of his lot instead of 30 feet as required by the Wright County ordin-
ance. He said the person on the lot next to his has no objection to

Dennis Cahill to change the side yard setback to 15 feet. Seconded

Charles Christian appeared with his final plat of Deerfield
Acres Outlot A. The plan calls for 21 lots with the home site, septic
system and well locations for each lot marked on the plan. The plat
has one street through it, 78th Street coming in on the west side and
curves to connect with Ohland Avenue. The development will now be
known as Hidden Valley.
Motion by Floyd Roden to approve the final plat of Hidden Valley
(formerly Deerfield Acres Outlot A). Seconded by William Schulz,

A group of Otsego Acres residents appeared to request an explan-
ation of the per-unit plan for fire protection. The Board explained
that this system wouldreplace the present system of the Township
paying standby contract fees and run charges to the fire department
serving the Township. Each home owner and farm owner would be charged
a yearly fee, approximately $20.00, which would be paid to the fire
department he wishes to obtain fire service from. This would be the
only charge, there would be no other charge even if he had to call
the fire department for service. Fire Board would be set up consist-
ing of one lected offical and one appointed member from each munici-
pality served by the fire department to determine the operating budget
of the fire department and how much the per-unit charge would need to
be to operate the fire department. The appointed members would have
voting rights, the elected officals would serve in an advisory
capacity.
Elmer Sachs also inquired about what had been done about the lot
next to his that is full of tires and other junk. Lani Will said
the complaint had been sent to the County Zoning Administrator. The
Board requested Lani Will to contact the Anoka Tire Service who has
the tires on the lot and request him to appear at a Board Meeting to
explain what he is doing with the tires and to advise him that he
does not have a driveway and is using an illegal approach to County
Road #37.

Mr. Eide said he recognized the fact that it would be better
to build the road straight to County Road #37 but it would be
dterimental to his tree growing business. He agreed to meet
with the Board at the proposed road site to discuss it further
with them.

of Ochoa Avenue from County 39 service road to 91st street.
