85th St. from Page Ave. to CO. 42. He also said that 85th
St. is in the Township Road Plan as a Collector Street and
will be built to a 9 ton standard road design. It will be
necessary to relocate some Wright -Hennepin Electric poles and
one NSP pole that will be moved at NSP's expense. The

Estimated Total project cost $131,375
It is proposed to assess each of the 4 benefiting 40
acre parcels $16,422. This is assuming that the Township
will pay 50% of the cost which would be $65,688, The annual
unity cost for each of the four units would be $2,673 based
on 10 years @ 10% interest. Construction would start this
fall and be completed in the spring of 1991.
On the 87th Street project, 87th St. is proposed to be
constructed from Page Ave. Easterly about 1120 ft. with a 120
ft diameter Cul -De -Sac at the end. The street would have a
66 ft right -of -Way and be built according to Township
standards for a 9 ton road. The Cul -De -Sac would have a 45
ft. paved radius for a turnaround. The estimated costs of

Restoration & Seeding $ 3,000

Eddy Lefebvre said that Wright -Hennepin did not pay
anything for the easement when they put the poles in and, now
we are being asked to pay to have to poles moved.
Jerome Zachman said he thought every body would benefit
from having 85th St built as it is a section line road and a
thru street and the property owners were being assessed too
much.
The Lefebvre family indicated they did not want 85th St.
built from Co. 42 to Page Ave.
The Town Board replied that if 85th St. is not
constructed now the Developer could be required to build it
and pay 1006 of the cost. The Town Board also said that they
have already advised Wright County that while constructing
Co. 42 they should plan for River Road being vacated and to
plan for 85th St. entering Co. 42 Wright County is also
planning on constructing turn lanes on Co. 42 for 85th St.
Motion by Douglas Lindenfelser to continue the Public
Hearing on proposed construction of 85th St. from Page Ave.
to Co. 42 and of 87th St. on July 16, 1990 at 7:30 PM.
