man, Floyd Roden and Douglas

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

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

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.
Norm Freske made a Motion to deny the Sheriff's
Association Tickets. Doug Lindenfelser Seconded, motion
carried unanimously.
Doug Lindenfelser motioned to table the Wire Contract
until next Town Board Meeting. Norm Freske Seconded, Motion
carried unanimously.
