Grant County approves Fisher Sand & Gravel special-use permit, requires Road Use Agreement

The Grant County Board of Commissioners on May 1 approved a Special Conditional Use Permit for Fisher Sand & Gravel for the 2024 season, contingent on the company submitting and the county approving a Road Use Agreement. The permit passed on a unanimous roll-call vote after company representatives requested changes to the proposed agreement.

Representatives Vent Wallace and Dalton Wolf of Fisher Sand & Gravel, joined by Blake Haakenson of Rock Solid Express, appeared before the board to request a revision to the county’s proposed Road Use Agreement. The record notes the applicants asked the county to consider changes but does not include the specific language requested. Commissioner Marty Meyer moved to approve the special-use permit; Commissioner Al Roy Hochhalter seconded the motion, and Chairman Alton Zenker recorded all ayes.

The board recorded the Special Conditional Use Permit approval as conditional: the permit is contingent upon Fisher Sand & Gravel submitting the Road Use Agreement and the county approving it. The transcript does not record a timeline for submission or a vote specifying the terms of the agreement.

Next steps recorded in the minutes: Fisher Sand & Gravel must file the Road Use Agreement with the county. The permit approval does not take effect until the county completes its review and approves that agreement.
