He <br />objects to being charged for two lots as one of the lots he is being assessed for doesn't <br />actually exist. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that this was discussed on the project back in August 1993. <br />He explained that Mr. Gobernatz has a 35-acre outlot and that the access to his homestead <br />is on St. Francis Boulevard N.W. Mr. Gobernatz had sent a letter to that Council meeting <br />objecting; however, the Council felt there was a benefit to that lot and proposed that he be <br />assessed. <br /> <br />Mr. Gobernatz stated "one of my neighbors has as much frontage as I have and he has <br />offered for me to pay on that lot". <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that Mr. Gobernatz has substantial frontage on 177th and St. Francis <br />Boulevard. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmennan inquired if Mr. Gobernatz would be allowed to subdivide Lot <br />6. <br /> <br />Mr. Gobernatz stated that a lot of people could subdivide but they don't. You should not <br />be assessed on what you can do but instead on what you have done. He stated the lot is <br />unbuildable at this time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson inquired if Council could make it contingent upon subdivision of <br />the lots. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that the assessment could be deferred for up to 10 years. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hardin inquired what the policy has been in the past. <br /> <br />Mr. Gobernatz reported that his outlot has no driveway. <br /> <br />City Council/October 11, 1994 <br /> Page 15 of 29 <br /> <br /> <br />
