DRESEL GRAVEL PIT
accept the Planning Commission
seconded the motion and motion
The Dresel Gravel Pit was reviewed by the Planning Commission and
the members felt the issue of the north property line has not
been settled to their satisfaction and Mr Walter Anderson
complained a rock dropped off a Dresel truck hauling gravel on
Highway 97 and Mr Dresel would not take responsibility for the
broken windshield. Kevin Nickelson requested that this complaint
be included in the Dresel file.
Planning Commission recommends to the Town Board that they
require a survey of the property currently occupied by the Dresel
mining operation on the grounds that there must be a satisfactory
page 2
resoultion between Mr McCurdy and Dresel Mining as to the 100,
setback of operations from the McCurdy property, and that in the
future phases of mining operations and eventual reclamation for
both the Dresel and Barton mining operation a clear delineation
of the property involved will prove valuable. Conditions are:
Survey of the Dresel Mining north property line be submitted and
the elevation fo the lowest point of excavation be established by
February 4, 1997. Findings are it is difficult if not impossible
legally to ensure that conditions of the Dresel Mining permit are
indeed met and will be met in the future.
Paul Rasmussen made a motion to accept the Planning Commission
recommendations. Kevin Nickelson seconded the motion and motion
adopted unanimously.

Mr Gerald Olson presented a concept plan for property legally
described as the E 1/2 of Section 4, Township 32, Range 20 West.
The concept plan has been presented to Washington County and the
they questioned if 235th Street was a Township road as it is not
on the township roads. Mr Nordin stated the township has
maintained 235th Street for years and he felt this was township
road.
Mr Olson reviewed the discussion in the minutes of the Plat
Commission regarding the drainage of the wetland in the Southeast
corner (Lot 10). Mr Olson stated he had farmed the area until
Melanie Trail was upgraded and he has had a problem with that
area since and the township drained that area in 1996.
Mr Olson was asked if he had considered cluster housing and he
stated he felt that did not fit well with the land.
