I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Further discussion: Councilmcmber Zimmerman inquired if casements can bc put on thc plat. Mr. Goodrich did not think so but they could be shown as drainage and utility easements. He stated we are limited as to what we can show on the map. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbcrtson, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beyer, Hardin and Pcterson. Voting No: None. Case #14: Concept Approval/Option Agreements City Administrator Schroeder stated that there is a company that has made an announcement that it's locating in Ramuey. He referred to a map enclosed with the case and stated that they have expressed a desire to locate on what is shown as Lot 1. They arc not interested in the parcels thc City can currently make available on thc Eggum property we are purchasing. Also, currently, Uranium Street N.W. does not provide access to any marketable site, nor will it prior to thc proposed February ground brealdng. Mc stated he has been working on a trade for land north of that area that thc City already owns but he felt it would not occur because the owner of thc property has not decided ff he will expand to thc north or west. Mr. Schroeder stated he is looking for options. One is thc site mentioned, one would be a portion of the 12-acre site the City owns to the north of that lot and thc third would be a site west of these lots. He stated that the second site has an additional "wrinlde". To make thc site enhanced, it might make sense to acquire the "Amie Cox" site from Waste Management. We would move property divisions of our existing site. He stated he is not sure ff he can make this issue any more clear but stated he would llke the ability to negotiate an acceptable purchase agreement for what turns out to be the chosen site and that he would like Council to introduce thc ordinance which says the City of Rarn.qey is intending to sell its ownership on any lots mentioned in the ordinance. The intent is that prior to thc adoption of this ordinance, thc issue of ownership Mil be "put to bed". Motion by Councilmcmber Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Z~mmerman to authorize the City Administrator to enter into a purchase agreement on the chosen property. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Peterson, Zimmerman, Beyer and Hardin. Voting No: None. Motion by Councqlmember Pcterson and seconded by Mayor Gflbcrtson to introduce thc proposed ordinance authori~ng sale of acquired properties. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Counc~lmembers Peterson, Beyer, Hardin and Zimmerm~n. Voting No: None. Case Request for Preliminary Plat Approval of Town Houses of Rum River Hills; Case of Wilbur Dom and Thomas Anderson Zoning Administrator Prolik stated that Wilbur Dom and Thomas Anderson arc requesting preliminary plat approval of "Town.houses of Rum River Hills" which is proposed to replat Lot 1, Block 2, and Ouflot C, Rum River Hills, into 12 town house lots. The 12 units would be served by on-site septic systems and wells. Park dedication will be satisfied by a cash payment. The town houses are proposed to be served by a private road. Although the City is not the enforcing agency, the City will be requesting to be provided with a copy of the covenants for furore reference and to ensure adequate attention is given to the details of how the private road will be maintained and the course of action in the event of septic system failures. The developer has submitted a Landscape Plan that proposes to establish a berm planted with trees between the town houses and several adjacent homes to the west.
