Ryan explained that the property owner could not find the septic tank. Until that is found there can’t be any additions built on the property or upgrades made to the home.
- Todd Steiner (residence at 3000 S Mill Rd.)
The Town Council granted approval for the Steiner’s to build a home on this lot. Ryan passed the staff report and showed the house plans to the Commissioners. The staff report showed a list of a few more things to be done before building. The Steiner’s are still waiting on the County Health and Fire Departments to submit their approval. Ryan found no problems with setbacks that would affect building on this property. The plans for the driveway appear to be overlapping the water meter and would require either moving the water meter or the driveway. This is an item that can be easily resolved. The owners will also provide a copy of the irrigation certificate.
Commissioner Weight moved to approve the Steiner residence with the stipulation that all the items in the staff report are complied with. Commissioner Binkerd seconded the motion. Discussion: Commissioner Norris asked if they shouldn’t see the plat plans first. The motion was amended to read to approve the Steiner residence with the stipulation that all the items in the staff report are complied with and upon Chairman Bunker’s review of the plat plans. The second stands and the vote was unanimous. The motion carried.
- Plumber property Little Sweden and Mill rd. : (Small sub. update)
The Town Council has followed the Town Planning Commission’s recommendation of approving these lots as “Lots of Records”. A letter was sent to the property owners concerning this approval.
- Nilsson (residence at 3638 S Big Hollow Rd.)
Ryan of Epic Engineering distributed the staff report concerning the Nilsson residence. He explained that the owners of this property have not yet responded to the items listed therein.
There is a problem with the zoning of this and two other adjacent properties. They are believed to be legal, non-conforming lots in the P160 zone but no legal papers have been produced to prove this legality. The upper lot was built upon before the town existed and the middle lot has already been approved. The Nilssons could either request a lot change or go before the Town Council to request approval of a non-conforming lot.
Commissioner Binkerd moved to send the question of the status of these lots to the Town Council for verification with Commissioner Skinner seconding. The vote was unanimous and the motion carried.

Phil Thacker corrected the setback deficiencies on the Ag building.

Commissioner Binkerd moved to send both documents to the Town Council with the recommendation that both be adopted with Commissioner Skinner seconding. The vote was unanimous and the motion carried.
Chairman Bunker gave all the Commissioners a copy of the Daniel Town General Plan 2009 and explained that he used this Plan whenever he had decisions to make concerning the town.
