He discussed the following <br />possible redevelopment areas in the City: <br /> l'ineview Estates North: There are typically four to five houses for sale at one time in <br /> this area. A possible financing plan to redevelop this area would be for the City to <br /> purchase a parcel that is for sale, complete a lot split, and sell the portion of the lot with <br /> the house on it. This sale would include an easement agreement that would allow a drain <br /> field with an agreement to hook up to municipal sewer and water when it becomes <br /> available. This type of program could enable the City to purchase parcels in this area <br /> very inexpensively over a four to five year period. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / October 4, 2005 <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
