HARRIET JOHNSON (PILAR CULVERT)
Ms Harriet Johnson expressed her concern regarding the
compensation she received for the culvert problem on Pilar.
The board informed Ms Johnson that the Department of Soil and
Water Conservation had viewed the damage and felt that amount was
appropriate for the damages.
CRAIG TENNIS, ATTORNEY FOR NORMAN AND AUDREY DAHL REGARDING
BOUNDARY PROBLEMS IN BECKSTROM ADDITION
Craig Tennis, Attorney representing Norman and Audrey Dahl
informed the board and citizens on Lakamaga Trail that there was
a error in surveying the area many years ago and that some of the
property lines run through homes, monument and lines of
occupation do not match. To elevate the problems property owners
would be required to exchange quit claim deeds and the township
would also need to wavier the requirements of the subdivision
ordinance. No decision was made by the town board on this
matter.
BUD HASKILL
Mr Haskill expressed his concerns regarding Mr Robert Kopp that
Mr Kopp was required to construct a driveway off of Maxwill when
the variance was granted and Mr Kopp does not use the driveway.
Mr Haskill requested the board consider vacating Lakewood Avenue,
the road Mr Kopp uses instead of his own driveway. The clerk
would send Mr Kopp a letter informing him of the conditions of
the variance and that he should exist on Maxwill.
BRUCE SWENSON UPTOWN SEWER SYSTEM
Mr Swenson presented three (3) options for the Uptown Sewer
System. He stated Option 1 is the most feasible for the system.
This option would be the Hall Rasmussen property which consists

amount of $25,000.00. The total estimated construction cost of
the drainfield is proposed at $56,000.00. The following entities
would be included in the system: Church, Parsonage, Cafe,
Superette, Vet, Messenger, P & N and Schmitt. There was
discussion if the township should be included, but the committee
suggested the township purchase the land and if the township

attorney for review and it was agreed that the entities send a
