Letter from Fred Rock regarding his proposals for property on the Finkbeiner/Crane Road project was read.

Enclosed is a list of our concerns regarding the proposed Finkbeiner Road construction.

  • 1. We have pastured cattle for the past 25 years on both sides of Finkbeiner Road, approximately 60 acres on north side, 130 acres on the south side. We request underground passage for cattle.
  • 2. We request a permanent fence on the north side of Finkbeiner Road due to increased risk. We request a permanent fence on both sides with gates.
  • 3. The road commission removed our fencing from the alfalfa field entrance to M-37 (approximately 1960) when revised from gravel to tarmac and was never replaced. Please correct.
  • 4. Fill in depression (east side of Bender and Finkbeiner). Fill in with material removed from hill when road is repositioned.
  • 5. Alter center line of road so that the approximately 6 front yard trees can remain.
  • 6. Place fence gates where necessary.
  • 7. Replace a 120 volt line and a pressure water line running under Finkbeiner Road to supply water and current for cattle located west side of house driveway. If removed or damaged – please replace.
  • 8. Please honor our concerns and reply.

Motion by Commissioner Pashby seconded by Commissioner Dykstra to approve the preliminary Plat of Kellogg Meadow.

     ROLL CALL:  Yeas, Willcutt, Dykstra, & Pashby

                               Nays, None
