Summary

Blue Earth County commissioners adopted planning commission recommendations to approve an interim use permit for a bluff stabilization project on Madison Lake and approved a three-lot final plat and a registered land survey, with no public objections recorded at the hearings.

Blue Earth County commissioners on June 24 approved three planning items forwarded with unanimous recommendations from the planning commission: an interim use permit for a bluff stabilization and reconstruction project on Madison Lake (PC 3724), the final plat of Bornicki Second Addition (PC 14-25), and a registered land survey (PC 15-25).

Scott (last name not provided in transcript) presented PC 3724, saying the applicants Shannon and Katie Cohen seek an interim use permit for bluff stabilization at 22374 Lakeview Hills Road within the Madison Lake shoreland. Staff reported the proposal includes tree removal, seeding with native grasses and shrubs, and planting pine trees; the planning commission voted unanimously to recommend approval based on staff findings and conditions. The board opened the public hearing; no public comments were offered and the board approved the planning commission’s resolution by voice vote.

John (last name not provided in transcript) presented PC 14-25, the final plat for Samuel Bornicki, a three-lot subdivision in Luray Township. Staff said the applicant was present, there was no public comment and the planning commission had no concerns; the board approved the resolution based on the planning commission’s findings and conditions.

The board then considered PC 15-25, a registered land survey for parcels in Jamestown Township submitted by Dennis J. and Carol A. Dotson and Timothy and Jean (surnames not provided in the record). Staff told the planning commission the applicants were present and there were no public comments; the planning commission recommended approval and the board adopted the resolution.

All three approvals were recorded as motions carried by voice vote; the meeting record contains no roll-call tallies. Conditions, findings and the resolution language are available in the planning staff packet.
