- 5 - T.B.5-1-73 <br /> <br />shown on some County maps and on some it is not. The Hagen plat <br />was laid out over this trail or road. Teen agers'are going down <br />this road and having beer busts, they have bands there, they <br />drive over people's lawns, kn~k down trees, causing much damage, <br />and the police have been called several times. In an effort to <br />stop this the residents have broken the culvert, planted trees <br />in the road, put cement blocks in the road and planted lawns over <br />it. When they bought their land this was not shown as a road. <br />Mr. Menkveld said he had been driving this road for twenty years. <br />He has seen the road graded and culverts put in. This was about <br />t'en years ago. Two men pried out half of the culvert. Mr. Ron <br />Schmidt said this road had not been mentioned for three years <br />since he has lived there. He said 60 kids had been up on the <br />hill with cars and bands. Mr. Hank Stollman said this situation <br />is getting worse every year. He lives on 169th and Baugh and said <br />if this road is put in there will be roads on three sides of his <br />house. They suggested putting a gate across the road and the <br />people who have land back there could have keys to the gate but <br />this did not seem satisfactory to the other side. Mr. Cox asked <br />Mr. Menkveld where the road should be put. He said he thought <br />it should be put on the County line. Mr. Jack Menkveld said it <br />saves six miles of driving to have this road there. The culvert <br />was paid half by Elk River Township and half by Ramsey Township. <br />Mr. Ajax asked what the distance is supposed to be between roads. <br />Answer: There is no set distance between roads. The teenagers <br />had bonfires on this land last fall and this is very dangerous. <br />Mr. Specht and Mr. Katnis would each give 2 rods for this road. <br />Mr. Katnis and Mr. Specht said that if this road was closed that <br />it will cost the Township a great deal of money to buy the land <br />for such a road in the future. Mr. Menkveld offered to put in <br />another culvert. With the broken culvert, someone could get hurt <br />on this road now. Mr. Menkveld offered to pay $200 toward fixing <br />up this road. Mr. Cox stated the Township just does not have the <br />money to build up this road. Mr. Cox suggested that the Town Board <br />go with the Elk River Township Board to look over this road before <br />the next Town Board meeting. This was agreed upon. <br /> <br />Mr. Murphy suggested we have a sign put up in vario~s places in <br />the Township which would be a deterrant to lawbreakers. Mr. Aus- <br />pos will make up such a sign. <br /> <br />We should get some stencils made up that can be used to letter the <br />refuse cans and another sign for the charcoal burners in our parks. <br /> <br />If we indicate at this time to the School District we will be able <br />to get help in various areas from the Tec. School under a federal <br />grant whereby we only have to pay 20~ an hou~ for this fall. This <br />would include clerical, park maintenance, repair work, painting, <br />etc. This was agreed upon. This would be for three or four hours <br />a day during the school year. <br /> <br />We will hold up building permits where culverts have not been put <br />in. Under our new zoning and platting revisions, if the culvert <br />is not put in and one is needed, then the occupancy permit will <br />not be issued until the culvert is in. This was turned over to <br />the Building Inspector. <br /> <br /> <br />
