Present were Chairman Schneider, Supervisors Christenson, Holasek, Engineer Roger Anderson of Toltz, King, Duvall and Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Art Stenquist and residents of the Stenquist Addition. Chairman Schneider called the meeting to order at 7:45 p.m., and immediately covered the first agenda item, acceptance of Stenquist roads. Chairman Schneider read the recommendation of TKDA, commission number 6223-74, which recommended acceptance. Chairman Schneider asked for comments from residents. The residents who responded were: Mr. and Mrs. Bill Bush and Mr. and Mrs. Phil Fitterer. Discussion continued with Chairman Schneider asking Mr. Stenquist if he would re-seed the ditch banks, if seed did not take this Fall. Mr. Stenquist stated he would. Chairman Schneider would like the above comments included in the minutes. The letter of recommendation by Toltz, King, Duvall and Anderson will be permanently attached to these minutes as Item I. Chairman Schneider entertained a motion; Supervisor Holasek made a motion to accept the Stenquist roads on the recommendation of Dewey Kasma of TKDA, provided that Mr. Stenquist pay $300 9f the Engineering fees to the Township and that the deeds for the roads be signed ~y the Stenquist's; second by Supervisor Christenson; carried unanimously. The Clerk shall transfer the deeds to Attorney Hawkins for scrutiny. Bill Hart of St. Patrick's Catholic Church appeared before the Board to request a permit for the church to hold a bingo ga~~ý:~ 25th or 26th of November. Chairman Schneider noted he has checked with the 0 procedure. The Township can mOve to stop this type of game, or by not making a resolution on the game, allow the church to hold it. Mr. Hart noted the game was a trial run to see if there is any interest in this area. The Board agreed there would be no objection for this on time game. The Board noted if the church was to hold more bingo games, another appearance would be necessary to show interest. Next agenda item was raising of the tax levy. No action taken at this time. Next item covered was discussion on the proposed amended Ordinance #12, which would be Ordinance Il2-A. Supervisor ßolasek after discussing the matter with Chairman Schneider had Attorney Hawkins draft this model Ordinance. Supervisor Christenson was out of Town at the time. Supervisor Holasek felt this Ordinance would control the use of shotguns, which are not covered adequately in Ordinance 112. He would like this Ordinance implemented tonight. Planning and Zoning Member Dave Jack and Planning and Zoning Chairman Al Miles are quite concerned that this matter will be posted in the Local Paper as a Planning and Zoning agenda item on the 29th of October and feel the Planning and Zoning Commission Can draft an adequate Ordinance at this time. Members of the audience who commented were asked for by Chairman Schneider. Fay Barnes noted all our Ordinances could use enforcement; Tom Mattson noted that we must face the problem of safety of people and stated use of any firearms should be banned. Priorities Meeting October 23, 1974 Page 2 Lyle Bradley noted that we should not go from one extreme to another and that the ban on bow and arrow would not be fair to the youth of the community; Bill Bush felt that shotguns would be okay on ten or more acres, but not twenty-two's; Frank Schoonover, an expert on guns noted that any firearms used, requires good common "horse sense". He also pointed out a large influx on non-residents with firearms on weekends; Building Inspector Arntzen, our Ordinance enforcement Official noted he could spend eight hours a day chasing shooters, but that his main job of building inspecting r~quires time also. Chairman Schneider called for last comments. Dave Jack reiterated that the Planning and Zoning roust be given a chance to develop a workable Ordinance. No action taken. Supervisor Christenson had a previous appointment and left at ·j;åh timt.. <0// I ofJ'.d"Jt.'