R. Miller then informed the Commission members of his intent to build a single family residence (1293 sq. ft with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom) to be set upon a concrete slab. R. Miller indicated the following utilities would be included: electricity, sewer and water. R. Miller also indicated the residence would mainly be used for recreational uses and hunting by family members only. R. Miller knows the 5 acres to be rezoned abuts a wetland area and indicated setback requirements for the single family residence, driveway, well, and mound system would be adhered to. Members were then asked by Chairman D. Argall if there were any questions. R. Miller was asked if he had plans on renting out the residence; he replied no, that it will be used only by family members. A discussion regarding the location to a wetland was well challenged and R.

Everyone took the time to review the policy. The only suggestion was to add wording regarding who determines when the snow plows go out. Decided to have the Chairman work with the Contractor, considering safety factors, as to when the plows would go out. S. Herman will make the addition and have the policy ready for approval at the next Plan Meeting. The discussion continued on how to incorporate the remaining points into the 20 Year Plan for the Town. Members decided the update would be in Chapter 3 for the business, manufacturing industry section. Incorporation of the remaining points needs to be written in a “generic” manner so as not to discriminate against any industrial/manufacturing business that considers the Town of Gibson a good place to establish a business. Next meeting was scheduled for TBD. Chairman D. Argall to send email for availability of members and schedule accordingly Motion by J. Rabitz and seconded by S. Herman to adjourn. Motion passed, all voted aye. Respectively submitted, Chairman D. Argall Town of Gibson Plan Commission
