<br />with his property back without the drainage and utility easement on it. There have been plans <br />drawn out that show the option of a vacation or partial vacation of the easement. He stated at <br />this p.oint the City is missing a key person he talked to. <br /> <br />Chairperson Elvig suggested the abstracts and the Asmussens' concerns regarding the drainage <br />and utility easement be reviewed by the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Mr. Steven Liekhus, 15000 Helium Street NW, stated he is stuck with a $35,000 assessment on <br />one buildable lot due to his decision on how he wanted his house to sit. His house sits over both <br />lot lines and his garage is on the center line. The way the lots were laid out there was no way to <br />put the style of house he wanted without evaporating the lot line, so he made two buildable lots <br />with one that was still able to be sold. He has water and sewer stubbed out the front of his house <br />for the time when it would be available. He stated a $35,000 assessment takes him right out of <br />the picture. The last time he was here he said there has to be a deal on the table that he cannot <br />walk away from, and he can walk away from this one. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Olson asked if the previous feasibility study would be a deal Mr. Liekhus <br />would be willing to entertain. <br /> <br />Mr. Liekhus replied he would think about it. His youngest daughter is a freshman in college, he <br />will be retiring, and at that time he will be out of here. At this point there has to be a decent <br />number to make this work. <br /> <br />Mr. Murphy expressed a ~illingness to consider spending more on his assessments to lower the <br />cost to Mr. Liekhus due ~o the immediate development aspect he would have. . He pointed out <br />I . <br />this would also help the City recoup some of the cost sooner. <br />I <br /> <br />Public Works Director Olf.on suggested the possibility ofmi~zing the project to the east area <br />and continuing to the cul-de-sac of 150th Lane. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson JIVig, seconded by Councilmember Olson to direct staff to revise the <br />feasibility study with the I following options: 1) Encapsulate Helium Street coming south from <br />the Meadows, heading n~rth one lot, and continuing south and east to the cul-de-sac of 150th <br />Lane for sewer and watet and road improvements; 2) Option #1 with road improvements from <br />CR 5 to the abutting lot lline; 3) Cost share for sewe~ and water improvements on the stub of <br />150th Lane. . . <br /> <br />Motion carried.
