JULY AGENDA MEETING MINUTES

JULY 7, 2009

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chairman Jeff Bachke. Present for the meeting were chairman Bachke, supervisors Greg Andrews and John Werner; clerk Patti Alander and deputy clerk Cammy Hansen; Treasurer Holly Herstad and resident Cory Stafne.

Cory Stafne, 4420 Martin Road: Cory addressed the Board regarding the possible division of property that he owns on the Kingston/Stavanger/ Luzerne Roads. He owns 15.29 acres and wanted to check with the town regarding road frontage requirements for potential buyers who may want to build a home. He wants to be sure that driveway access will not be a problem; he wants two of the parcels to be able to be accessed by the same driveway. The board discussed the matter and determined that two parcels accessed by one driveway are not an issue; only if a third parcel was accessed would it become an issue. The board made it clear to Mr. Stafne that the driveway, placed where he is proposing, would be in the Town’s Right of Way, as it is on the Quarter Section line, but would not be maintained by the Township. Greg also told Cory to check with the fire department to see what their requirements may be regarding a turn- around for emergency vehicles. In conclusion, the board decided there would be no problems as long the driveway remains in the Town’s Right of Way. The legal descriptions on the proposed parcels will be required to include the Town’s Right of Way. John also strongly encouraged an official survey is completed.

Jeff asked about the discussions between the Town and USA. Patti said that she has heard nothing new. A punch list was sent by Jerome and asked for an additional $11,000.00 because the date of the contract was not met. Joe Mihalek at the Fryberger Office will be handling the arbitration.

Jeff reminded the Board of the public hearing scheduled for tomorrow, July 8, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. We have been notified that the property owner will not be present.

John asked the status of the Lift Station #1 bid. The contract has been sent to RJS.

Patti stated that there are two Eagle Scout projects which will be presented for consideration at the Board meeting. One is a proposal to refurbish the Town’s historical signs. The other may be related to the trails in the park, but that has not been confirmed.

Another item for the Board meeting agenda is nuisance dogs.

The Town’s refrigerator is not freezing well; we may need to replace it.

There are additional expenses of $1,500.00 to complete the power for the sprinkler lines in the park. Patti will get more details.

Greg mentioned that Gary needs to purchase more garbage cans for the park. If he needs to, go ahead and chain them to the fence.

John asked Patti to check with Gnesen to see if we can use their brush mower the last week in July.

Greg said he spoke with Gary and let him know which roads must have a smaller truck for the chloride application.

Having nothing further to discuss the meeting was adjourned.
