of the meeting of 6-18-2007
A regular meeting of the Board of
Supervisors of Alexandria Township was held on the 18th Day of June
2007 at the Alexandria Township Conference Room, 610 Fillmore Street.
ROLL CALL: Supervisors present were Bryon Alstead, Joel
Dahlheimer, Louis Ross, and Roger Thalman.
Also present were Clerk Gregg Raisanen and Mona Billmark, Treasurer. As said members formed a quorum and the
meeting was called to order by Chairman Thalman at 7:30 PM.
Ross, seconded by Dahlheimer,
made a motion to adopt the agenda with the addition of E. Lake Burgen Drainage
discussion under new business. Motion carried unanimously.
Alstead, seconded by Ross, made
a motion to approve the minutes of the June 4, 2007 regular board meeting as
written. Motion carried unanimously.
Dahlheimer, seconded by Ross,
made a motion to authorize payment of claims 7179-7199 in the amount of
$10,793.64 and net payroll in the amount of $466.39 for a total of $11,260.03
and authorize the transfer of $11,000.00 from the savings into the checking
account. Motion carried unanimously.
CITIZEN CONCERNS: Clerk Raisanen reported that the office had
received a complaint regarding noise from the leaf blower at the Alexandria
Golf Club. The Club has been using the
blower after 7:00 AM; therefore they are probably in compliance with the noise
ordinance.
Mickey Giroux, Southside Drive,
was present requesting action regarding drainage in the road ditch in front of
her property. She indicated that her
neighbor had blocked his culvert and she requested doing the same and filling
in part of the ditch. Supervisor
Dahlheimer reported that Engineer Kuhn and himself had viewed the property and
reported that the township road was not being impacted; therefore no board
action was recommended. He indicated
that the neighbor’s property was higher than hers so the water wouldn’t drain
towards his property anyway. The road
has been petitioned for improvement so therefore the drainage problem may be
resolved if the road is upgraded.
PLANNING AND ZONING: Clerk Raisanen presented the board a quote
for sewer inspection services from Douglas County in the amount of
$30.00/septic design review, $60/soil borings, and $80.00/system field inspection. Other quotes received from other firms were
$95/00/design review and $120/00/final inspection from On Site Evaluation
Services and $125.00/design review and $125.00/final Inspection from Alex
Construction Inc. Alstead, seconded by
Dahlheimer, made a motion to accept the written quote provided by Douglas
County Land & Resource Management Department and contract for septic
inspections at the quoted prices. Motion
carried unanimously.
Ross, seconded by Alstead, made
a motion to adopt Resolution 07-09, a resolution adopting ordinance 113, an
ordinance governing private and public driveway road approaches to Alexandria
Township roads. Motion carried
unanimously.
Ross, seconded by Dahlheimer,
made a motion to adopt Resolution 07-10, a resolution ordering adoption of a
summary of ordinance 113. Motion carried
unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS: Supervisor Alstead reported that there is
significant erosion occurring downstream from a centerline culvert that was
installed across E. Lake Burgen Rd. near the intersection of Alpine Road. He had viewed the plat of this area and it
appears that there is a
20-ft. drainage easement
recorded in this area.
Alstead, seconded by Ross, made
a motion to recommend approval of the 3.2 liquor license for Three Havens Store. Motion carried unanimously.
ENGINEER’ REPORT: Engineer Kuhn arrived at 8:15 PM. The board discussed the drainage issue along
South Side Drive. He reported that Mickey
Giroux’s property is at the lowest spot in the drainage area therefore there
was no immediate resolution to the drainage problem; however, the work that she
had already completed on her property may have partially resolved the
problem. Clerk Raisanen will notify the
landowner.
Engineer Kuhn that he will
verify the drainage easement in the E. Burgen Road area and will prepare some
erosion control recommendations for the board’s consideration.dc
Being no further business, Ross, seconded by Alstead, made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 8:25PM.
