Summary

The Ward County Commission approved three outlot plats—applications from Mark Birdsall, Legacy Acres LLC and Barry Scheresky—following Planning Commission recommendations and township approvals.

The commission approved three separate outlot plats presented by planning staff. The plats were: Mark Birdsall’s proposed Outlot 1 for continued agricultural use in Evergreen Township; Legacy Acres LLC’s proposed Outlot 20 in Sawyer Township for continued residential use; and Barry Scheresky’s proposed Outlot 2 in Des Lacs Township intended for future rural residential use for a family member. Each application was recommended by the Planning Commission and the township, and each motion to approve carried on roll-call votes with Commissioners Rostad, Merritt, Olson, Schuler and Chairman Fjeldahl recorded as yes.

Staff noted that Ward County zoning applies to each plat and that approvals were based on findings of fact and staff recommendations. The minutes record the approvals as motions with the county following the standard plat-review procedure; no variances or special conditions were documented in the meeting minutes.
