Councilmembers present: Sandy Lange, Norm Carlson, Tony Maciej, and Jim Molitor. Also present, Brian and Janelle Terhaar, Julie and Jim Spetz, Diane Cornell, Joe Duclos, Steve Peterson and Lonny Hutchins.
Mayor Lange opened the Public Hearing and asked the Terhaar’s to explain their plans for the assisted living home. The proposed assisted living home would have a common dining and living room, with a possible 20 resident rooms. A 30’or 40’x100’ possible addition onto existing house is being planned. The floor was open to discussion. Once all residents present had their questions answered, Mayor Lange then read Ordinance #24-0122. This would be an amendment to section 2.2 and 5.9 to include assisted living. Tony Maciej made a motion to adopt Ordinance #24-0122. Norm Carlson seconded the motion. All members voted in favor, except Jim Molitor abstained. Motion carried. Then Mayor Lange read the Conditional Use Permit which states the City of Swanville gives 505 DeGraff a Conditional Use Permit(CUP) to have an assisted living house on the property with a maximum of 20 residents and the CUP applies only to the Terhaar owner, any other owner would have to reapply for a new CUP. With that being said, Tony Maciej made a motion to accept the Conditional Use Permit as stated. Norm Carlson seconded the motion. All members voted in favor, except Jim Molitor abstained. Motion carried.
No building permit was issued. Mayor Lange then closed the meeting at 6:30 pm.