. Chairman Schneider called Jim Orr of Shoell and Madson Inc. Jim, an Engineer for this Firm did a Feasibility Study on the road problems in Klenk's Addition, Valley View Estates. The Board WaS concerned with the total bill of $2,234.50 and would like Mr. Orr to explain how these charges were derived. Mr. Orr proceeded to explain and referenced to, " A GUide for Engagement of Engineering Services " throughout his explanation. Supervisor Holasek and Chairman Schneider questioned Mr. Orr extensively. In ending Mr. Orr noted that the entire bill is owed and pointed out that he was requested to do this Feasibility Study, in writing signed by Road Overseer Wally Arntzen. Supervisor Holasek stated that this bill was out of line and would not recommend payment of these charges. This item was tabled. No action taken. Building Inspector Arntzen noted that while he was on vacation, the Board Chairman and Clerk signed licenses for the junkyards when they have not been inspected. He also noted that is§uing of permits requires a motion and vote under Ordinance #9 and this was not done. Chairman Schneider made a motion stating that all junkyard's that have received licenses, that do not comply with Ordinance #9 within reasonable time established by the Attorney, shall be revoked; second by Supervisor Holasek; carried. Road Overseer Arntzen asked the Board for permission to have the second two-way radio installed in Burton Kraable's snOw plow truck. Supervisor Holasek made a motion to have this radio installed to provide the residents with more efficient service in snow removal and to better provide service in case of emergency and that it be installed so that it can be removed easily; second by Chairman Schneider; carried. Next agenda item discussed was the LHT road problems on 167th and l68th. Roger Anderson of TKDA read the Engineering recommendation in full. This report, commission number 6223-74 will be attached permanently to these set of minutes as Item II. After thirty-five minutes of discussion it was decided that TKDA will talk with Attorney Hawkins on the status of the present bond held by the Township in relation to a new roàd project. After further discussion on widths and depths of class five to be used, Chairman Schneider noted a compromise is needed to clear up this matter. Supervisor Holasek agreed. Priorities Meeting October 23, 1974 Page J Supervisor Holasek made a motion to accept the recommended procedures laid down by TKDA to make roads acceptable in as stated in commission number 6223-74 and that no building permits shall be issued until roads are accepted by the Township or a bond of 150% of $7800, or $11,700 is posted; second by Chairman Schneider; carried. Next Engineering item presented by Roger Anderson was the bill to repair the bridge on Prairie Road. Mr. Anderson read parts of commission number 6222-74 which will be attached permanently to these minutes as Item III. The Board previously rejected the idea of spending $2500 to fix this bridge. The new bid, a compromise will cost $890. Supervisor Holasek made a motion to accept the low and only bid of Northern Contracting to repair the bridge on the recommendation of the Engineer; second by Chairman Schneider; carried. Some discussion on if bond is required on this job. Roger Anderson will have Attorney Hawkins correspond with the Board on this matter. Mr. Anderson noted that the section of Aztec in Valley View Estates has been blacktopped and that Burton Kraabel is preparing the baeltðlul'B .~ O¿I/#-aJ. Building Inspector Arntzen stated to the Board that the Assessor Mr. Triggs was not meeting the requirements of the contract he bid on and noted this Township has received complaints on Mr. Triggs assessing. The Board felt these types of charges shall need verification before Mr. Triggs can be confronted with them. It was decided to sign checks on October 31, 1974. Supervisor Holasek made a motion to adjourn; second by Chairman Schneider; Meeting was adjourned at 11:10 p.m. J&tt~J~ , / TEDA Tom, KING, DUVALL, ANDERSON AND ASSOCIATES INCORPORATED E:NGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS ~'(/~ 14 OS PION E E,R B U I L 0 I N G SAINT PAUl., MINNESOTA \ 1 55101 224-7691 OWEN J.

