Ms. Hanson said she was told that across from them the lots were unbuildable, but there are houses on some of them now. Mayor Gamec said a new ordinance went in about two years ago and if these lots are brought up to standard, then they will have to pay an assessment at the time they apply for a building permit. Ms. Hanson said there are very few people who have to drive on 179th. City Engineer Raatikka said looking at the soil, it wouldn't meet the city ordinance and the DNR wouldn't allow that area to be developed. Ms. Hanson asked if the owner of that property was being assessed anything. City Engineer Raatikka said the owner is being assessed one unit. PUBLIC HEARING October 15, 1980 Page 1
