7/26/71 in it it was a public road. Mr. Cardinal replied that 12th Avenue wasn't much of a road until Norm Miller moved in, so that they held to one in the other way. Mr. Scherer noted that the rest of East. Holly was in the same shape as the bad part before Grygelko's moved in; however, the bad part is no problem since everyone has a way out. Mr. Cardinal stated that it was simply a shortcut. After further discussion, Mr. Locher suggested that the first step would be to refer the book to the Engineer to see if the road is where it is described to be, and thought it would be a good idea if he checked all the roads in the book. He noted that ,there was an award,of damages to the signers of the petition and that section corner markers are mentioned. Mr. Cardinal stated that he doubtedithat the road- way had changed except to straddle holes since there had always been fences along it on both sides. He stated,that,he bad seen a later mep showing the road cutting. across Ralstead's place. He felt, that it should be referred to the Engineer for a report. Discussion turned to the Caron hayroad which was scheduled later on the agenda. The Clerk had found the laying out of this road also in the same book as well as a note in the minutes that Don Paul and Jesse Heller had come to a meeting in 1964 to discuss their private road. Mr. Locher read the description of the road, which runs on the N-S quarter- section line from the NE corner of the SW 1/4 of $W 1/4 of Section 10 to its intersection with the St. Paul and Kettle River Road (now Main St.) Mr. Rosengren noted that the jog in the toad at its North end was due to a waterhole. Mr. Locher stated that Mr. Caron would be safe if he put the fence 16 1/2 feet off the quarter section line. Mr. Caron stated that he wanted.to fence his property so that his cattle could graze and thus eliminate a fire hazard. Mr. Locher stated that the Village could consider abandoning the road but other parties have a.right'to be heard., Mr. Locher noted also that several pages of the.book were missing. After discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to have the Engineer check the book and to find, the correct lines for the 2 roads in question above. Seconded by llir. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Cardinal reported that Mr. Pete Nadeau had asked for.a variance on a piece of land on Birch St., which had provoked lots of discussion at the P&Z. Mr. Nadeau wants to put in drain tile since the land is low to the North of this piece. Mr. Nadeau stated that there was a natural waterway directly West of his piece, and that even if he split off a bigger piece the house would still have to go in the same place. After discussion, Mr. Cardinal moved to grant Pete Nadeau a variance, with the stipulation that Mr. • Gotwald cheek out.the drainage first, on the following described property ;.
