as anyone else, and it is the County's responsibility to maintain the road. The County uses weight <br />restrictions as one form of controlling track hauling. To his knowledge the County has never <br />required road repair as part of a hauling permit. <br /> <br />Mr. Thompson's neighbor stated that T.H. 47 is not designed for the amount of track traffic <br />occurring now. He agreed that Mr. Thompson has a right to excavate his property but expressed <br />concern about the road and its condition afterward. <br /> <br />Resident, 6200 177th Lane N.W., stated that his main concern is that his property abuts County <br />Road 63, and he will experience dust and dH blowing offthe road from the truck traffic. He just <br />resided his house and does not want to have to wash it once a week. He asked if the time frame <br />for hauling could be narrowed to three months. Also, there are many pine trees along County <br />Road 63, and there could be unsafe driving conditions with the unlevel road where the trucks exit. <br />He is not against the project but would like to see the proper controls in place, so that there is not <br />a disadvantage to residents. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowksi stated that Mr. Thompson is required to put up a $10,000 letter of credit <br />that will be used to repair any adverse conditions that result from this permit. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />One resident asked if this work could be used to pressure Mn/DOT to reconstruct T.H. 47. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that T.H. 47 is scheduled for reconstruction in 1999, along with <br />the replacement of Trout Brook Bridge, four major culverts and a complete overlay from County <br />Road 5 to Bums Township. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Holland, seconded by Commissioner Deemer to close the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carded.
