Commission conditionally approves Golden Lake plats to speed development
Summary
The Steele County Commission voted to approve three Golden Lake plats contingent on township approval so developers can proceed with building timelines. The approval includes a clerk signature edit and was passed by voice vote.
The Steele County Commission on Sept. 1 voted to approve three plats for Golden Lake, contingent on the township’s subsequent sign-off, moving the projects forward while the township completes its review.
Jason Ness of Mead Hunt briefed commissioners on the plats and asked the board to provide prior approval to avoid delays. "They would like to get prior approval from us upon the township's approval so that way the projects can move forward pretty quickly out there," the chair read when introducing the proposal. Commissioner Perry then moved to approve the plats "with the name change," and the motion carried by voice vote.
Commissioners clarified that the county’s approval is conditioned on the township acceptance and that any signature or minor edits would be handled administratively. Jason Ness (Mead Hunt) confirmed the boundaries were as presented and that the plats matched prior sales to adjacent owners. The board signed the plats after the name edit and thanked the presenters.
The county did not record a roll-call tally in the record; the action was recorded as motion made, seconded, and carried on voice votes. The commissioners noted that the prior township approval remains a prerequisite and that county approval does not supersede township-level proceedings.
