These regulations are in effect year-round and are in addition to winter parking and snow emergency parking restrictions. On-street parking is limited to licensed passenger vehicles only for a duration not to exceed 18 hours. Trucks, semi-tractor/ trailers, recreational vehicles and equipment, commercial vehicles with a Class-4 rating or higher, and vehicles longer than 25 feet in length are not allowed to be parked on City streets unless providing a service to the adjacent property. Also, trailers cannot be parked on City streets unless connected to a tow vehicle. Vehicles that are parked on City streets must comply with the following location requirements: • Vehicles must be parked within 5 feet and not more than 10 feet from the curb or edge of a street. • Vehicles must be parked so as to be parallel to the curb or edge of street, unless legally designated. • Vehicles are not to be parked on or obstruct a sidewalk, trail, or crosswalk. • Parking setbacks along the street include not being closer than: – 20 feet of an intersection – 10 feet from a fire hydrant – 10 feet from a mailbox – 5 feet from a driveway on the same side of the street The City Council may designate no parking zones on specific streets that regulate parking in addition to these general standards that are designated by signs. The complete text of the regulations for on-street parking are set forth in Title 7, Chapter 2 of the City Code. The City Code is available for viewing on the City’s website. Your cooperation in following these on-street parking regulations will help maintain Otsego’s street for the safe travel of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians and allow unimpeded access for emergency and service vehicles. DOGS Dogs are required by the City Code to be kept within the boundaries of their owners’ property or otherwise leashed or controlled by electronic device by a responsible person the same as if the dog is leashed. Owners must pick up and dispose of waste from yards and City parks and trails or otherwise be subject to enforcement of nuisance violations. To report a dog running at large; barking dog that is disturbing the peace; or a dangerous dog, please call the Wright County Sheriff by dialing 911. STREET MAINTENANCE The City has established a pavement management program that includes ongoing preventive maintenance such as crack filling, seal coating and overlays to provide for safe travel and extend the usable life for City streets. These maintenance activities are funded each year through general property taxes. Information regarding the location and schedule for street maintenance this season will be posted on the City’s website. biotanicaCBDstore.com • 9125 Quaday Ave NE, Ste 107, Otsego 10% OFF YOUR PURCHASE WITH THIS COUPON Not valid with any other coupons or specials.

By following these techniques your lawn will look great and will not be harming nearby wetlands, streams, lakes or rivers. • Leaving grass clippings on the lawn provides the equivalent of one application of fertilizer per year. • Sweeping lawn clippings from sidewalks, driveways and streets will greatly reduce the amount of phosphorus that reaches area water bodies. • Maintain a 20 foot buffer of native plantings from any wetland or stormwater basins to filter out nutrients that cause algae and water plant growth – these plants will also keep geese from your yard. • Water lawns between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. to reduce evaporation and minimize the potential for diseases to harm your lawn. • Wash your car on the lawn using non-phosphorus soap to keep water out of the storm drain and irrigate the grass at the same time. • Use pesticides and herbicides only to the extent necessary and by following the label directions exactly. • Compost containers must comply with City Code requirements and be set back from water or drainage ways to avoid leaching phosphorus directly into the water. • It is illegal to dispose of yard and tree waste with household garbage – contact your waste hauler for a yard bin or visit the City’s website for information on compost sites. WHY ARE THESE COLORED FLAGS IN MY YARD? If you have ever asked yourself that, the answer is simple. These flags (or paint) are indicators of located underground utilities. Minnesota state statute requires anyone who will be digging underground to contact Gopher State One Call (GSOC) at least 48 hours in advance of doing so. GSOC is the on-call notification system that acts as a communication link between underground facility operators, homeowners, and excavators in the State of Minnesota. Paint or flag color indicator When a notification or ticket is received, GSOC contacts the local utility companies and asks them to mark any underground utilities in a given area. As indicated on the accompanying chart, each utility type has a color assigned to it. If you have hired a contractor for landscaping, driveway work, or underground digging, they are required to contact Gopher State One Call. If you are planning on digging yourself, you are also required to do so at least 48 hours in advance. The number to call is easy – 811 or make your request online at GSOCsubmit.org Gopher State One Call’s website (gopherstateonecall.org) has a lot of helpful information, including a way to look up ticket requests by city, street or date.

