This was brought before the electors at an Annual Meeting in April of 2009 regarding parcels owned by
Bill and Shelly Burchett and Ty Hoeper. Parcel #’s 66-4-120-214-1900 & 66-4-120-214-1891 Below is
an excerpt of the minutes regarding what transpired at that meeting.
April 14, 2009 Annual Meeting Minutes Excerpt: Ty Hoeper came before the electors, on behalf of
himself and Bill and Michelle Burchett, to request that an eighteen foot (18’) parcel owned by the Town,
adjacent to their property, be vacated.
The parcel was originally proposed to be a road, but was never completed. Over the years, erosion,
which was caused by a run off channel, has made the Town’s parcel less than four feet (4’) wide. They
requested that this portion of 270th Avenue be vacated.
Attorney Scholze advised those in attendance that there are provisions that require DNR approval if
access to a navigable waterway is eliminated. How this would be interpreted by the DNR is unknown,
but they should be notified.
