The property fronts on Highway <br />10 and the rear of the property abuts the railroad track. He stated that <br />Mr. Shenk has already sold this parcel to a gentleman who is using the <br />property to store cars and plans to construct a building and operate a car <br />sales business on this .parcel in the future. <br /> <br />Councilman Reimann questioned if a car sales if the best use for the property <br />and if it would add to traffic problems. <br /> <br />Mr. Kyyhkynen said it is compatible to anything else being sold in that <br />vicinity at present. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec mentioned the fact that some easement should be provided in the <br />front and/or back for a future service road since other parcels along Highway <br />10 have been required to dedicate-such easements. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox asked Mr. Kyyhkynen to comment in regard to Mr. Shenk not being <br />aware of the City's subdivision ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Kyyhkynen said Mr. Shenk wasn!t aware of the subdivision ordinance and that <br />a year ago he sold a piece of his property to Mr. Kovar without going through <br />the subdivision process. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox reported that at the time of the Kovar incident, Mr. Shenk was <br />informed at that time of the City's subdivision policy. It was suggested to <br />him then that for his own benefit, he might want. to go ahead and provide a <br />plat for his land. <br /> <br /> <br />
