PRINTER'S AFFIDAVIT OF PUBLICATION REGULAR MEETING OF RAMSEY TOWN BOARD July 17, 1972 The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. by the Chairman, Mr. Murphy. Present were Mr. Scarborough, Mr. Cox, Mr. Peterson, Clerk and Mr. Goodrich, Township attorney. IW. Peterson read the minutes ot the last stated meeting. Correction in reterence to Riverwood Hills Plat No.1 it should read "this preliminary plat has been passed". Mr. Scarborough moved the minutes be accepted with this correction. Seconded by Mr. Cox. Motion carried. Report on incorporation preparations: Mr. Charles Tooker is in the process of preparing plats and doing research. We have not had any meetings with him as yet but we will be having meetings before the next Township meeting. September 7th will be the first hearing. We are not sure of the location of the hearing as yet but it will probably be at the courthouse in Anoka. Some people have been concerned about the new platting ordinance. For people who had land approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Board prior to the ordinance gOing into effect, they have to appear at the Town Board for approval to sell the lots in these plats. Mr. Scarborough stated these' people had been promised by the Town Board that the I' new ordinance would not affect those whose plats had already been approved. The platting ordinance is not retroactive. If someone wants a permit to build on a lot that was surveyed before the ordinance went into effect, each case should come before the Planning and Zoning Commission. The purchase agreement or contract for deed must stay the same as it was before' the ordinance was passed. Discussion on secretary for the' Townsl)ip. II was decided it would take too long to go through the replies to the advertisement at this time and ihliould be taken up at a later meeting. Discussion on Building I nspector's wages. Our Building Inspector gets 50 percent and the Township gets 50 percent of the fees. In Grow Township he gets 90 percent and the TownShip gets 10 percent. In Champlin the Building Inspector gets 70 percent and the Township gets 30 percent. Grader: Mr. George Eide of Forest Lake was present. He sells second hand graders. Mr. Barstow said he had looked at a few second hand graders in different places. He said we would have 60 to 70 miles of snow to plow plus the new plats that have been issued this year. Mr. Barstowsaid the grader has a bad case of asthma. We will need another grader and later on possibly another truck. Mr. Murphy asked Mr. Barstow to give the Town Board specifications for a second hand grader so we can advertise for bids. Mr. Murphy asked Mr. Cox to get together with Mr. Barstow about this matter. IW. Mert Watson of the Anoka City Council was present. He introduced Mr. William K. McKieof McKie & Associates, Inc. and Mr. Ray Kellis of the firm that is handling the dump in Ramsey Township at the present time. Mr. McKie stated they were developing plans for the landfill operation and showed maps of three stages in its operation eventually becoming a Skiing area in 1996 with a height of 125 feet. He said they were now taking care Of the paper blowing around the area. Mr. Kellis said they had spent $700 to get the debris picked up. Mr. Westphal stated it looked very ragged at the back Of the landfill at this time. Mr. Murphy asked them if they were gOing to put in trees around the landfill and Mr. Kellis replied they hoped to do something like this. Mr. Scarborough stated the Town Road had a four ton load limit and the trucks hauling over it now weighed over 10 ton and he asked what they planned to do about it. Mr. Kellis said this would have to be worked out with the City of Anoka and Ramsey TownShip. A question was asked as to why their charges were not always the same for the same size load and could not Ramsey Township residents get a better deal. Hestated cars and pickups may feel they are being abused but that there was not as much money in this business as some people thought and that it costs a great deal to have the personnel to run this operation. II was decided the Town Board would have to sit down with the Anoka City Council to draw up the restrictions under which this dump or landfill will be operated. Mr. Scarborough moved that the Anoka City Commission and the Ramsey Town Board draw up a responsibility contract. Seconded by Mr. Murphy. fv\otion carried. Carol Gower requested permission to operate a day care school. She will have remedial reading or pre. school reading for pre.school children, possibly 5 or 6 at a time. II would be a small learning school for five year olds. She is in a residential area. II was suggested she go to the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on August 9th. Her address is 9136 Collins Drive N.W. She has been to see Mrs. McDonald of the Welfare Dept. in Anoka. Fire Contract with Elk River: Mr. Peterson had contacted the Elk River Fire Department as to why their charge was so high. They stated the quotation had been wrong and that their charge.would be $240.00 for 12 percent of the valuation of the Township. Mr. Cox moved we stay with the Anoka Fire Dept. contract. Seconded by Mr. Scarborough. Motion carried. IW. Hunt is in Montana and will not be about to inspect weeds. This job is now open. II pays $300.00 per year. Mr. Peterson had a call from the County about weed inspecting. IW. Reimann read the minutes of the last Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. .