STEFFES 167th Lane and l68th Lane WALTER w. THORPE JAMES E. VOYEN Commission No. 6223-74 NATHAN F. WEBER GEORGE J. SCHROEPFER Gentlemen: We are writing to report on construction required by the L. H. &: T Investment Company to bring 167th Lane and 168th Lane from Røund Lake Boulevard to the cul-cJe-sac's up to Township Standards so they can be accepted as Township Roads. See attached Figure No. 1 for a plan layout of the streets. On October 17, 1974, Mr. Richard Schneider and I made a field inspection of the existing streets condition. On October 18, 1974, ·our field survey crew made an elevation check of the street grade on 168th Lane at Round Lake Boulevard and a hand augering on 167th Lane in the area where peat was excavated for tile street construction. Based on that field inspection, we ha ve prepared this report which will include a list of required construction, prelim- inary cost estimates and recommendations for action by the Town Board. PREVIOUS STREET STANDARDS We understand that these streets were constructed prior to the revised zoning and street standards adopted in February. 1972. The standards prior to those adopted in February, 1972 were (1) culverts installed to provide ditch drainage, (2) shaping of roadway and placing topsoil for finished roadway section including driving surface and ditch areas, and (3) dedication of 66 foot right-of-way for straight streets and 120 foot diameter right-of-way for cuJ-de-sacs. HonoraQle Chairman and Town Board October 22, 1974 Page No. 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing condition of l67th Lane and 168th Lane is as follows: 167th Lane - Round Lake Boulevard to Cul-de-sac, We augered two (2) holes six feet deep at the low area on l67th Lane to check the peat removal during the street ,construction. One test hole was 750 feet east of centerline of Round Lake Boulevard at a poir¡t lO feet south of centerline and six (6) feet deep. The second test hole was 800 feet east of centerline of Round Lake Boulevard at a point 10 feet south of centerline and six (6) feet deep. Both test holes showed no layer of peat; SO the peak had been removed by the street contractor. The existing street surfacing is approximately 20 feet wide and con- sists of topsoil material and spot areas of gravel. There is no cul-de- sac constructed on the east end of the street. The existing storm drainage is provided by a culvert at the low point draining the area from the north to the south. The existing ditches are generally acceptable in their present condition. 168th Lane - Round Lake Boulevard to Cul-de-sac. We checked the street elevation at the intersection of l68th Lane and Round Lake Boulevard to determine the necessary construction to pro- vide the proper grade on l68th Lane at the intersection, At the present time the street grade at the intersection is 4.2 percent. The maximum design grade for the first 50 feet on 168th Lane should be 2.0 percent. This 2.0 percent design grade for 50 feet provides for (l) two cars to corne to a stop at the intersection an,d then to start again easily in icy conditions and (2) proper sight distance along Round Lake Boulevard. The existing street surfacing is approximately 20 feet wide and con- sists of topsoil material. There is no cul-de-sac constructed at the east end of the street. The existing storm drainage is provided by ditches along the street. There appears to be no serious drainage problems along the street. t ",..j. ,," ~.~ Honorable Chairman and Town Board October 22, 1974 Page No. 3 REQUIRED ACTION BY DEVELOPER We have listed the necessary street construction and action required by the developer in the attached specification. We would be happy to meet with the developer on the site to review the project requirements. PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATES We have prepared preliminal"Y cost estimates for the complete construction of l67th Lane and l68th Lane which will meet the previous Township Standards. The preliminary cost estimate includes providing Class 5 gravel base for stabilization on approximately two-thirds of the required 24 foot driving sur~ face and on the entire cul.de-sacs. The exact amount of Class 5 gravel base or topsoil surfacing can only be determined after the streets have been graded to the proper widths at which time we can evaluate the adequacy of the existing street surface. The preliminary cost estimate also provides for the necessary filling and regrading of the first 150 feet of 168th Lane from Round Lake Boulevard to the east. The other items included in the preliminary cost estimate are shaping of the street, topsoil in ditch areas and roadside seeding. The preliminary cost estimate for the above described work including 100/0 contingencies and l50/0 engineering. legal and administrative cost is $5.300. If the street surfacing is such that the Clas s 5 gravel had to be plac ed over the entire width the preliminary cost would be increased by $2, 500. RECOMMENDA TION We recommend the Town Board require the L. H. & T Investment Co. to do the necessary work on the streets in accordance with the specifications attached to this letter prior to acceptance of the street by the Town Board. Honorable Chairman and Town Board October 22, 1974 Page No. 4 I will send this letter report to the Town Board so it can be reviewed at the October 23, 1974 meeting. I will be happy to meet with the Town Board or the L. H. & T.Investment Co. to further discuss the situation.
