At-a-glance: Planning commission recommends approvals for two MET towers and one feedlot; minutes approved
Summary
On July 21 the Planning Commission recommended approval of two Swift Current Energy MET tower interim-use permits (both with 4‑year termination conditions) and a conditional use permit for a 720‑AU swine feedlot with a 50‑foot buffer and township-access coordination; minutes from the July 7 meeting were approved and the meeting adjourned at 7:23 p.m.
The Morrison County Planning Commission took formal action on three agenda items on July 21: it recommended approval of two interim use permits to install 198‑foot meteorological towers for Swift Current Energy (each recommendation includes a condition that the permit terminate four years from issuance), and it recommended approval of a conditional use permit for a tier‑3 swine feedlot (720 animal units) with conditions requiring a 50‑foot grass buffer around the barn and coordination with the township on driveway access.
All three recommendations were unanimous. The commission also approved minutes from its July 7 meeting and adjourned at 7:23 p.m. Each planning commission recommendation will be forwarded to the Morrison County Board of Commissioners for final action at its July 28, 2026 meeting.
