All the excavated dirt will be used <br /> for landscaping purposes around the Gutheridge' s home. <br /> The applicant has tried to excavate this pond for the past few <br /> years, however, a portion of County Ditch 28 runs through the <br /> proposed excavated area. Before the City could approve the <br /> project, the applicant needed County approval . Sherburne <br /> County was planning a study of County Ditch 28, therefore, the <br /> proposal was put on hold until the study was completed. The <br /> study was never conducted and the County Commissioners recently <br /> acted on this request. On July 6, 1993, the Sherburne County <br /> Board of Commissioners formally relinquished its claim for <br /> 4111 County ditch and drainage purposes for the portion of County <br /> Ditch 28, owned by the Gutheridge' s . A copy of minutes from <br /> that meeting are attached. <br /> P.O. Box 490 • 13065 Orono Parkway • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br />
