Tower Ordinance
A. Public Hearing was held for the adoption of the Tower
Ordinance. There was no public comment and the hearing was
tabled until the October 7, 1997.
Gravel Pit Report
Dennis Seefeldt reported that Dresel had complied with everything
in the letter sent to them by the Town Board. The area mined
below grade has been filled with good material. The south side
of the road has been restored and the north side at the McCurdy
property has been seeded. He reported there may be a problem
with the distance from a wetland. Mining should be 50 feet but
it appears they are mining within 30 feet from the actual water,
not the wetland delineation, and they have built a road within
two feet of the water. Dresel was requested to have the north
property line surveyed, but there are no stakes. Bracht Bros.
have patched 185th Street and Barton Pit is very busy making
asphalt and removing asphalt.
