The Crookston Planning Commission met on Tuesday in the City Hall council chambers.
The first item on the agenda was the resolution to approve a conditional use request to be awarded to A&E properties. A&E Properties is looking to provide Automobile crushing services at 2701 Highway 75 South near Valley Plains Equipment and Cenex gas station.
“This was needed because the state has imposed an additional requirement that when someone is crushing automobiles, the crusher has to inform the state that they are within the zoning permitted by the city,” said City Administrator Corky Reynolds, “This is an industrial zone, conditional use permits are allowed in there, but it must be looked at by the planning commission and make sure it is within the comprehensive plan.”
This item was recommended to be approved and will be an action item on the next city council meeting agenda on Monday, November 27.
The final item on the agenda was the approval of the Airport Cash Farm Lease resolution to be awarded to C&D Reitmeier Inc. This is a 356-acre property in which the city received bidders for a three-year lease.
C&D Reitmeier Inc. is looking to use the property for farming and crop production. This item was recommended for approval by the committee and will also be recommended to the city council during the next council meeting.
