Case #4: Approve Agreement to Extend City Utilities to Lot 1, Block 1, Gateway North Industrial Park, Plat 4 and Authorize Closing/Transfer Title on the Property City Administrator Schroeder stated that the purpose of this case is to ask for authorization for the development agreement with Raymond Renner, prospective owner of the Ramsey Athletic Club; authorization for the development agreement with a machine shop; and authorization to sell land to that machine shop. He stated this relates to two different developments; however, they are being treated as one case because they are intertwined due to the utility lines. Finance Officer Hart stated that with the sale of the Ramsey Athletic Club, the new owners are being forced to hook up to City sewer and water. The new owner, Mr. Ray Renner, is suggesting if the City purchases the land to the west of the club, he could extend his utility line and the City could give him credit for the SAC/WAC charges. Of the approximate $58,000 cost to install sewer, he is proposing rather than give credit for all, they donate labor and we pay for material cost up front; it nets out the same. Mr. Raymond Rennet was present and stated that the past owner of the Ramsey Athletic club left a fairly viable business and the bank had 60 months to run it. They now have to get rid of it. Twenty-two percent of the cost of the building is tied up in utilities. He stated that in discussing this with City Engineer Jankowski and Finance Officer Hart, it was determined that there may be a way we could put a flow meter on the well to see what the building does do. The sewer is being pumped every other day. He stated this proposal would help both the City and him out. He stated he is asking for help with the cost of the materials. He contacted W.B. Miller to give him an estimate. The sewer line is about 125 feet to the neighbors - 820 feet end to end. The pool does not drain into the drainfield; there is no drain on the pool. He stated he is hoping to come up with the flow meter and that he would like to see the use of the water down. He added that the well is about ten Finance Committee/September 12, 1994 Page 3 of 6
