The Plan Commissioners met this week to consider extended public input regarding revisions to our Zoning Ordinance. Led by Chair Jodi Lomma the commissioners were able complete review of input and are now closer to presenting those final revisions for consideration.

A large 40” culvert on 90^th just south of CTH W has failed. Now the west side of the road is giving way where a hole has developed (pic). We have installed traffic drums and signage restricting passage just to the east side of the road (pic). The board will consider an emergency resolution to replace this culvert as soon as possible. In the interim please use caution when traveling this section of road. Thank you.

Happy Spring/Winter! Sharon
