SPECIAL MEETING OF RAMSEY TOVfN BOARD July 23, 1973 The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Mr. Murphy, at 6:30 p.m. Present were Mr. Sha, Township Engineer, Mr. Cox, Mr. Hopperstad, Mr. Reimann, of Ramsey Township and Mr. Specht, Chair- man, Mr. Schulte, and Mr. Frank Madsen of Elk River Township Board. The road between the two townships in the northeastem part of Elk River Township and the Northwestern part of Ramsey Townshipwas dis- cussed at length. The concensus of opinion was that at the pre- sent time, with no further large development expected in the nor- therly area and being that funds are limited, unless the property owners benefitting from this road are equally assessed, we would find it inadvisable at the present time to construct such a road. Mr. Gram and Mr. Holasek were present with the plat called Prairie- view on Highway No. 5. The plat had been changed according to the request of the Town Board. The Board will require an ease- ment from the Firchau property which is north of this plat and 153rd Ave., east of the existing road to the east end of the plat (so 66 feet of the SE ¼ of the NE ¼ of Sec. 23.) Mr. Cox moved we accept the preliminary plat of Prairieview. Seconded by Mr. Hopperstad. Motion carried. Mr. Henry Moos, Chairman, Mr. Ernest Koehler and Mr. Lloyd May, the Town Board from Burns Township arrived at this point. They discussed the road in the northwestern part of our Township and many other matters important to both Townships. Mr. and Mrs. Mel James and Mr. Huston, their realtor, came to the meeting about a road across the property they would like to sell to the School District for an elementary school. The School Dis- trict wants an all weather road to the property from the east which would cross two forties. This road would connect Highway #56 with Sunfish Lake Blvd. The Jameses are willing to give an easement across these two forties. Mr. Murphy dictated a letter to the superintendent, Mr. Erling Johnson, in which he stated that the Township would be willing to make a feasibility study as to the cost of such a road, which, in case the site is not accepted, the School District would pay for the feasibility study. After that time we would have a public hearing for those property owners westerly of the proposed school site. We would proceed according to law in providing for this improvement. Mr. Murphy moved that the Board approve an on sale non-intoxicat- ing liquor malt license for September 9, 1973 for the Firemen's Trap Shoot at the St. Anthony Gun Club. Seconded by Mr. Cox° Motion carried. There have been complaints on the business operation Jerry Root is conducting at his home in a residential area in violation of Zoning Ordinance 73-5. A letter will be written to him instructing him to cease this business. There have been complaints about the used bricks and junk on the property of Mr. Jared Janke, 5803 153rd Ave. N.W. A letter will be written to him telling him he is in violation of Zoning Ordinance 73-5 and to case business operations in a residential area and to clean up his junk.
