transfer of development rights subject to the 10 conditions listed in his report. (attached)
Chair Swenson opened the Hearing to the Public for comments.
Karen Steffens questioned Condition Number 2, moving building site +300 feet to the
North. Mr. Kirmis recommended consideration of moving site to abut the farmstead.
The Chair closed the hearing and brought discussion to the Planning Commission.
Bruce Rask questioned Condition #2. Mr. Kirmis referred to the Ordinance, clustering
can happen unless it disrupts farming activities. Mr. Swenson pointed out that if the
parcel was larger and using more development rights, then it would be more appropriate,
also this one lot is the most desirable site, which would be the high point.
Arleen Nagel questioned the number of development rights. Mr. Kirmis assumes there are
more since there are four forties.
Mark Wallace motioned to grant the Conditional Use Permit to allow the one per
forty transfer of development rights subject to the 10 conditions listed the NAC
