Town of Otsego Chairman; Douglas Lindenfelser and Norman Freske,
Supervisors; Lewis Pouliot, Treasurer; Lani Will,

Don Goth appeared concerning a water problem on 78th Street and
O'Brian Avenue which deadends by his lot. He would like to ditch on
the other side of the road. The Town Board will go out and view the
drainage problem before making a decision.
Richard Hartfield appeared to complain about dogs running and
doing damage in his neighborhood, 88th Street. The Board advised him
to contact the Otsego Dog Catcher, Charles Axelson to see if he could
pick up the dogs causing the problems.
James Gerads appeared to say he had been charged for 2 lots for
fire protection and he had only one lot. He bought 45 feet from his
neighbor and the 45 feet has a separate description. The Board advised
him that the 45 feet would not be a buildable lot by itself and the
two should be considered one lot.
Blanche Barsody appeared to say that she had been charged for 2
lots for fire protection. She owns three of the small Otsego Townsite
lots but because of the big ditch that runs through it there is only
one buildable site. The Board advised her they would check on the area.
Bernard and Donna Valerius appeared to request approval of a
property division. Each one is to have 55 acres of the farm. The
Board requested them to appear before the Otsego Planning Commission
on April 4, 1985 for their consideration.

farms join the the NW quarter of Section 27 Range 23. There are sev-
eral housing developments near them and they seemed to think that
