Cass County Planning Commission to hold public meeting July 21
That hearing will begin a 30-day review period in which the public is encouraged to comment on the changes. This will enable making any additional changes before a second hearing is scheduled, which will be before the county board.
To lessen the number of variances, the planning commission proposes to allow additions to non-conforming structures when the addition itself meets all setback requirements. It is proposed to allow animals not traditionally considered domestic such as chickens and rabbits on riparian lots, with criteria for such keeping.
The planning commission proposes to allow subdividing a platted lot by certificate of survey into two lots that meet current buildable lot size without going through the entire platting process.
Use of mechanized equipment on steep slope/bluff zones would be prohibited except as authorized by environmental services department.
The word "advisory" would be dropped from references in the ordinance, because the planning commission makes final decisions and is not just advisory to another body.

Longville Ambulance Service has reported an increase in calls for services in that district during the first quarter 2014.
In 2013, Longville Ambulance transported 47 patients. The number rose in 2014 to 56.
This put revenue in 2014 $6,852 above budget. Because the service must maintain staff whether or not they receive calls, they were able to keep expenses well under budget the first quarter this year.
The service's budget anticipated a 6.8 percent profit margin, but actually obtained an 18.1 percent profit the first quarter.
County Engineer David Enblom has obtained county board approval to put a bituminous overlay on three miles of County State Aid Highway 25 in Bungo Township. That road originally was paved with Otta Seal, an oil treatment on top of a gravel road.

They include Lori Gamache, Genell Kimball, Karen Nytes, Al Sanford, Gavin Gensmer, Patty Muscovitz, Victoria Legvold, Ken Quass, Sandy Shade and deputies in the auditor-treasurer office.
