Councilmember Strommen inquired of Mrs. Kaas' reaction to the idea of an easement with some <br />restrictions on it. <br /> <br />Mrs. Kaas replied she is reluctant to offer her reaction .without her husband being here. She <br />would need to discuss it with him. <br /> <br />Councilmember Eh, ig asked Councilmember Kurak if language being included with restrictions <br />that there not be any development until all tl-u:ee parties want to develop would satisfy her <br />concerns. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak replied the restrictions do not affect her; they affect the peoPle that live <br />there. Whether there was to be an a~eement on one year or 20 years, there could be a boom and <br />there would be a road going ttzrough there. She is objecting to paying for an access to someone's <br />home and setting a precedent. <br /> <br />Councilmember Eh, ig stated this Council required an easement fi'om Mr. Bauer on the ghost plot <br />of his property. It is a contradiction to say they will never do an easement here when this Council <br />already decided there will be one. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen commented she thinks Councilmember Kurak's Concern is with who <br />is paying for the easement, and why the City would be paying to condemn one property owner to <br />give access to another. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook questioned why the whole Council thought it was okay to have a road go <br />down to 15 1st and okay a ghost plot that ran a road tl2'ough, and now that they have trouble with <br />the easement they do not want to buy it. He stated they are trying to skirt something because they <br />do not want to pay for it, but it is their problem. <br /> <br />Councihnember Ziminerman stated lie does not see this as the City's problem; it is the <br />dex eloper s issue. Mrs. Kaas does not want her land to be condemned for a road and it should <br />not be. Mr. Bauer has access for his property. <br /> <br />Coul~cilmember Elvig suggested an addition to Councih'nember Cook's motion to include a <br />restriction to state that the easement remain as a driveway up until a point where ail tl2'ee of the <br />property owners a~'ee to develop that property. <br /> <br />Councihnember Cook indicated the motion could include a requirement that the Trappers Ridge <br />subdivision will not be developed until City sewer and water is available there. <br /> <br />City Attm-ney Goo&Sch advised if condemnation becomes necessary, 110 days are required prior <br />to the City being granted access unless the Kaas or Mr. Dusbabek will grant the City authority to <br />use the access. <br /> <br />-128- <br /> <br />City Council/July 27, 2004 <br />Page 16 of 35 <br /> <br /> <br />
