Todd County Commissioners: Division over rehearing of Lakeside Acres First Addition Preliminary plat
by Karin L. Nauber
The county received a letter dated March 10 from Johnston Law Office requesting the rehearing of Board Action 20220215-26 Lakeside Acres First Addition Preliminary Plat.
The letter stated they would like the rehearing of the cul-de-sac reconstruction project which would hold the developer—Douglas Lien—liable for the costs associated with reconstructing the cul-de-sac which has existed for many years.
Commissioner Randy Neumann said that he has never seen this sort of request in his 18 years serving as a commissioner. He said that the county board always had the right to add conditions to a plat.
“Did the applicant go to the township and discuss the road with them?” questioned Neumann.
He further stated that in 1953 a similar situation occurred and the applicant did put in a cul-de-sac because it was requested. . .
