Present: Bob Janes, Don Krajeck, Eric Larsen, Janis Ringhand & Bill Hammann
Absent: Tom Cothard

The agenda was accepted as printed on a Ringhand/Krajeck motion, unanimous.

Minutes of the September 17, 2008 meeting were accepted as printed on Ringhand/Hammann motion, unanimous.

Review of Land Use & Utility Maps

Reviewed the following maps:

· Possible Sewer Service Area – Northeast Quarter of City
· Improvements to Lift Station #5 expanded the sewer service utilities to the south to include future Industrial Parks.
· The improvements to Lift Station #5 expand the service area to the North & East out to Territorial road. Much of this area is currently developed with rural residential.

We still need to review Southwest Quarter of City Sewer Service Area Map.

· Evansville’s & Union’s Future Land Use Map

· Examined areas of contention on both maps:
· Gildner Property
· Doyle/Sendelbach Property
· Golf Course & Janes Property
· Future Capstone Ridge
· Shraeder Property
· Since these properties are contiguous with the city they should fall into city zoning on the Evansville’s Future Land Use Map.

· Areas within Extraterritorial Boundary included on the City Future Land Use Map, but not on the Township Future Land Use Map:
· Shotliff Property
· Janes Property
· Midthun Property
· Sperry Property
· These properties are all located along Territorial road.
· Since these properties are adjacent to existing township development they should fall within Township zoning.

We still need a combined Evansville’s & Union’s Future Land Use Map highlighting areas of contention.

Boundary Agreements

Discussed various types of Intergovernmental Agreements.

Request from city administrator a synopsis of the various types of agreements from a full-blown Boundary agreement to a simple Extraterritorial Zoning agreement.

Union Township would like this committee to work out the agreement details.

Union Township asks the Evansville’s planning Commission, “Why does the city need to expand beyond the current Annex areas?”

Union Township would like this committee to focus on an agreement on Future Land Use Zoning.


Next meeting date, November 19, 2008, 6:00 p.m., City Hall

Adjourn at 6:55 p.m. on a Hammann/Janes motion.
