Lee
Theis – Lee stated that he would like a reasonable amount of time to move his
business to a commercial site. Understands
that he cannot have his business in Sioux Vitsa but wants time to be able to put
this together, build it and probably some time by next August be out of there.
Jim Terwerdo out of Jordan is Lee’s new attorney now as this has now
turned into a criminal matter and his past attorney does not deal with criminal
deals. He wants to get something
worked out between township, county and neighbors so that it is a win win
situation. Lee also asked to have
the general manager for his company to be able to have still come to his home
for managing the Motokazie business. This
would be for phone calls and such, nothing further.
Lee stated that his assigned planner at Scott County was Lisa and Dan
Eckholm inspected his property. What
Lee needs is a sunset date from the township and county.
Les stated that Lee has made a good intent with realizing that he cannot
keep his business in Sioux Vista and is willing to move forward and move his
business. Would like to have a
purchase agreement within the next 4 weeks.
Greystone would be the builder and they are putting together a sworn
construction statement right now. Board
asked Lee to come back next month so that we can see how it’s going and see
what we can do.
New

Old
Business:
Annexation
and developer’s agreement – Meeting on September 20th to meet
with the developers in and around Jordan such as Ames and Tolleffson, Bacus and
Carey was cancelled.
Township
Right of Way Ordinance – tabled.
City
of Belle Plaine update – Payments were made on Old Hwy. 169 project.
Belle Plaine Ambulance is restructuring.
Ted has been going to the meetings. One
thing they are looking into is having a chase car which would have a paramedic
in a vehicle and when a call goes out for a ALS, this person can meet the
ambulance at the scene and then Belle Plaine would be an ALS status.
The cost is basically absorbed in the fee structure.
All communities would kick in on this to get this going at least during
daytime hours. This would give us
better service and quality ambulances. Highway
interchange by Belle Plaine is now on hold until spring.
City
of Jordan updates – As stated above. Joann
Faust called form the City of Jordan and they are working on their new comp
plan.
MN
Dot updates – As stated above.
Township
Road No. 57 Grant Update – Based on talking with Jobe, Halling is working on
the final segment of the road. County
would like something by the end of the year so that we can bid early in the
season next year.
Union
Pacific Railroad – As stated above.
Scenic
Byways – tabled.
Road
Maintenance Report – Jim Stang reported that the roads look good.
School zone signs by Beaumont Way have been moved.
Ditch mowing has not yet been done. Ted
talked with Bob Stoppleman and they said they will be out this weekend.
Ted stated that on Sioux Vista Drive, there is a dip that needs some
class 5 redrock. Jim Stang will take
care of. Also put some by 185th
– Severson’s mail box. Les also
said the on top of #57 it’s pretty thin. It’s
holding but it’s thin. Will put a
few loads down there also. Jim also
mentioned that 218th Street may need some.
Will put some class 5 there also.
Other
Business/Notices/Public Comments –
Scott
County – Coordination Meeting for WMO Rules – October 19, 2006 at 10 a.m. at
the Scott County Government Center.
Ted
asked about the resolution that Scott County wanted.
Gary Berg called and asked about from Scott County.
Mona to send him a letter stating that we do not want to adopt
resolution.
Ted
asked about Old Hwy. 169 Blvd. Can
we get a couple of 40 mph signs. The
suggestion from the city came that we should post two more 40 mph signs.
Board stated that it is not our responsibility and that if the city wants
to post signs, they can.
Ted
stated that 185th Street – having problems with people coming down
the hill pretty fast by Severson’s. Les
again stated that the 30 mph sign is not enforceable and that they can sit there
and give them a ticket, but it will probably not hold up in court.
Ted stated that maybe stop signs could be put there but that would be
something that Severson’s would have to take to the City of Jordan and ask
for.
Jim
Stang asked about a dog leg off of Petter Drive and if it needed to be plowed.
The answer is no unless Hennen asks for it to be plowed.
Bob
Williams asked about an annexation update. Ted
stated that what the township did is instead of sitting back and waiting for
something to happen we went to them an approached them about an annexation
agreement to get what we wanted. Right
now the City is doing some serious thinking about things.
We’re way ahead of them and they’re trying to catch up to us and see
what they want to do. Jordan has
sewer capacity issues, transportation issues, etc.
They are restudying their routes, etc.
Have met with property owners for proposed extension of sewer line but
comp plan has to match what they plan to do.
Bob asked about why we have so many Beaumont streets, Beaumont Avenue,
Beaumont Street, Beaumont Way. Is
there someway to get one of these changed, etc.
Because of the 911 addressing, this should not be as much of an issue.
No further business to come before the meeting. Motion by Les and seconded by Hubie to recess meeting to all other meetings for the next month. No discussion. Motion carried.
Meeting
recessed at 8:35 p.m.
