10:30 a.m. - Bob Dane/Subdivision Information/Questions – Bob Dane spoke with Council regarding 450 acres on N ½ 31-10-15 & N ½ 36-10-16 that he would like to subdivide. He would like to have those two half sections developed as larger lots (more than ten acres) & designated as rural residential. Council cautioned that there are already a number of lots for sale to the east & west of Carberry. Dane refuted that he has received requests for larger lots than those already available. John McEntee, District Planner, noted that if Council was to consider changing the designation of those quarters from “Agricultural” it would be a good time as the development plan is being rewritten. Reeve Adriaansen commented that taxes must be paid at the rural residential rate within three years, whether sold or not. Dane noted that his plan was to develop in phases. Council will send a letter of support for the project to the Cypress Planning District.
