Summary
At its Aug. 5 meeting, the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved a speed-study resolution and instructed the clerk to send a signed copy to the MNDOT Engineer. During public comment, resident Ryan Soderholm urged the board to avoid raising the rebuilt road or taking yard/driveway area and said he would work with the township on a drainage easement.
Silver Creek Township supervisors approved a speed-study resolution at their meeting on Aug. 5, 2025, and directed the clerk to email a signed copy to the MNDOT Engineer.
The action followed public comment from resident Ryan Soderholm, who raised concerns about an upcoming road reconstruction. Soderholm told the board he did not want to lose any additional yard or driveway when the road is rebuilt, saying the current right-of-way does not line up with the existing road and that the rebuilt road should not be raised because access to his property is already difficult. He also said a drainage easement across the south side of his property was discussed and that he is willing to work with the township on that easement.
The transcript records the speed-study resolution being read and that all supervisors were in favor; no mover or seconder for the resolution is noted in the minutes. The clerk was instructed to send the signed resolution to the MNDOT Engineer for the agency’s review.
The meeting opened at 7:00 p.m. with Supervisor Ryan Nelson calling the meeting to order and the Pledge of Allegiance. The board adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the clerk will email the signed speed-study resolution to the MNDOT Engineer. No vote roll call or detailed resolution text appears in the transcript; the resolution text was not specified in the minutes.
