Kelby Thomas indicated that this would be the future site of Tri-State Windows where they would manufacture and assemble windows and have a showroom to display their products in approximately two years. Kelby indicated until the construction they would like to continue to use it as agriculture. Kelby Thomas also mentioned that one of the individuals involved in the business would also like to place some bee hives on the property and extract the honey out of a future building.

Town Plan Commission member, Curt Peterson had questioned Kelby Thomas why Scott had recommended it be placed into B-4 Industrial Business versus B-3 Heavy Business District. Kelby Thomas had indicated that he wasn’t exactly sure. Clerk/Treasurer Sara Olson indicated that she had talked to Scott Godfrey of why it couldn’t be placed into B-3 and he stated that it was due to the fabricating of the windows. Curt Peterson had indicated due to the setbacks in B-4 which is 500 ft from any residents it would be hard to place the building on the parcel.

Plan Commission, Anthony Esch had welcomed comments from the general public that was present. Warren Bohlman had indicated that he felt there packet of materials wasn’t completed as indicated on the form. Chairman, Anthony Esch indicated that some of the things such as the CSM and plot plans are required at the county level versus the Town level. Kris Randal indicated that she felt that the individuals where not exactly clear in the plans of what they were going to do with the land. A few of the members of the audience where concerned about the bees and the placement of them on the property due to homes being on three sides of the property.
