Residents and staff discuss Cedron 360 updates, county to send shoreland ordinance to board next month
Summary
Committee members discussed a new manure‑processing facility (identified in a county farm newsletter) and the possibility of a public site visit; staff said the county’s shoreland ordinance will go to the county board next month for readings and adoption later in the spring or early summer.
Committee members raised public interest in a new manure‑processing technology referred to in a mailed flyer and asked whether the group could arrange a tour of a nearly completed facility.
A committee member said the flyer described the facility’s operation, noting that most of the material applied to fields is water and that the process may reduce road traffic and speed field work. Staff said they could discuss scheduling a tour as part of the county’s Great Lakes Committee summer tour and that any organized visit would need to comply with open‑meeting rules.
Staff also reported that the county shoreland ordinance had not completed internal processing in time for the current month and that the ordinance package would go to the county board next month. Staff described a typical county‑board process: a first reading and public hearing followed by a second reading and final action; staff said the ordinance would be incorporated into the county code after the second reading.
Why it matters: a new manure‑processing facility could affect local manure management, field traffic and water‑discharge flows into nearby creeks; shoreland ordinance changes affect shoreline development standards in county jurisdiction.
The committee did not take formal action on either item at the meeting; the discussion was informational and focused on scheduling a potential site visit and the ordinance timeline.
