WRIGHT CO WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN=
Swenson explained we were talking about developing a
plan and having our plan being the governing document. We
found out that the County's Plan takes precedent over
anything we do. We have to conform to their plan. Swenson
wanted to clear this up. Swenson talked about information
that all had received from Larry Koshak, City Engineer. He
stated that we need to review this systematically The Council
has ordered us one complete copy of text and maps as two
sections of the document we have are missing. At the next
Council meeting we will decide if we want everyone to review
the complete document. Swenson will review it when it is
received. Swenson also suggested that we take portions of
the document as an assignment and go over some at each
meeting. Since we don't have the complete document he
suggested that we review the fllowing:
1. Executive Summary
2. History of Water Plan Development
3. Summary of Available Data
4. Part III - Goals -Objectives -Actions
Numbering System Explanation
Septic System Issues
S. 1. On -Site Septic Systems
6. Non -Agricultural Land Use Issues
It was suggested last meeting that we should try to get
Franklin Dehn to come to a meeting. If the Commission is
agreeable to this, Swenson will call him before the next
meeting. We should read some of this report and then discuss
it. Hakanson-Anderson's information as to what to read is
attached.
Goenner asked if this document supersedes, why are we
reading it, if the County has the final say?
Swenson answered we can make comments and they will be
attached to the document. We can go beyond what the Count/
has with our regulations.
CITY OF OTSEGO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OF 2/17/93
AT 8PM - PAGE 2 -
Roskaft said that the memo the City decides on will go
with the County Plan to the State to be decided on.
Swenson said he thinks the plan is already adopted by
the County, but doesn't know if the State will consider it.
Black thought when we have a comment period it generally
assumes the document is subject to revision. If Otsego
objected violently and had justifications for it he thinks
the County has to take another look at it.
After we find out what the County has said we have to
find out if it meets our ordinances.
Goenner asked if the County would be in charge of
enforcing it?
Swenson said he believes the County didn't necessarily
do enforcement of this.
Black said it would not be an ordinance. It is a plan.
The Commission may just as well get it's feet wet because
wetlands is the next issue we want the Planning Commission to
look at. He explained.
Rask said he read through the plan and finds it hard to
believe that the Council would want more restrictions.
Black brought up the Planning Commission Meeting for
Land Use Planning and the Council has authorized anyone from
the Planning Commission who wants to attend. Let Beatty know
if you want to go so she can sign you up.
Roskaft motioned to adjourn the meeting. McAlpine
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
