BAXTER-The Baxter City Council accepted a Jack Pine Brewery development agreement Tuesday.
The Jack Pine Brewery project is slated for 15593 Edgewood Drive on undeveloped property. The development agreement is a standard practice. With it the development includes installation of city water and private sanitary sewer lines and will provide a 100-year storm water design, private paved parking surface and other improvements, such as landscaping.
Nor-Son is the builder for the project, which is moving Jack Pine Brewery from the Baxter Industrial Park on College Road to land by Book World.
In other business, the council:
Approved a conditional use permit to fill and grade on property on White Sand Lake off Kenwood Court. The permit allows 60 cubic yards of black dirt fill on the property on exposed sand. The intent is to prevent erosion in the quickest time possible. A previous property owner removed trees and expanded the sand beach. The fill will be used to re-establish grass. The city's planning commission recommended approval.
