Traverse County commissioners approved a Conditional Use Permit to excavate, grade and fill roughly 3,000 cubic yards within a Conservation District and an adjacent steep slope to stabilize erosion, add two stairways, a boat access pathway and ramp, retaining walls and a water-oriented accessory structure. Zoning Administrator Ben Oleson presented the Planning Commission's recommendation for approval with three conditions; Commissioner Dwight Nelson moved to accept the recommendation and findings of fact, Commissioner Chad Metz seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

The minutes note the excavated material will be used to level an area for a future home and accessory structures. The Planning Commission's recommended conditions and the findings of fact were adopted by the board, but the meeting minutes do not list the three conditions in full or include a project timeline.
