Upsala Planning Commission Minutes
February 4, 2009

The Upsala Planning Commission met at 5:30 pm on February 4, 2009 in the Upsala City Hall. Present were members Dan Cheney, Lynda Tarbuck and Steve Woller. Absent: Joan Olson.

Lynda Tarbuck informed the group that Billy Scholz (who had a permit approved for a shed on his land) may need to move the structure because of flood plain concerns. It was suggested he submit a new drawing so it can be confirmed that he would still be following setback guidelines.

In organizational matters, Dan Cheney will remain chair of the UPC. New council member Joan Olson will be taking Dan Hovland’s position on the commission. The secretary will be appointed next month. There is still an at-large position to be filled. Meeting times will remain at 6:00 pm on the first Wednesday of the month. Meetings may be cancelled if there are no outstanding permit requests or pressing business for the commission.

The issue of possibly restricting the use of wood burners in the city limits was brought up. Some discussion was held. The issue will be discussed further next month when we will review ordinances from other cities.

Dan Cheney informed the commission that the state had requested a list of “shovel ready” projects to be considered should the state receive economic stimulus money from the Federal Government. The Regional Services Center and Tower Road improvements were submitted.

Meeting was adjourned at 6:20 pm.

Respectfully submitted,
Dan Cheney
Acting Secretary
