State’s Attorney Wang explained the county zoning ordinance and the board reviewed a map showing the various zones defined in the York zoning ordinance. Dirkzwager stated his opposition to the school area being zoned residential. Olson questioned Dirkzwager on the amount of odor his bio-diesel plant will create. Dirkzwager explained the odor would be very minor. Silliman was questioned as to whether or not the operations and businesses currently in existence would be "grandfathered in" if York city was allowed to adopt all or a portion of the Benson County Zoning Ordinance. Silliman assured the board the operations and businesses would be "grandfathered in". Olson suggested the zoning board meet with the York Township board to get input on this issue and, if the York Township board agrees with the proposed ordinance, the zoning board would agree for York city to utilize its zoning ordinance.

Silliman explained that York city does not desire to adopt any animal feed operation ordinance at this time.

Gene Hager, road superintendent, met with the board. The board revisited the issue of allowing the Spirit Lake Nation to inventory township roads. State’s Attorney Wang will send a letter to the BIA to make sure Benson County and the Second Commissioner District will not lose any funding if the board signs the proposed Memorandum of Understanding.

Hager discussed haul road issues with the board. A letter received from the ND DOT dated July 13, 2006, on the abandonment of the old US 281, was reviewed by the board. Brown commented the roadway from Minnewaukan south to the boat ramp should be resurfaced, sealed and chipped prior to the county accepting it. Hager stated he will call the ND DOT and request a copy of the US 281 environmental document mentioned in the letter from the ND DOT. State’s Attorney Wang will write a response letter to the ND DOT stating Benson County will accept the following portions of the old US 281:

1. From the Clifford Johnson road south to the new US 281; 2. From Minnewaukan south to the boat ramp; and 3. From the Brinsmade county road north to US Hwy. #2, provided that the coulee bridge between the Brinsmade road and US Hwy
