Rushford Village zoning office flags incomplete permits, septic requirements and driveway approvals
Summary
Officials reviewed permit applications and advised applicants on missing information: an incomplete commercial/shop permit, a $40,000 remodel cleared, and corn-bin and house applications needing septic permits and address assignment; MnDOT was cited for driveway approvals.
At the Jan. 20 Planning and Zoning meeting, Administrator Jon Pettit described a set of permit applications and related conditions that commissioners and staff said applicants must address before work proceeds.
Pettit said the application submitted by Dominic Jenkins for Highway 16 was “very incomplete,” with an example listed of a 35-by-80-foot shop/office estimated at $35,000; Pettit said Jenkins must provide more complete cost estimates and obtain a septic permit where required. Jeremiah Smith’s application for a $40,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel on County Road 27 was described as acceptable with no objections noted.
Brian Olson submitted two permit applications for a Highway 16 property — one for corn bins and one for a house — but the site lacks an assigned address. Pettit said the corn-bin permit should not be a problem, but the house permit cannot proceed until a septic permit is in place. Olson also requested two driveways; Pettit advised contacting the Minnesota Department of Transportation about a second driveway and noted there is an ordinance affecting shared driveways.
The commission also reviewed the annual permits issued and expenses for 2025, approved them as presented, and confirmed meeting dates and member terms. Jayme Longmire’s CEDA monthly report was reviewed during the meeting. The commission’s next zoning meeting is scheduled for Feb. 17, 2026 at 5:30 p.m.
