Chair; Andy Lindquist, Virginia Partmann, and Bill Stone present.

Motion by Lindquist, second by Partmann, and unanimously carried to approve the County Board
agenda of October 20, 1998 as mailed.
Approval of Minutes
Motion by Partmann, second by Nelson, and unanimously carried to approve the County Board
minutes of October 13, 1998 as mailed.
4-H Update
Educators, Steve Handegaard and Donna Geiser, updated board members on 4-H activities and
provided handouts. They presented a magazine, "4-H in Otter Tail County", promoting national 4-
H week of October 4-10, 1998 and a Cluster 7 4-H Ambassador Training brochure. Discussion
followed.
Notification of TIF District
Commissioner Lee acknowledged a letter from the City of Vergas that notifies Otter Tail County of
a proposed modification of District No. 1-1 (a housing tax increment financing district). The public
hearing is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on December 7, 1998.
Ditch No. 48 Report
County Attorney, David Hauser, responded to last week's inquiry of the County Board regarding
Ditch No. 48. He reported that as far as bridges and culverts are concerned, they are primarily the
responsibility of the road authority. Because in Ditch System No. 48, the bridge request is clearly
not a repair, it would be inappropriate for the County Board to take action based on the petition that
was filed at last week's regular County Board meeting.

Motion by Partmann, second by Lindquist, and unanimously carried to approve an increase in the
Driver's License change fund from $25 to $50.

_sides with a silt fence installed as a temporary measure during construction. Commissioner

& K Beach" consisting of two residential lots (Sec. 33 of Aurdal Twp., Wall Lake -56-658) with

Page 3
Mr. Kalar reported that the Planning Commission denied this preliminary plat consisting of one lot
to be attached to lot 7 of First Addition to Stenstrom Beach. He stated that there were concerns
with wetland area and access to the property. Neighboring landowner, Mike Partain, presented a
letter to the County Board. He expressed concerns regarding the proposed location of the road
over the wetland and the potential of the wetlands to back up. As a neighbor, Mr. Partain

followed.

,· 1480) with conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion included a
0
clarification that if the land is developed by way of plat, the road would need to meet county specs
and if the land is developed by metes and bounds, the township must approve the road.
Commissioner Partmann suggested that the developer(s) be informed of this in case they would
choose to widen the road at this time.

Commission for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a retaining wall out of concrete (Sec. 12,
