Minutes of the July 17, 1989, Town Board Meeting were
approved as read.
John Holland presented the Board with a petition
containing 16 signatures (of a possible 20 property owners)
requesting that Packard Ave. be bituminous surfaced from 70th
Street to 60th Street. He said he feels the road is 85%
traveled by people not living on the road and he was hopeful
the Town Board would consider this when determining the
assessment for the road.
Engineer Larry Koshak said that the feasibility study
done on this road in 1987 determined that the estimated
project cost would be $104,000.
John Holland asked if the cost split would be 406
assessed and 60% Township share. The Board said a lot of
factors enter in and it would be difficult to make a decision
at this time.
Motion by Floyd Roden to request Hakanson Anderson
Associates, Inc. to prepare u revised feasibibity study for
bituminous surfacing of Packard Ave. from 70th Street to
60th Street. Seconded by Norman Freske, all Board Members
voted in favor of the motion.
Keith Evenson (of 16506 70th St.) appeared in regard to
his mobile home that was supposed to be removed when his new
home was completed. He said that he thought he had the
mobile home sold but the deal fell through. He is still
hopeful he will be able to sell it and remove it.
Motion by Floyd Roden to grant Keith Evenson an
extension until May 1, 1990, to remove the mobile home.
Seconded by Douglas Lindenfelser, all Board Members voted in
favor of the motion.
James Holmes appeared before the Board regarding the
driveway access for the new Christ Lutheran Church. The
Church has originally planned for a driveway access on the
East edge of their lot but the County Highway Engineer has
recommended the driveway access be placed on the West side of
the lot because future plans for the Co. 39 include a center
median that would restrict traffic flow to one way from an
East side driveway. The Board discussed the possibility of
putting in a street at the West edge of their lot and also
putting in an acess street to Co. 42 across Mrs. Bayfield's
property but because they did know what Mrs. Bayfield's
future plans are for her property they decided to allow the
Church to proceed with a driveway access at the West edge of

connects 88th St. in James Addition to 88th St. in Halls
Addition and removes the Cul -De -Sac. It is also his
responsibility to maintain a proper grade when he makes the
connection.
In regard to the drainage easement on the Ford Slaughter
property for the Vasseur 3rd and 4th Addition Storm Drain
project, the Board has decided not to purchase his property
and will discontinue negotiating with him for the drainage
easement and will present this to the residents at the
