River Road Bridge - if we get a bill for engineering costs send the 20% to the County for 10% reimbursement.

 

Pine Road ditch discussion - call from Dave Perkins and he had been talking to the DNR and he was going to have to go through them if he wanted to extend his application to the ditch. The ditch is not a FEMA ditch. It is emergency storm water run off ditch. The ditch is under the enforcement of the DNR. Perkins has made an application with the DNR. The DNR will not talk with anyone except the applicant said Dave Lucey. Perkins would be willing to move the plug, but wouldn't give a timeframe. Gauger said we need to give him a timeframe. Denruiter mentioned that we can give him till the 1st of the year to get the plug out. If the Town has to hire someone then the bill will go on Perkins taxes. Denruiter motioned to give Perkins till December 1st to remove the plug. Gauger seconded, motion passed.

 

 

Ingmar Nelson - what does the board want from him so he can get some answers on rezoning his land? How much does a special meeting cost $420.

 

Town Patrolmen discussion - We have another semi load of salt coming.

 

Gauger motioned to approve the bills presented. Denruiter seconded, motion passed.

 

The Town received a letter from a guy who is concerned about the State UDC and the fees for inspecting septic and new houses. He wants to know if the Town is in favor of the State inspector or a private inspector.

 

Rod Anding - concerned about the board not passing Rick Petersons building permit. Dave Lucey said it opens up too many problems. There is already a house there. The ordinance says the board "may" approve a conditional use for a residence.

 

Denruiter motioned to adjourn. Gauger seconded, motion passed.
