2. Approval of 05-16-22 Planning Cmte Mtg Minutes – Alderman Steve Notheisen made a motion to approve the minutes, Alderman Russ Row Second to approve. All Committee members in favor. Minutes approved.

3. Discussion & Recommendation to the Planning Commission for Creek Crossing in Remlok Subdivision – For the next phase of Remlok there is a lot across the creek which is six acres, currently there are three options on the table. Option one is to build a city street with a bridge structure across to make four additional lots. Option two is to make a private lane across the creek for one lot. Option three is to leave the property as is in farmland. Zoning Administrator Nathan Krebel showed the committee a picture of the structure that is under the street in the Silver Creek subdivision. That has been in use now for almost 20 years, it gets inspected every three years and at this time it shows little to no wear and has passed inspection every time without issue. Dennis Brand explained that he has had a water hydraulic test conducted on the creek and it should be able to use the same type of structure that was used in Silver Creek. The builder would be responsible for the cost of putting in the structure and road then after the final plat was approved, the city would take over the maintenance of the road and creek crossing. Alderman Steve Notheisen made a recommendation to the planning commission that the Planning Committee would be in favor of any of the three listed options. Alderman Matt Buettner seconded the recommendation. All other committee members were in favor. Zoning Administrator Nathan Krebel then brought up for informational purposes that future Phase 5 in Remlok will possibly be another creek crossing with a similar bridge design as discussed. This would connect Remlok Subdivision with Legacy Subdivision. Dennis Brand thought that would be in the best interest of the city to let EMS, Fire, Police, School buses and residents pass easily between those two developments. No action is needed by the Committee at this time.

4. Comments – None

Motion to adjourn meeting made by Alderman Russ Row, Seconded by Alderman Russ Row. All members in favor, meeting adjourned at 6:19pm
