The 60 car 2208 Montag, Chrisitn of Dustin Virkus survived for 2320 Anderson, Jamie the win. Joe Martin had an2509 Rausch, Michelle other strong showing at GCS 3105 Waggoner, James but didn’t have enough to top 4101 Henning, Michael Jeremy Jutz for the second 4111 Newport, Jason spot in the feature.

4124 Olson, Rebecca The Super Stock feature 4317 Arens, Alyssa was the most crowded field at 4412 Begg, James the green light. Twenty three 4420 Ray, Randy cars funneled onto the track R-27-2B

dominated by four. Sabraski, Denis Czech, Dave Mass and Dexton Koch battled at the front time and time again as cautions and carnage riddled the race. Koch was eventually sent to the back for causing a late caution which took him out of the running for one of the top spots. The final restart saw the Sabraski’s 7A car get a great jump and he was able to hold off late charges from Mass and Czech. Only 13 of the original cars finished the 20 laps.

Street Stocks saw a tight race as Justin Vogel used a great jump from the start moving to the high side from drop of the flag getting out into the front. Vogel, making his return to the GCS, made his car as wide as possible trying to hold off the rush behind him, where he saw the 11K car of Davey Kruchten filling up his mirror throughout the race. But a late push from the 01 of Justin Pogones pushed him into the second spot passing Kruchten.

Eric Lamm started on the inside of row one for the Midwest Modified feature and he didn’t look back from there. It was the lone feature in which Sabraski entered but did not win as he finished for the feature which was a distant second to Lamm’s

strong car.

The Mod Fours saw a dictated performance from Keith Thell. As Thell found his way to the front, he dropped the hammer and led to the checkered flags. Laramie Peiker held off Dean Larson late in the race for the second spot.

The final recap of features has a familiar name atop as Sabraski came from the middle of the pack in the Modifieds taking home trophy. While the 7A car was running hot, Jeremy Nelson and JT Johnson were battling behind him trying to reel in Sabraski which proved to be too much Friday night.

The second night of the two-evening event featured tight races, a finish for the record books in the Super Stocks and another grand performance in the Mod Fours.

One of the tighter and better races of the night was in the Hornet feature as the 46SSG ride of Dannie Burkholder started off in pole position with Friday night’s winner Dustin Virkus stacked behind him in the three hole.

From the start those two pulled away and were nose to rear throughout the 12 lap race. Although it was tight,

Burkholder held off the 60 car of Virkus going wire-towire as Paul George finished in third.

The Modified feature was a star-studded card that literally saw flames halfway through when the 40X car of Charlie Hillukka caught fire down the front stretch. After the fireworks the man of the weekend, Sabraski, pulled away from the field clinching yet another win on the holiday weekend. The battle for second was a spirited one as Clayton Wagamon edged out Alex Englestad on the final lap.

Keith Thell’s performance repeated that of Friday evening’s win in the Mod Fours. Thell and the 00T once again moved from the three-spot to the front and pulled away to win the race.

The battle of the feature was for the next spot as Adam Prieve in the 9 car was able to top Dustin Holtquist down the stretch.

The street stocks featured a small but fast group on Saturday led by the 11K of Kruchten. Krutchen, who won his heat earlier in the night, jumped out to a quick lead, with Pogones and Kevin Schmidt battling for second. Kruchten won and

Schmidt edged Pogones by a nose for the runner-up.

The Midwest Modified feature was once again led by the 7A of Sabraski who was quickly out in front after starting in three-hole. As the race wore on, the only two able to keep pace with 7A was the 3 ride of Ryan Studanski and 88 of Lamm. Sabraski and his machine were too much as he rode once again to victory lane.

The craziest finish of the night was also the slowest. The first 18 laps of the 20-lap feature in the Super Stock class went as expected.

Three cars led the way, Sabraski, Czech and the 2 car of Mass. As they were headed to a fantastic finish, the race couldn’t avoid the sudden caution flag. Four different green-white-checkered restarts couldn’t get off the ground. Finally on the last try, the race finished under caution with Sabraski being the car out in front, Czech in second and Mass in third.

