Mark Wieman met with the Board to discuss the way road
maintenance is done. He had some
suggestions that maintenance should be done much more often during the harvest
season since the large trucks and tractors can really make the roads get bad in
a short time. He advised that maybe a
policy should be started to help keep maintainers moving on roads especially at
harvest season. Mr. Weatherholt told Mr. Wieman that some of the problems were
caused by heavy traffic on the roads to finish up the county’s culvert project.
The Board assured Mark that they would work with the farmers on this problem.
The application of the Blank Agency for running irrigation
line under road from one pivot to another was reviewed.
Motion made by Kment, seconded by Goodpasture to approve the

before he could make it up the walk. She
told the Board that it is a dangerous situation if someone is alone and if no

to the handicapped. He will report back to the Board.

Cheryl
Wolverton joined the meeting and told the Board about some Courthouse safety
issues that were pointed out at a meeting she attended. She explained that most
of the issues were connected to the Custodial and Maintenance positions at the
Courthouse. Cheryl said that it was
suggested that any snow removal should be recorded as far as the time it was
done and if salt was applied or not. They emphasized that you cannot take too
many precautions when it comes to safety. It was decided that our Custodian
would be informed that for safety purposes, all vacuuming and mopping should be
done in the evening after the Courthouse closes.

authorization form for the tree removal.
Mark
Mainelli joined the meeting.
Neal
Brandyberry of RVW, Inc. appeared before the Board to discuss gravel purchases
and road conditions connected to the placing of fiber optic cables for Stanton
Telecom, Inc. He was inquiring as to
whether the County would pay some of the costs of the road repairs since he
felt that the rain caused some of the damages.
Mr. Goodpasture stated that in his opinion their company caused the
damages and they are responsible for costs of any repairs needed to the
roads. The Board told Mr. Brandyberry
that they thought Darrell Hansen, Bridge foreman had been quite fair when he
calculated the amount of gravel that was needed to repair the damages caused to
the road, but that he could contact Darrell and further discuss the matter if he
liked. He said that he would report the
Board’s opinions back to the company.
LaLene
Bates, Zoning Administrator joined the meeting. She presented the plat of the
Zastrow Subdivision to be located in the SWSW & SESW 17-24-1. She explained that there was a problem with
the access roads into the proposed subdivision. Mr. Mainelli advised the Board
that the road would be located on a hill crest and could be a cause of
accidents. He advised that the Board
should require that an engineer sign off on the safety of the placement of the
driveways into the subdivision and that the plat should show the setback of
100’ from the center of the county road.
Motion
made by Weatherholt, seconded by Goodpasture to approve the Zastrow Subdivision
with the condition that an engineer’s signature should be obtained to sign off
on the safety of the placement of the driveways and that the plat would show

Mr.
Mainelli discussed several road projects with the Board and will line up
bidding on culverts and other materials needed for these projects. Mr.

Mr. Mainelli advised him that no slower speed signs should be placed at those
locations. Mr. Goodpasture asked if he
could place a “Children At Play” sign there.
He was told that he could, but that it probably would not regulate speed
limits. He advised that patrolling by the Sheriff’s Dept. personnel in that
particular area for a few days might help. Mr. Goodpasture asked about putting
stop signs and making a four way stop at 843 Road and 560 Avenue. Mr. Mainelli said that a study was done and
stop signs were placed where the need is greatest.

Dale Hajek joined the
meeting. Jarett Doernemann, Jim Egley, Attorney for Mr. Doernemann, Ken Schmid,
and William Johnson also joined the meeting.
Mike Unger, Co.
Sheriff and LaLene Bates, Zoning Administrator joined the meeting.
Dale Hajek gave
testimony stating that the hog odors at his residence were intolerable. He stated that he had kept a log of days and
marked the different days showing intensity of odors and type of odors. He stated that he was living there before the
hog operation was allowed to come in and that he blames the County for letting
the operation start. The Board explained
that the hog operation had filed all the necessary papers and conformed with
all the laws at the time they applied for the permit. Mr. Weatherholt told Mr. Hajek that none of
the other neighbors have complained about the odor to any great extent and that
a residence had been built in the area. They also stated that he lives in an
agriculturally zoned area and that ag operations are allowed. Mr. Kment stated that the hog operations are
considered agricultural and cannot be as easily controlled as if they were
classified commercial. It was stated that perhaps a tree buffer would help with
the odors. Mr. Hajek told the Board that he feels that some zoning changes need
to be made to keep these large operations out of
Jarett Doernemann
came before the Board to discuss his permit for a compost site. The Board had sent a letter to him stating
that he had 30 days to significantly improve the odors at the site. Members of the Board stated that they have
had many calls about the odors. Mr.
Doernemann explained that he has made some changes in the way the material is
handled, but that any changes will not show up for approximately 8 weeks or
more, so the thirty day deadline is not feasible. He also told Board members that he believes
the main problem is the SRM material and that he will no longer be bringing
that to the compost site, but will be taking it to a landfill. Mr. Doernemann stated that there will be more
and more use of these compost sites in the future and that there is no way to
eliminate the odor completely. Bill Johnson presented some information that he
had on this subject.
Motion made by
Weatherholt, seconded by Kment that because Mr. Doernemann came before the
Board and explained what he is doing to try to control odors and because no
more SRM material will be composted, that the motion giving him 30 days to
improve the odors be rescinded, and that odor problems will continue to be
monitored by the Planning and Zoning Administrator and the Board.
Voting: Ayes:
Weatherholt, Kment and Goodpasture.
Nayes: None. Motion Carried.
Cheryl Wolverton,
W. Bert Lammli joined

stated that the issuance of Economic Development Bonds would be a source of
funding for the project. He said that
the Notice of Intent to Issue Recovery Zone Bonds must be received by October
15, 2009. The County would have a length of time to spend this money if
awarded.

LaLene Bates, Zoning
Administrator joined the meeting.
Hearing was opened at
9:00 A.M. for the addition of the Highway Corridor Overlay to the Comprehensive
Plan of Stanton County, Nebraska. Alan Platt attended the hearing and gave
testimony. He told the Board that he is not necessarily in favor of the Overlay
District since it could bring development along the highway near his land. He
stated that the supposed purpose was to help with economic development and if
that is the case, then why doesn’t the proposed Overlay District include
highway 57, highway 15 and highway 24? He also had some concerns with the
proposed distance from the highway for development and that he didn’t feel that
