46 10 -10 -72 Mr. Locher read a letter from the Auditor's Office on two parcels of forieit land available in the Lexington Park Lakeview area. The Council decided to take a look at these lots and to decide at the Next Council meeting on the matter of purchasing them or not. Mr. Locher had checked at the Anoka County Court House and there is no record of Hol ly Drive on file there. The requi rements of establishing a road is 6 years of maintainance and use. Mr. Locher read the legal description from an 1898 record of roads and the description matches the present location of the road pretty close. Mr. Locher said if residents would file affidavits as to the use and maintainance of the road this would serve as proof. Some one thought that this had been done several years ago by Mr. Norman Miller. The clerk was asked to check the files and see if these are still here. Two things determine the status of a road - Publis usage and maintainance by Public Funds. Mr. Locher also informed the Council that an acceptance of the water and sewer systems, the Village will be responsible for the pumping and hauling of the waste in the Chomonix area. In order to do this they need an Ordinance governing the operation. Mr. Locher said he thought that this should be the responsibility of the Metro Sewer Board but the Council felt that the cost of hauling would be less than the Metro Sewer charges. Mr. Gotwald said that the road to the wet well has been surfaced and is in good condition. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Locher if there was any word on our sign certification. Mr. Locher said, No. Mr. Marier wanted to know if we can enforce our sign Ordinance as we now have it. Mr. Locher said, Yes, until we hear otherwise.
