Public Forum:

 

  • Kelsey Redland-Kladivo at 5492 Diamond Lane, Mountain Iron addressed the board concerning having a vinyl fence installed on her property. She was questioning whether vinyl and chain link are acceptable. She had prints of what she was considering. The commission told her there was no problem and that she has to apply for a building permit.
  • Dan Stanzell at 5453 Diamond Lane, Mountain Iron addressed the board about constructing a 16×24 shed on his property. Because of covenants in Unity Addition this in not allowed.

  • Three houses are being built in Woodland Estates. One has had final inspection, one is pending re-inspection and the third one is not completed yet.
