UTILIZING EXPERIENCE TO MANAGE A COMPLEX DISTRICT
UTILIZING EXPERIENCE TO MANAGE A COMPLEX DISTRICT
I want to utilize my 30 years of experience in property management and appraising real estate placing an emphasis on helping Pennington County residents who live in District #1. I feel it is the most challenging of the 5 districts relative to the mass area covered and the diversity of landscape. There are issues including mining, national forest, the impact of vacation home rentals, increased ATV traffic, and county roads and bridges. Also, the cutback on timber harvest in the Black Hills National Forest, closing a local sawmill, funding and supporting our local volunteer fire departments, water in general, septic systems, zoning ordinances, forest fires, bark beetle, and vacating section lines. Having served as the president and manager of Blue Wing Recreation for the past 30 years, I have worked directly with county officials working on zoning issues relative to setbacks, variances, amendments to our planned unit development, violations, road district, relocating section lines, and obtaining building permits.
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN FOREST SERVICE AND OUR COMMUNITY
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN FOREST SERVICE AND OUR COMMUNITY
I’m a South Dakota Certified Water Operator managing our water system and submitting monthly water samples to the state. Having this experience helps me deal with others on water issues such as wells, dams, ponds, storage tanks, fire suppression, and so on. As the manager of Blue Wing, I handle all dealings with the Forest Service and Special Use Permits for ingress and egress to our development and maintaining three miles of gravel road from Highway 385 to our 70-acre seasonal development. This experience is beneficial when dealing with folks that have issues involving the county and Forest Service. For every real property I appraise, I address property rights. My 30 years of experience guides me when dealing with property assessments, zoning issues, vacating or relocating section lines, property setbacks, variances, acquisitions, disposals, rents, condemnations, future land use, highest and best use, contamination, etc. I want to share my experience and use it to my fullest ability to serve the taxpayers of Pennington County.
