Stewart Turnquist appeared before the Board in regard to his
request for a. 675 sq ft meeting room addition to his Riverwood 'Con-
ference Center. He gave a, brief review of how the Conference Center
was started.
Tom Salkowski said decision was made 3 years ago to label the
Conference Center as a resort. Because it is a condition use permit,
a new hearing is required each time an expansion is requested. He
did not feel there should be any problem anproving the expansion.
Larry Fournier, representing the Otsego Planning Commission, said
the Planning Commission's concerns were that it was a non -conforming
use to begin with, how much more expansion will occur, and whether
the sewage system is adequate for the expansion.

Stewart Turnquist for a conditional use permit to construct a 675 sq ft
meeting room addition in the courtyard of the lodging building. Sec-
onded by William Schulz, passed unanimously.

larger mobile home.
Ronald Triden appeared before the Board in regard to the letter
he had received complaining about junk on his lot. He said he had
only 2 cars on his lot, one will be removed and the other will be

Mr. Schwartz of the Soil Conservation Office appeared to discuss
the repair of 62nd Lane. He has viewed the areaand observed a lot

62nd lane would be too expensive. He would like more time to work
with Pete Raatikka to try and solve the drainage problem along 62 Lane.
The Board decided to delay any work on 62nd Lane until a final decision
is made on what to do with the drainage problem.
