Norman Freske, Chair- man, Floyd Roden and Douglas Lindenfelser, Supervisors, James Barthel, Treasurer and Elaine Beatty, Deputy Clerk. Jerome Perrault, Clerk was ill so the Deputy Clerk stood in for him. The Meeting was called to order by Chairman Norman Freske. Minutes of the March 16, 1989 Town Board Meeting were approved as read. Ing Roskaft appeared before the Board and presented a check in the amount of $100.00 from he and his wife, to be used for the upgrading of the Otsego Cemetery. Chris Bame of Lot 1, Block 7 Island View Estates, 10500 Kadler Avenue appeared before the Board to ask about getting a rebate on the Kadler Avenue Street Assessment he had paid on this lot that he stated is unbuildable. He had talked to Tom Salkowski and Craig Schultz of Wright Co. Planning and Zoning Office. The Assessment was $2,000.00. He stated that the County Assessor, Doug Gruber told him the lot would have to be reassessed. Attorney Bill Radzwill stated if we give back the assessment amount it would have to come out of the General Fund. Chris Bame said the Pavement comes up only 1/3 of the way on the lot. Bill Radzwill told him he is paying for access to the lot. Chris Bame was informed by Floyd Roden to check dates of Assessment and purchase of lot. Also to check with Title Insurance. Bill Radzwill stated the appeal should have come before the final assessment. Motion by Floyd Roden to have Chris Bame get further information. Douglas Lindenfelser Seconded the motion, Motion Carried Unanimously. Ed Stieg of Ed's Fence, who was on the Agenda did not appear. Dennis Taylor, of Taylor Land Surveyors, Jerry Smith Developer, Trig Holl, Clem and John Darkenwald appeared before the board to try and inter -connect the roads in the three pending developments. Township Attorney, Bill Radzwill and Township Engineer Larry Koshak, and a group of concerned citizens from 96TH Street also appeared. Jerry Smith stated he had talked to the Township Engineer and basically they have the same plan as before as they have to work with a power line easement and are trying to fit 96TH Street in and would loose 7 or 8 lots if they changed the layout. Ken Barthel of Barthel Realty is a sub- stantial investor in this project Gerald Smith announced. Douglas Lindenfelser stated they could run 92ND Street through. Loren Stasson, a resident of 15016 NE 96TH Street stated Packard gets very little use. Dennis Taylor stated that the Township and the County said they have to run 96TH Street through. The residents of State of Minnesota County of Wright Town of Otsego Town Board Minutes April 3, 1989 - Page 2 - Loren Stasson stated he would like to see 96TH ST. not go through. Clem Darkenwald wanted to know how the drainage worked. Dennis Taylor stated they had not changed the drainage. Larry Koshak, Township Engineer, took copies of all three plats and put them together. He stated 96TH Street going through probably would not be in the best interest of everyone involved. Larry suggested deleting the cul -du -sac and bringing 96TH ST. into Ogren. Doug, Floyd and Norm all stated they think 96TH ST. should not come out on to Co. #39. Larry koshak stated there is a possibility of going with one entrance only. Bill Radzwill stated we have to balance the needs of the residents, emergency vehicles, and the development. Dennis Taylor stated that Smith would loose 4 or 5 lots with this layout. Clem Darkenwald stated they had originally wanted one access in and out, extra wide. He didn't think it was right to have two more roads coming in. John Darkenwald said their layout has no cul -du -sacs and he thinks it's a plus - good planning. Larry Koshak stated Darkenwald had not done a drainage plan yet and there may be a necessity to consider overall drainage for all three plats. Floyd Roden stated that before we agree on drainage, a street plan needs to be agreed upon. Dennis Taylor stated Smith's plat is designed the way the County wants it and says they won't approve the new proposed streets by Larry Koshak. Norm Freske suggested that we have a Spe4ial Meeting with everyone and get this street problem resolved. Floyd Roden suggested we get together April 4, 1989 at 12:30 P.M. at the Town Hall. Meeting was set. Douglas Lindenfelser motioned that we make this decision at the next Board Meeting of April 17, 1989, Norm Freske Seconded, Floyd Roden Agreed. Shirley Madland of 8332 Needham Ave. N.E., Elk River, Lot 28, Block 2, Vasseur's 3RD Add. Sec.20, Twp.121, R.23, appeared before the Board with pictures of the high water in the area to discuss the flooding problems. Larry Koshak stated that the portion that is flooded is the portion that is not on the Hall's Water Project Assessment, and they can ditch it to the West and North themselves, or they can petition the Town Board for an Improvement and the Board can take independent action. The Town Board would order the Engineer to prepare a Feasibility study and this project should be under $10,000.00. An Assessment Hearing would be held and the property would be State of Minnesota County of Wright Town of Otsego Town Board Minutes April 3, 1989 - Page 3 - Bill Radzwill stated that the people would have to pay for this drainage one way or the other and it costs governments money for this. Bill said if they get figures to do the project themselves, they would have to double the figures if the Town Board had the work done. Douglas Lindenfelser suggested Jack Schmidt of Monticello does this kind of work. John Clasen of Lot 10, Block 2, Vasseurs 2nd Addition was in attendance at the Meeting and the Board informed him he should get his garage finished this Summer. John Clasen stated he had a problem in the ditch where Minnegasco was working Iasi Summer. The Board informed that they would resume work when the weather permits this Spring and would probably fix it. If not, let them know. Norm Freske asked Bill Radzwill about a meeting with the League of Cities. Bill thought we should meet with them and the Town Board set a tenative meeting for Friday, the 7th of April at 1:00. Bill will check with them and get back to the Board. Bob Madland, husband of Shirley who appeared earlier, appeared late and wanted to know about the water problems. He was informed as to what had transpired. The Town Board questioned Bill Radzwill and Larry Koshak as to how their billing is done, to clarify it for the Board. Larry Koshak and Bill Radzwill stated that when a developer comes in with a preliminary plat the fee is charged back to the Developer in a lot of Towns and Cities.