Richard Lefebvre’s apartment overlooks the Mississippi River and overlooks the land that Richard and his family owned and still own. On the other side of the building lives his cousin, Eddie Lefebvre. From his apartment, Eddie can see the round barn and the property where he formerly lived and is now owned by his son, Kevin. The Lefebvres are an integral part of the history of Otsego, both old and new. The Lefebvre name in Otsego started with Ferdinand Lefebvre who immigrated from Canada to this area in 1875. He married Zerilla Bourgeois, the oldest daughter of an Otsego farmer (who immigrated from Canada in 1844) and his wife. They only had daughters and needed help to work their farm. Ferdinand and Zerilla had several children and these descendants have added much to our community. Most residents know about the round barn which is on the property opposite the Target store to the west. This land is the original home of Ferdinand and Zerilla Lefebvre. About 1915, Ferdinand had the round barn built by his sons, Johnny, Joe and Noel, with the help of some carpenters from Dayton. Noel’s son, Eddie Lefebvre, explained that the shape was very efficient for tending cattle. Hay was stored on the upper floor and it could be thrown down to the cattle whose heads were facing the middle. There was a corridor behind the cows around the circle of the barn. Manure could be shoveled through vents around the floor to a waiting wagon to be taken to the fields for fertilizer. The original barn was red and made of wood. It was refurbished by Eddie’s brother, John Lefebvre, to metal and painted white. Also, the barn was reroofed in the late 1960s or early 1970s. According to Wikipedia, round barn building peaked between 1880-1920. However, George Washington built a 16-sided threshing barn that he designed himself in 1792 at Dogue Run Farm in Virginia. The Shakers built the first known round barn in Massachusetts in 1826. In 1918, Sears and Roebuck offered a kit for an octagonal barn for $1627. Kevin Lefebvre and his wife Benita have lived at the round barn property since 1997 and the barn is now in their care. His great grandparents were Ferdinand and Zerilla. Noel Lefebvre’s youngest son never married and continued to farm the original land. When he died, the land was passed onto Eddie’s son, Kevin.

This summer, the city will be unveiling the newest addition to its park system, Norin Landing. Situated in the northwest section of Otsego, the three- acre park will feature a boat landing, parking, fishing opportunities along the shore, and a gazebo with a scenic overlook of the Mississippi River. Just off the shore are three rustic island campsites and the Mississippi River Islands Scientific and Natural Area (SNA). Each park in Otsego has a historically significant name, and Norin Landing is no exception. Norin Landing Park was named after Elaine Melin Norin (1917-2003), a notable Otsego historian and prolific writer. She lived with her grandparents, Albert and Justina Melin, in a home that still stands at the corner of Kadler Avenue NE and County Road 39. Albert and Justina purchased the land in 1898 for $10 per acre from the Netherlands American Land Company when they immigrated from Sweden. Norin Landing Park sits on what was once Elaine’s farm. Plans for the park began in 2005 with the goal to provide safe, open, and attractive facilities for recreation and encourage people to enjoy the natural beauty surrounding our community. Otsego received a $150,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for its construction. The city is hosting a grand opening celebration with a ribbon cutting ceremony, games, and free food on July 16 from 6-7 p.m. The public is welcome to attend.

The posted detour route will utilize Quam Avenue, CSAH 39, and Odean Avenue. The roadway will be open to local traffic but depending on construction activities, access may not always be open from each direction. The contractor (Fehn Companies, Albertville MN) should be coordinating and communicating with residents, schools and the City. Construction operations during the 2019 season will include work such as installation of storm sewer, curb and gutter, turn lanes, shoulders, stormwater retention ponds and correction of poor subgrades. It is planned for a September 2019 completion date. Part of the work will include the installation of a traffic signal at Quaday Avenue NE. Many privately-owned utility changes will be taking place throughout the project. Buried cables along with overhead lines must be relocated within the new highway right-of-way limits. This work will be performed by the individual private utility companies or crews they hire directly.   The Wright County Highway Department greatly appreciates your patience during construction on this important improvement project. Questions or comments regarding this project can be directed to the Wright County Highway Department at 763-682-7383 (ask for the Highway Department).
