Not In Your Backyard?

The homes on Pioneer and Church Roads would rather it not be in their

backyards either.

The pictures above show just a recent effort to clean up the roadside and

wooded area along Church Road in Gnesen Township. How can anyone

think this is ok? The WLSSD landfill is just 10 minutes away! This type of

disregard for residents, let alone the pollution factor, is unacceptable.

We all have cell phone cameras in our pockets. If you see or know of any-

one doing this, take a picture, get a license plate, and REPORT IT to the

Sheriff’s Department and one of the Town Hall Supervisors. (Their

numbers are listed on the back of this newsletter)

Thank you to those who helped pick up this garbage and take it to

WLSSD. Lets hope you don’t have to do it again.

held on Monday, April 24, 2017, at the Gnesen Town

Member asked to be added to the agenda. Motion to

approve the agenda with the addition of Kevin’s request

was moved by Supervisor Dave Opack, second by Chair

George Franckowiak and unanimously approved.

Minutes for the April 10, 2017 Town Board Meeting

Public Hearing- The Public Hearing for approval of the

fire department obtaining a lease purchase agreement or

direct loan to purchase a new fire truck will be post-

poned until we hear from the fire department for a new

OLD BUSINESS:

Emergency Plan-Residents Rik Jordan and Jason Nelson

were in attendance to talk about the Emergency Plan.

Vice Chair Nelson gave a little update to Rik as to what

we are proposing as Rik was not at the first meeting.

Rik had sat on a Regional Review Committee and

recommended Vice Chair Nelson contact Paul Lee from

St. Louis County to see what emergency plan they have

in place. Kevin Haberman suggested that Vice Chair

Nelson contact Michelle Robbins or John Muehlbauer

from Minnesota Power. Supervisor Opack inquired as

to whether we should contact the neighboring town-

ships and Vice Chair Nelson suggested that we contact

those mentioned above and plan a meeting with them

and the Emergency Plan Committee to find out what we

need to get the Community Center ready; what equip-

ment we will need; what size generator we will need.

Vice Chair Nelson will follow up with these contacts and

set up a meeting at the Community Center.

P&Z matter-The Variance Hearing is set for Monday,

May 8th at 7:00 p.m. at the Gnesen Town Hall. Gil

Kjorstad talked to our lawyer, Mike Couri, today and

we are still proceeding with the pre-trial that is set for

June 5th for the cabin matter. If the Variance is denied,

the property owner has 15 days to appeal to the Town

Board.

P&Z matter-Our lawyer is writing up an agreement for

the extension to October 1st with the condition no

more cars are brought in. Our lawyer will send the

agreement to the property owner’s lawyer to see if it is

agreeable.

NEW BUSINESS: P&Z Request-Kevin Haberman presented a P&Z re-

quest for additional funding for John Powers to hold

two workshops with the Commission; update our

Zoning Ordinance; clean up the language and include a

new map. Supervisor Opack made a motion to spend

up to $2,500.00 which will include the $425.00 already

allotted for John to look at the Ordinance. Chair

Franckowiak second the motion, all in favor. Kevin will

send Mr. Powers an email stating that the additional

funding has been approved.

Off-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License for Gnesen Con-

venience Store-Chair Franckowiak made a motion,

second by Supervisor Opack, all in favor to approve the

liquor license for Gnesen Convenience Store.

West Pioneer Road speeding problem-We received a

phone call from a property owner about people

speeding on this road and he was wondering if we

could borrow one of those signs, that tell people how

fast they are going, from the County and maybe ask the

St. Louis County Sheriff’s Deputy to patrol that road a

little more often when they are in the area.

Continued on next page...

Page 3

April 24 Minutes continued…

Clerk Haller will contact Vic Lund from St. Louis County

to see about borrowing the sign and she will also contact

the Sheriff’s Department about patrolling the road.

Lawnwood Road-We received a call from a property

owner about the Lawnwood Road washing out. Tom

Haller went there and dug out the culvert that a beaver

had plugged.

Wood ash-We received a letter from the University of

Minnesota that they have reviewed and accepted an appli-

cation to land apply wood ash and/or lime from David

Werner for the Ely Solem property on Church Road and

the Dan Riesland property on Rice Lake Road.

Gnesen Community Center Donation Letter-Forty-four

(44) of the letters have been returned with donations to-

taling $1,395.00 so far.

Quotes for blades for the grader-We have received one

quote and are waiting on another quote.

Gil Kjorstad-Gil stated that he will be retiring as the

Planning & Zoning Officer as of the end of June. Although

we are reluctant to accept his retirement, we will get this

opening on the website and our June Newsletter and start

recruiting for Gil’s position. We will put a thank you in

the Gnesen Newsletter for Gil’s fourteen years of service.

ISLAND LAKE DAM RECREATION AREA

Minnesota Power is replacing five gates at the Island Lake Main Dam as part of its continuing investment in the

Island Lake Reservoir. To ensure the safety of construction workers and the public, the Island Lake Dam Recrea-

tion Area will be closed between June 1 and December 31, 2017, and again between June 1 and December 21 in

2018. The closure includes all facilities at the area, including the boat launch, public beach, parking lots, canoe

portage, and fishing pier that complies with Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility guidelines.

Water levels not affected The construction activity will not affect water levels at Island Lake Reservoir. Water levels are dependent on

spring snowmelt and rains, and the gate replacement project will allow for normal reservoir operations to capture

that runoff into the reservoir.

Alternate recreation sites During construction, Minnesota Power encourages the public to use other recreation areas and boat launches it

operates on Island Lake Reservoir:

• Abbott Road boat launch

• Hideaway boat launch and picnic area • Island Lake Park pavilion, picnic area and beach. The Island Lake Park facilities are designed to be

accessible to people with disabilities

Download a map

A map of Island Lake Reservoir and its recreation sites is available at mpland.com.

The project Five cast iron sluice gates at the Island Lake Main Dam are being replaced. The gates allow dam operators to

control the discharge of water from the dam’s outlet structure. Original to the construction of the dam in 1914

and 1915, the gates are nearing the end of their service life. Island Lake Reservoir is part of Minnesota Power’s hydroelectric system and provides water for wintertime energy

generation at Minnesota Power’s downstream hydroelectric generating stations— Knife Falls, Scanlon, Thomson,

and Fond du Lac. The reservoir also provides water regulation to help mitigate high downstream flows and water

for recreational opportunities and aquatic habitat in the reservoir and downstream.

West Pioneer Road-Clerk Haller contacted Vic Lund from

the County about speeding on West Pioneer Road. Vic

grader so people can’t get into the landing

New Changes to Summer Youth

Program

It is that time of year when we start thinking about our

summer youth program. The program usually starts a

couple weeks after school ends in June and continues

through August. This is a supervised program designed

to keep your children active, by playing different sports

and games, involved, by making new friends in the

community, and entertained, by providing crafts and art

projects for them to do. This year we have hired Jacob

and Angel to run the program and we are changing the

format. We are planning on having several week long

camps running from 8:00 am to 3:00 or 4:00 pm Monday

thru Thursday. If you are interested in sending your

children to the program this summer, please contact

T o n i B l o m d a h l a t 3 4 0 - 4 6 2 5 o r
