Request for Minor Subdivision – St. Clair
Staff report has been completed.
Patricia St. Clair made the following comment concerning question on access see wording in #2 from the township’s planner. Is there some way to change the wording to make it less demanding? #1 could the word “Owner” be “the current Owners of the parcels/easement”. #2 “in compliance with Town standards.” could the language be modified to say “in compliance with existing Town Standards for a private access road or driveway”.
Mr. Magnuson stated that this wording as presented by the town planner is currently in other township easement statements. Most joint driveways are created with family members.
Sherri Buss stated that Washington County will probably demand this statement.

1. The minor subdivision shall be in substantial compliance with the Preliminary Plat received by the Township on September 8, 2014.

To the extent that the easement is not in good repair or in compliance with Town standards, the Owner is obligated to bring the easement into good repair at the time of transfer.”

Dennis Trenda , there is a dip on Odegard, it settles on the east side. Ron will have Miller Excavating look at it. Maybe we can get through the winter and fix in summer of 2015.
John Fellegy – Sept 11 meeting of the MSCWMO. John Hall also attended the Sept 11 meeting. The topic of MIDS standards was discussed. Sherri Buss stated that the Township just adapts the same water Management Plan concerning infiltration and the standards as Washington County. So the MSCWMO should just talk to Washington County to adapt the standards and then the Township will ultimately follow the county.
