Summary
At the meeting the board approved consent items, several final plats, an interim use permit for a small automobile repair shop, a conditional use permit for a Great River Energy communications tower, awarded an abatement low bid, and scheduled public hearings for tax-forfeiture classification and Ditch 20.
The Isanti County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of routine and land-use items during the meeting, summarized here for quick reference:
- Approved adding agenda item A11 to change the Nov. 4 board meeting time to 09:00 a.m. because of a school referendum on that date.
- Approved the transition agreement and contract with Central Square (LATG) for the sheriffs office (see separate article).
- Approved scheduling a public meeting on Nov. 4 at 09:30 a.m. for tax-forfeit property classification under revised statutes and public-notice requirements.
- Planning and zoning items: the board approved an interim use permit for a part-time automobile repair shop in Stanford Township with ten conditions and five findings; approved final plats including Maplecrest (second edition), Peaceful Acres, Peterson Farms, and Wennberg addition (various conditions where noted); approved a conditional use permit for Great River Energy to construct a 321-foot communications tower with 11 conditions and 5 findings.
- Awarded an abatement low bid of $1,600 to Olo for a property in Francis Lake Shores; the work will be charged back on the property tax roll.

- Set a final hearing date of Sept. 16 at 11 a.m. for matters related to Isanti County Ditch 20, per state drainage statute and now that an engineers report has been filed.
Procedural notes: where votes included recusal (e.g., Commissioner Westerberg on the Schmeag item) the minutes reflect the recusal; abstentions and opposing votes are recorded for particular items (for example, Commissioner Leroux abstained on one item). For full vote wording and recorded findings, the official minutes and planning commission reports should be consulted.
