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.

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 STATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF WRIGHT - PAGE 2 - TOWN OF OTSEGO TOWN BOARD MEETING, AUGUST 7, 1989 TOWN OF OTSEGO their lot.
