On the above date New Scandia Town Board held a Special Meeting
to address the reconstruction and graveling of 185th Street,
188th Street, Norell and a small portion of Newgate. The
following Board Members were present: Dennis Seefeldt, Chairman,
Michael Hinz, Kevin Nickelson, and John Martineau. Paul
Rasmussen, Vice Chairman was absent.
Tom Peterson, Township Engineer stated the road should be 28 feet
wide and the bituminous surfacing is 24 feet. A discussion was
held regarding the width of the road and it was stated it could
probably be narrower as the residents requested to narrow the
road a couple of feet. This will be determined at a later date
after the Township Engineer has meet with the affected property
owners.
Vernon Hank, 18630 Norrel, was concerned with the project as the
family have a cabin that is very close to the road now and after
construction the cabin will be right next to the road. Ms. Hank
was informed that it would improve their lot and cabin if the
structure would be moved.
Larry Grundtner, 13490 188th Street, stated he was opposing the
cutting of the pine trees on the edge of his property and that
the road should be 10 feet in the other direction. Todd
Balsineo, 13430 188th Street, questioned if the road could go the
other direction by the septic area that serves several dwellings
in the area. Tom Peterson stated he would review the issue as
there is a plan to extend the 201 Septic System along the lake.
Marcella Harnden, 13420 188th Street, asked if there could be a
possibility to straighten the road by the drainfield. Residents
that paid for the drainfield area had concerns as they would have
to incur another expense to contact to the 201 Sewer System.
Steve Kronmiller, 13450 188th Street, and David Schwelling, 18510
Norell stated there is a problem making a left hand turn from
Norell onto 185th Street. Tom Peterson stated there could be a
possibility of cutting into the bank on the east side of the
property that is owned by Molly Rice.
Linda Marotzke, 18911 Newgate, was concerned about restoring
wetlands by her property and she did not want the piles of
concrete, stumps, etc., removed from their property.
Steve Schroeder, 13781 185th Street, stated the erosion is a
problem going down the hill of 185th Street. He was informed
catch basins would be installed in the area.
David Kotrba, 18462 Norell, and Geral Moe, 18280 Noxell , were
both concerned about the elevation of the road and the road is 3
feet higher then their lot. They were informed this would be
corrected with the reconstruction.

Chris Ness, 18280 Norell, was concerned about the width of the
road and more water run off, and ditching by his residence. His
garage is close to the road now and the reconstruction would
bring the garage closer to the road. Many residents on Norell
expressed the need for a turn -around on the end of Norell.
It was agreed that Tom Peterson, Township Engineer meet with
residents regarding the above issues and that perhaps schedule
another Informational Meeting when the plans are more complete.
Meeting adjourned.
