Meeting was aIled to order by Chairman Carlson at 7:45 p.m. Messrs. Bud edepenning and Cal Behr of the Anoka County Highway Department appeared bef re the Board regarding the agreement between Grow Township and the County p rtaining to Nightengale Street. Commissioner Ed Fields of the Anoka County Board also attended. They presented a sketch of ,:the proposed center line or the road. They would expect to build the road with their own grading quipment, but in .view of the expected fuel crisis'-construction may . , be delayed i case some of their heavy equipment would have to be idled to provide fuel for mor necessary vehicles. The right of wayi%uld rem<¥in the same on the west line for a 1 rge part of the roadway. Clearcutting òf trees Would be to the extent of minimal a ount to ditches. Generally clearing has been to 42' from center line. Whether or n t they have to do that remains to be seen. In front of the homes trees will b left as far out as possible without creating a safety hazard. A 44' roadway' s proposed with a 24' driving lane, which could be widened to 52''', if necessary. Supervisor Holasek asked several questions regarding the proposed county thoro ghfare program and asked if it would be false economy to put this road in at t is time and then have to build another road later on. Mr. Redepenning pointed out hat the road had to be upgraded, and that it wasn't as though the road wasn't r wouldn'e be needed later on. Supervisor Christenson felt the center line s shown is excellent; Chairman Carlson said they couldn't do anything ~ more than th y have done. Commissioner Fieldsasked 'if we should ask for a public hearing rega ding the right of way. He doesn't see too much need for it, but --.,./ there was so e kind of a promise earlier that pebplewould be notified. It was pointed out hat each landowner will be contacted individuallY by the County regarding th right of way. Mr. Behr asked for written approval from the Board before any r' ght of way proceedings can be started. The Clerk will write a letter stating the ecision of the Board. Supervisor Christenson moved that we accept the prelimin ry plan of the County #CP74-05~109 - Nightengale Street. Seconded by Chairman Car son; motion carried. Supervisor Holasek abstained from voting. He stated that e was not opposed to the County taking over Nightingale Street as a County road; the reason he abstained from voting on the proposal by the County is that it was ot clear to him just what future use the County was proj ecting for Nightengale treet, and felt it shouldn't be classified as a major thoroughfare in'its entir ty in its present location. '. The next ite on the agenda was the insurance for the Town Hall'and furnishings. Newell Chest r explained the insurance policy on the building and explained the umbrella lia ility policy. He suggested we insure the building on a reconstruction basis at $12 ,000 for building and contents. Chairman Carlson moved that we accept the policy a $115,000 for the building and $10,000 for contents, $5,000 for papers and document , plus the umbrella policy. Motion seconded by Supervisor Holasek; passed. The total premium is $1757 per year for 'all insurance - liability, workmen's compe, perso al injury, auto, and the above. Robert W. Ho kensen appeared to request a 3/2 beer license for the former Grow Town Tavern - now Hockey's Inn. The permit had been signed by the County Attorney and ..-., by the Sheri f. After discussion during which Chairman Carlson asked Mr. Hockensen - if he had be n open as reported and which Mr. Hockensen denied, Supervisor Christenson - - .. - . (J; r\ ~ - ',,--, , Minutes - Ma ch 5, 1974 Page 2 ~ ,-" moved that a 3/2 beer license be granted to Robert W. Hockensen to sell beer at Hockey's Inn at 13305 Crooked Lake Blvd., Anoka, Minnesota for one yar from date of approval. Seconded by Chrairman Carlson; carried. Supervisor Holasek abstained from voting ecause he felt that the building should 'pass the inspection of our Building Ins ector along with the Board of Health before the license is issued. Richard Sha f Consulting Engineers Diversified, Inc. appeared before the Board to present vari us programs which could be used for road maintenance in the Township. He explained the programs and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Chairman Carlson aske what could be done to avoid problems such as those we experienced during the p st year between the Board, contractor and engineers. Larry Ko shak stated that ther than simple maintenance jobs such as patching holes, etc., projects should be co tracted for on a unit price or lump sum basis and specifications should be written f r each project in terms of work to be performed. Control can be through the engineer and so can inspection. Inspection could also be handled by a local person. A m mber of the Board should be able to direct small maintenance jobs with a work rder procedure we have initiated. After further discussion, Chairman Carlson said we should lock in with Program A.-I for another year because we shouldn't go back to p st programs and we aren't ready for the new programs which would mean I hiring maint nance employees and purchasing equipment. Mr. Sha pointed out that [ the next ste would be to draw up stringent maintenance agreements for the Township and the cont actors .to follow for the coming year. ~\ '~ The Board ag eed to the procedure for the Zoning and Planning Request Form as changed on a otion by Chairman Carlson, second by Holasek.

The Budget to be presented at the Annual Meeting was discussed. Supervisor Holasek moved that we present the proj ection of income and proposed budget as agreed upon by the Board.

The following paragraph, wilt be added to the December 1 minut es : (Regarding purchase of Jerry Green property for bridge over Coon Cre k) Acquiring this property does not comply with platting ordinance ~. #10 because t e property acquired is less than 5 acres; however, the Town Board feels that because his single parcel is being acquired for public use it is not necessary '...._/~ to plat the e tire parcel at this time, and that this single parcel may be conveyed by metes and ounds.
