Deputy code-enforcement officer reports on second-residence reviews and a gravel‑pit wind event
Summary
Deputy code-enforcement officer Jeff Schroeder reported routine reviews of second residences and annual gravel-pit inspections, and described a windstorm at the Larson pit that prompted a temporary shutdown and sprinkling to control dust.
Jeff Schroeder, deputy code enforcement, told the board that several second residences remain compliant and will be reviewed again in 12 months. He provided the commission with annual reports for multiple gravel pits and summarized a complaint about a wind event at the Larson pit; he said the operator shut down operations and applied sprinkling measures immediately.
Schroeder said he had contacted DNR and the operator and received follow-up reports indicating no silica was found on site and that the operator planned improvements. "They shut it down at about 03:30, and we're sprinkling it as we speak," Schroeder said, adding the state performed checks and the complainant expressed appreciation for the quick response. The board of adjustment adjourned and the county commission reconvened without additional action on those items.