Granite City Speedway will once again be open Friday, July 8th for “Meet the Drivers” night with doors opening at 5:30 and races starting at 7 p.m.

PUBLIC NOTICES REGULAR MEETING SAUK RAPIDS CITY COUNCIL SAUK RAPIDS GOVERNMENT CENTER, 250 Summit Ave N. Monday, June 13, 2016 MINUTES 6:00 p.m.

Call to Order and Pledge of Allegiance Mayor Brad Gunderson called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Members present: Ellen Thronson, Kurt Hunstiger, and Nick Sauer. Members absent: Steve Heinen.

Additions or Changes to the Agenda Councilperson Sauer requested to add Sauk Rapids Recreation Board as agenda item 12-A. Todd Schultz requested to add Telecommunications and Cellular Siting Moratorium as agenda item 10-A. Schultz noted that a missing page from agenda item 8-D was added to the dais prior to the start of the meeting.

3. Approve the Agenda Motion: Moved by Councilperson Sauer and seconded by Councilperson Hunstiger to approve the Agenda as amended. Motion carried unanimously.

4. Approve Minutes A. 5-23-16 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes Motion: Moved by Councilperson Thronson and seconded by Councilperson Sauer to approve the 5-23-16 Regular City Council Minutes. Motion carried unanimously.

B. 5-31-16 Special City Council Meeting Minutes Motion: Moved by Councilperson Hunstiger and seconded by Councilperson Thronson to approve the 5-31-16 Special City Council Meeting Minutes. Motion carried unanimously.

5. Receive and File NONE 6. Mayor’s Communications • Moment of Silence for Orlando Victims—Mayor Gunderson requested a moment of silence for the victims of the Orlando nightclub tragedy. He noted that his thoughts and prayers go out to the families impacted by this tragedy.

7. Audience Items/Visitors Total Time Limit 2 Minutes for Items NOT on the Agenda NONE 8. Public Hearings A. Applicant Benton Crossing, LLC Purpose To Consider A Conditional Use Permit To Allow A Large Amount Of Fill Material In The Downtown District. Located At 50 8th Street North, 700, 701, And 709 Benton Drive North 1. Open Public Hearing Todd Schultz noted that tonight’s request is to place fill from the 2nd Street project in the Downtown District located at 50 8th Street North, 700, 701, and 709 Benton Drive North. Schultz said that the Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in most zoning districts. However, the D1 District is silent on fill. Schultz stated that it is staff’s opinion that this request would fall under those uses that are considered by the City to be similar to other uses allowed in the D1 District, which requires a CUP. The Planning Commission has unanimously recommended approval with the following conditions: 1) Raise manholes, catch basins and hydrants where necessary, to new elevations.

2) Mark existing gate valve and curb stop locations with metal fence posts.

3) Provide erosion control.

4) May need to dedicate wider easesment for sanitary sewer if depth of fill requires it.

5) No fill within 25 feet of the railroad ditch.

6) The site shall be graded such that drainage is to the interior of the site, and not the streets.

Proper erosion control shall be provided prior to discharge to the storm sewer system, or the drainage ditch to the west.

7) All fill to be compacted to a standard that would allow for development.

8) The property be maintained without needing to be noticed by the Sauk Rapids Police Department.

9) Rocks on site be removed as part of this project.

Nate Landwehr, Landwehr Construction, noted that the rocks that are on the property will be hauled off of the site and used elsewhere.

Councilperson Hunstiger asked about the compaction testing that will be done. Landwehr stated that ITT will take compaction tests on the building pad and the parking site. Landwehr explained that the intention of the property owner is to bring the elevation up and make the property more fit for development. ITT will put together a letter following their review of the site.

