Asked if he should read the memo. Strand stated we all should have read it by now. Are there current or proposed use concerns? Bodine answered that the Forestry Department will work with the Town of Bell when decisions are made. Not there yet. First step is to rezone. Once he has something to share he is dedicated to working with the Town on decisions and will reach out. Schierman noted that on Monday it was found that the highlighted area (see exhibit B) is now added to the parcel map. It is and always has been owned by the County, but it just was not showing up on the parcel map. The meets and bounds are accurate. Bodine stated this was found when they were trying to establish the right of ways. Susan Keachie, adjacent property owner, spoke in support. The future Land Use Plan for the Town of Bell includes growth and preservation. She was on the Town Comprehensive Plan Commission and resigned because she felt they lost sight of what the view and purpose of the plan is. The Swenson preserve will allow preservation, and community growth. Allen Hahn spoke in support and encourages the Committee to approve this rezone. Discussion ended. 8.
