Mr. Murphy said there had been some requests about a road between Highway 10 and 52 going north. Mr. Brutlag of the Elk River School District office was presenfwiff1 Mr. Speck and Mr. Philip Kafnis, who live in that area. Mr. Brutlag said that at the present time, some of the buses must go approximately 15 miles via a roundabout way on Ramsey Township Roads 83 and 63 and Highways 10 and 52 in order to complete their bus routes. This distance could be cut considerably if a road connected the two areas. Mr. GOOdrich said it was a user established road and a constructively dedicated road. This road can be dedicated to the public. The road appears on a county map. Both Elk River and Ramsey Township have spent some money on it. In 1961 both Ramsey Township and Elk River paid half of the expense of fixing up this road. This road has been in usefor21 years. Mr. Philip Katnis owns the land on the Sherburne side. He said he has pulled many cars out that have become stuck on th is road and he is getting tired of it. Someone put a heap of brush on the road to stop its being used and someone else dug a ditch across the road. Mr. Katnis thinks the road should either be fixed up properly and maintained or closed. He said he would like to see this road built up properly and maintained. The road is about a mile long. Mr. Speck and Mr. Katnis, who own the land said they would be willing to give the land for this road so it would be 4 ~~s"""~e.~'Goodrk~an~otic;;h~~b~tt~ a developer along this road that this is a road. Mr. Scarborough made a resolution that this road has been determined to be a Township road known as the "County Line Road" and therefore it is open to the public and should be kept open to the pUblic and will be improved according to the Township road ordinances atter the easements have been determined by the Township Attorney. Seconded by Mr. Cox. Motion carried. Mr. Goodrich will write to the developer and to the home owner along this road to this effect. Mr. Goodrich was asked about the new addition to the dog ordinance.
