Dave Bahl was present to discuss a two acre building site he owns on CTH "A".
He is requesting a driveway permit.
David Lambert said that the request was denied due to not enough vision at the
site. State Statute says that 500 feet of vision is necessary. David explained that
within 5 years CTH "A" reconstruction is planned and that some grading in the area
could eliminate the current vision problem. He will continue to work with Mr. Bahl
regarding the issue.
For the first month of 2012, Grant County was $94,428.69 in the red for the
maintenance work that we provided on the State Highway System. Total State requisitions
for the first month were $267,214.25 including labor, equipment, materials, & Admin..
Jon presented the 2012 Discretionary Traffic Maintenance Agreement with the
WisDOT for the Committee to sign. It covers signing costs on the State Highway
System. It is for $11,400.00 and represents a 37% decrease from last year. The
crews have been out cutting brush, and due to a large amount of road salt still on
hand in Dubuque the County could be buying it for less and have it for next season.