Robert Aurelius, 51 8th Street North, discussed the memo that his son sent to the City Council regarding the concerns about raising the elevation of this property. Aurelius noted that this area has flooded in the past due to tremendous rainfall. He explained that his own property has flooded before. Aurelius stated that for the City to allow overfill on this piece of property it would endanger his property once again. He said that the fill would create a flooding problem. Aurelius explained that his concern is that he is a small business owner and he feels like the additonal fill is not necessary in this location. He stated that he is not against enhancing this site as he believes that it would be a very beautiful area if the poperty was properly enhanced. Aurelius said that his preference would be that this property is graded to the same elevation as his property. He concluded by asking that the City Council take his thoughts and concerns as a successful business owner into consideration. He stated that he has been in business for over 25 years and he has a considerable investment into his business.

Mayor Gunderson asked staff if they had any concerns regarding the action requested. Pete Eckhoff said that there is storm sewer in the lot, so there should not be runoff into the streets.

Terry Wotzka said that he met with Aurelius’son, Mike. Wotzka stated that the property flooded back in the 80s. He noted that since the Benton Drive Improvements, the occurrence of higher water did taper off. There is a storm sewer in place parallel to the railroad tracks. Wotzka said that from a hydraulic standpoint, he doesn’t think that tonight’s action would make anything worse. He noted that this property is not in a flood plain, and he did not think that this additional fill would harm the property from a flooding standpoint. Wotzka pointed out that improvements have been made to the railroad drainage ditch. He said that Public Works will make sure that the ditch is cleaned out properly.

Aurelius said that the railroad ditch is overgrown and does not drain properly. He noted that he is very familiar with this area as he works near this location everyday. Aurelius stated that the action requested feels like a railroad attempt to get this property taken care of. Aurelius said that more attention should be paid toward this property than what is being shown.

2. Close Public Hearing Motion: Moved by Councilperson Hunstiger and seconded by Councilperson Sauer to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously.

3. Consider Action Councilperson Hunstiger asked if Engineering was comfortable with the proposed work.

Wotzka said that did not see the proposed work causing any issues from a drainage standpoint.

Councilperson Sauer asked about the fill being brought in. Wotzka noted that he doesn’t know if the exact fill amounts have been determined as of yet. Wotzka thought that from what he has

heard that the fill would bring the elevation 5 to 6 feet above existing.

Nate Landwehr explained that the grades on site will start with a 6-7 foot fill near Benton Drive and slope down toward the railroad ditch to where the catch basins are and then slope back up to contain the water on site. Landwehr thought that there would be 3-4 feet of fill near the catch basins.

Motion: Moved by Councilperson Sauer and seconded by Councilperson Hunstiger to approve the Conditional Use Permit with the conditions outlined. Motion carried unanimously.

B. Applicant City of Sauk Rapids Purpose To Consider An On-Sale Intoxicating License, Special Sunday License, On-Sale Wine, On Sale 3.2 Beer License, Off-Sale 3.2 Beer License, and Seasonal Outdoor Sales Within the City of Sauk Rapids For The License Year of July 1, 2016—June 30, 2017 1.

driver of the No. 22 car in the Hornet class at GCS this past May. “I was excited,” TJ said.

The Hornet class is designed to promote the sport of racing to new and inexperienced drivers. Those racing a Wissota-sanctioned Hornet event are not allowed to participate in other classes. This gives drivers the full opportunity to learn with others on a level plain.

TJ does not have a Minnesota Driver’s License, but on the race track he doesn’t need one. Instead, drivers need to be licensed by Wissota.

“There are quite a few kids under the age of 16 who are racing with the Hornets,” Tom said. “Even though he doesn’t have a drivers’ license, he has a racing license.”

Now the driver, TJ counts on the pit crew of his dad, D.J. Bluhm and Phil and Jordan Henkemeyer to perform the duties of preparing his car to race. He focuses on his mental game and keeps himself calm and collected.

Because driving his car is still new to TJ he chooses to line up at the back of the pack rather than drawing a position and running side by side with the other cars.

Yet even though, TJ may round the final turn four in the last position he’s right where he wants to be — in the driver’s seat, racing.
