Town of Concord Plan Commission Minutes

May 26, 2021

The meeting was called to order at 7:03 p.m. with Plan Commission members Lloyd Zastrow, Jim Gilbert, Carole Hoffmeister, and Kim Miller present.

The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Lloyd Zastrow stated that the meeting had been properly posted.

Jim Gilbert made a motion to approve the minutes from the March 24, 2021, meeting, seconded by Carole Hoffmeister. All approved. Motion passed.

John Walsh requested a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 30’ x 30’ x 13’ high addition to an existing outbuilding (personal use only). Current outbuilding is 900 square feet, and addition would add an additional 900 square feet. A conditional use permit is needed for a structure larger than 1000 square feet in residential zoning. There is adequate setback from the road, and no neighbors object. Jim Gilbert made a motion to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit, seconded by Lloyd Zastrow. All approved. Motion passed.

Craig Kuehl and Mike Martin of Signs-R-Us requested a variance to replace an existing billboard with a new one that would overhang county-owned land at 40-45 feet above ground level, with one sign face in each direction. No county-owned land would be used at ground level. This would allow the billboard to have a standard size and shape (14’ x 48’). Kim Miller made a motion to recommend approval of the variance, seconded by Jim Gilbert. All approved. Motion passed.

With no further business, Lloyd Zastrow made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Jim Gilbert. Meeting adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,
