Regular Meeting (Zoning Administrator Report)

The October 2024 monthly summary report from Kasson Township’s Zoning Administrator, Timothy A. Cypher, details the permits issued and other zoning activities during the month. A total of three land use permits were issued, covering the construction of accessory buildings, a deck with stairs, and other related projects. Additionally, two special land use permits were pending public hearings, involving New Cass, LLC and Rieth-Riley for rezoning amendment and gravel renewal respectively. The total fees collected from these activities amounted to $1,375, reflecting the financial impact of the township’s zoning and land use activities.

The report also highlights other zoning activities and inquiries processed during October. There were no proceedings for the Zoning Board of Appeals (Z.B.A.), and no permits were issued for single-family residences, additions, garages, or commercial constructions. However, there was one inquiry related to decks and porches, and another concerning stairs and landings. The zoning administrator managed eight construction inspections and handled one ongoing investigation related to yard junk, which is in the process of cleanup. This indicates a focus on maintaining compliance with zoning regulations and addressing community concerns.

Timothy Cypher also engaged in significant communication efforts, responding to 24 phone calls and 19 emails from township residents and others. This communication underscores the importance of community engagement and the role of the zoning administrator in providing information and assistance. The report reflects a busy month in terms of permit issuance, ongoing projects, and administrative duties, demonstrating the township’s commitment to managing land use and zoning effectively.
