Board continued discussion on the land use change for Samuel Tiernan that was tabled on July 27, 2021. Marc Greenlee, Matt Even, Samuel Tiernan and Bonnie Ehrienberger were present. Supervisor Seeman stated he spoke with the County Attorney regarding liability questions for the property lacking the site distance. He questioned if they lowered the speed limit around the area if it would help the matters, ultimately the County would still be liable since the ordinance specifically states 500 foot site distance is required for driveways. Board encouraged Tiernan to talk to the adjoining neighbors about an easement for a conforming driveway.

Primmer moved/Bierschenk seconded: To deny land use change application for Samuel Tiernan in part of Parcel B in NE SE of Section 23-82-9 because the driveway is not compliant with the County Driveway Policy and there is no feasible way to make it compliant. Motion carried.

Board recessed.

Primmer moved/Bierschenk seconded: To approve Resolution #21-64, Employee contract with Dean Vrba. Motion carried.

Primmer moved/Bierschenk seconded: To adjourn. Motion carried.
