10:26:38 AM Board discussion/Findings
10:27:38 AM Motion passed unanimously.
10:27:48 AM Discussion between the Commission, Ada Montague, Jecyn Bremer, County Planner Randy Johnson and Don Carlson. Commissioner White supports removing Conditions #21 and #22 and putting language on the plat pertaining to weed control.
10:38:21 AM Commissioner White I'd make a motion for the approval of the Lund Minor Subdivision with modifications to conditions and, I guess the conditions, present conditions #21 and #22 refer to a Homeowners' Association, and the intent of the Commission is to strike Homeowners' Association and, yeah, I was going into, I was on #21, I'm sorry I'll go back. That's how I operate, go backwards half the time, 'cause I just happen to have it opened up to this page. The intent is to eliminate Homeowners' Association and the reference to it, and refer to the owners and that the covenants would be recorded on the plat, and that Item C of #22 would specifically refer to a single lot owner, which would be Lot #2. Item E could be eliminated from the list. But let's go back to Condition #13, my motion would be to strike that, my motion would be
to strike Condition #21, modifying #22 as I put on record, and then also to strike Condition #27.
10:40:01 AM County Planner Ada Montague As well as #25.
10:40:03 AM Commissioner White And #25, yes. That would be my motion. If there's anything I missed can add that, be open to adding that to my motion.
