c.       Chairman Smith informed the board that he had done some measuring on Hill Drive which dead ends at the Tony and Sally Steffen property and thought the road could be graded out to 15 feet in width with providing a width of 25 feet at its intersection with Cedar Drive, which dimensions would conform to the town’s driveway/culvert ordinance specifications.   Smith stated he had conferred with Scott Koehnke of the D.N.R. and because of the location of wetlands on both sides of the road coming in from its intersection with Cedar Drive the town could not make a wider road.  The Steffens were present and asked that they be notified if the spruce trees along the roadway would have to be removed as they would like to move them to their property.  The Steffens were informed that they would have to provide a turn-around on their property in the area where the town road dead ends that conforms to specifications in the town’s driveway/culvert ordinance.  Smith informed the Steffens that the town would have the work done this summer.
