Mr. Perry stated that his firm reviews every aspect of the development to ensure there will <br />be no problem down the road. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich suggested that would be the case for a large development of say 100 lots or <br />so, but in this case, there are no problems anticipated and, therefore, no legal fees. He <br />reiterated that this property is already platted and zoned and these conditions do not warrant <br />legal fees. <br /> <br />Mr. Perry again asked that Council not agree to this project. <br /> <br />John Haubrich, 15156 Nowthen Boulevard N.W., Ramsey, stated that 100 feet of his <br />property "kind of" belongs to the City - it's a drainage easement and cannot be built on. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski suggested that could be vacated. <br /> <br />Steve Croteau 5939 - 151st Lane N.W., Ramsey, stated that his land was also encumbered <br />by a drainage easement. That cuts down on available land for development and he inquired <br />if there would be any compensation due to that. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski reported that the City is looking to put a retention pond on Mr. <br />Juskiewicz's property where the bulk of the drainage easement is. The lots are extra deep <br />and can accommodate the drainage easement. <br /> <br />Mr. Croteau inquired about placing a shed in that area of his property and asked if that <br />drainage easement would prevent him from doing that. <br /> <br />Mr. Sankowski responded that the drainage easement itself now prevents him from being <br />able to do that. <br /> <br />Jim Green, 5858 - 151st Lane N.W., Ramsey, stated that all kinds of figures have been <br />quoted this evening. He commented that he looked at land down by 147th and the lots <br />there were going for about $35,000 to $42,000 per City lot. They virtually have no back <br />yards and they are building $200,000 homes there. The lots in the Haubrich Addition are <br />much more desirable and $35,000 to $40,000 seems to be pretty much in line. He <br />suggested it is time to move ahead. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin inquired of Mr. Schroeder and Mr. Goodrich if they are "comfortable" with <br />the numbers in the appraisal to which they replied in the affumative. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to adopt <br />Resolution g95-10-235 ordering Improvement Project g95-14 (Municipal sanitary sewer, <br />water extension, storm sewer, and street improvements to Haubrich Addition). <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson and Beahen. <br />Voting No: Councilmembers Beyer and Zimmerman. <br /> <br />Case ~v2: Water/Sewer Connection Requirements <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder stated that at the last meeting, Council briefly discussed <br />existing properties receiving extensions to the water/sewer connection requirements. At <br />that time, Council asked for some additional information. The Metropolitan Council's <br />policy is that there be a two-year time frame for connection.
