175 Ralph L'Allier from Richard Miller of the Minnesota Health Department pertaining to the dump. Domning moved we accept the petition and place on file for future reference. Second by L'Allier, motion carried. Mr. Karth, Centerville Road, discussed a culvert in front of his property that had been filled in with dirt by the Johnson Construction Company, and he feared flooding of his property would result if left that way. Backlin stated he had talked to Johnson already about the culvert, and he would follow through to see it was replaced before freezeup this fall. Al Dupre reported to the Council he had denied a request by Gordon Nelson to issue a building permit to construct a tool and storage shed on Aqua Lane as he felt it was not in accordance with our ordinance. Mr. Nelson who is gardening on the property he owns adjacent to Aqua Lane built the shed in order to have a locked place to keep his equipment. Following discussion Domning stated we would table action until the next meeting so the Council members can all inspect the property and building. Irvin Zastrow from the Lino Cabinet Company discussed the building of a conference table for the Council. He presented drawings for a 12 x 4 table, cost $286.00. Following discussion, Mr. Zastrow will submit two alternate drawings and prices at our next meeting. Herb Johnson, Sunrise Avenue, felt the trees along Sunrise Avenue constituted a hazard to the village. Backlin stated he had discussed this situation with the Rev. Schnitzious, however, they were not agreeable at this time to removal of any of the trees. Even if widened to the property line, it would still only be a 60' right of way. Backlin will talk to Rev. Schnitziou again, and try to have an easement drawn up. Harold Hanson informed the Council the hearing on his property with tI State Highway Department was due to come up late in October, and wanted to know if any further information had been received relative to the service road fronting 35E. He did not feel he was ready for a hearing at this time with the _limited information available. Downing will write to Ray Johnson, Commissioner, for help in this matter. Backlin is to contact the County Engineer and Ross will call and talk to Mr. Fields. During discussion, Ralph L'Allier stated he had also been contacted by the Postmaster relative to what the State intended to do on this service road. Ross moved that we also write to Mr. McCubrey of the State Highway Department asking to be brought up to date on developments pertaining to this service road, and also asking about the proposed maintenace. Second by L'Allier, motion. carried. Bill Bohjanen questioned the article that had appeared in the Circulating Pines, which he felt indicated that village funds were being used to sue the village. L'Allier suggested we have our legal counsel check into this, and request a special meeting with the Utilities Company if the attorney felt it was necessary. The clerk read a letter from North Central indicating their progress to date in laying the gas lines. Notice of the next Anoka County League of Municipalities meeting was read, and it was moved by Backlin, second by Ross, that Downing and L'Allier attend as village representatives. Motion carried.
