A spokeman for Interstate Engineer suggested returning the plat to the City Planning Commission.<\/p>\n

Mayor Andersen said she has concerns with the plat complying with the City Ordinance, including access relative to bringing the road to grade, public access, and water and sewer issues.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rhonda Gjesdal (JESS’-dahl) of rural Luverne was found Saturday in one to two feet of water about 200 yards from her farmstead.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Wayne Beckman says Rhonda Gjesdal left her farmstead Thursday en route to Wahpeton.<\/p>\n
