OLD BUSINESS-
Uniform Building Codes-Erv Limberg brought back for the Town of Riverview a Construction Deposit Agreement for new construction there would be a $1000 deposit, and $500 deposit for additions. Erv stated that our discussion was what the Town of Riverview wants to do to have money in escrow to guard against damages done to town property during construction activity by anyone in the township. The final decision was to recommend for the Town of Riverview that anyone applying for a building permit would have to deposit money in an escrow to cover damages to roads so that the town is covered for the expenses in repairing them. The Construction Deposit Agreement would be over and above what the building inspector does, he does is own inspection independent to the town. Once the certificate of occupancy is issued the town would go back and inspect to make sure there is no damage. If there are any damages done to town property and the cost of the repair is in excess of the construction deposit then the homeowner has 10 days to pay the difference. If the homeowner does not pay the difference it would be added to their tax bill under special assessments. Bob MacIntosh brought up where the accumulated escrow funds would go and was decided that this should also be a recommended to the town board. Recommendation is that the Construction Deposit Agreement be taken to the town board attorney for review and then the town board for approval. Also recommend that any accumulated escrow funds be put toward park and recreation or any other purpose the town see fits. Erv limberg moved for recommendation to the town board, Elsie Jensen seconded, motion carried.

Parks and Recreation recommendation to the 6 Town Boards at the April 14th meeting - Paal Hansen stated that the towns want to generate a list of all the area activities and promoting them in the newspaper and on the website. At the 6 town board meeting they wanted to come up with one source for information for example 'What's Up North" and Paal Hansen will be heading this up, every town said let's go with this. So every town will send Paal the information and he will publish this on the website, facebook, and newspaper. Paal is going to start this for now and see where it will end up. There will be a link on the Town of Riverview website for now and will decide later where it will end up. Paal Hansen stated that the Community Garden is started and Marilyn's Greenhouse is participating you buy two get one for the town.

NEW BUSINESS-
Revised Town Hall Plan - Bob MacIntosh brought the completed blueprints from Gries Architecture Group of the town's property. Bob MacIntosh would like a thank you sent to Steve Gries for drawing up the blueprintsmz. On the blueprints between island lake road and the salt shed there is still room to put something in. Erv Limberg mentioned maybe putting a helicopter landing pad. Paal Hansen thought they could do a community garden there also and put in a corn crop and possibly make it into a corn maze, use the corn at the annual corn roast. The planning commission discussed at great length of possibly making that spot a Trail Head area for hiking, biking, a forest trail, ATV's, snowmobiling, making into a picnic area with picnic tables, unloading/loading area, temporary restrooms, and signage. Paal Hansen stated that there is a grant available that we could utilize. Planning Commission recommendation to the town board that the town should use the area between the salt shed and island lake road as a trail head for hiking, biking, ATV, snowmobiles, national forest trail, and develop facilities for parking, make an unloading/loading area, temporary restroom facility, picnic area with tables, and possible signage.

ANY AND ALL OTHER BUSINESS -
Paal Hansen had a request that at the Annual Town meeting that the Planning Commissioners consider the whole town for a vote if there are problems with ATV's on open roads not just the people who have properties on the road where there are the problems this person feels that the ATV traffic effects everyone in the town. Planning Commission will establish the review dates for annual meeting with both ATV clubs and table this until then.
