Public Works Director Olson indicated the current developer had to request a variance for the cul-de-sac length. The City can require that the road be constructed in its entirety as part of any plat coming forward~ Councilmember Elvig stated he supports the idea of an add-alternate as suggested by Councilmember Dehen. He agrees with the cost factor comments the Mayor was making alSQ, but the add-alternate will enlarge the pool of applicants. He inquired about adding language that the house is available for rental property within a certain timing notification. Mayor Gamec stated he would like to backtrack on the suggestion regarding renting the property, as one of the things the neighbors said ,:vas that they were hoping the City would not rent the ~ouse or just leave it there. Councilmember Dehen verified with Public Works Director Olson that a benefit to doing this is the ability to eliminate a lift station. Councilmember Jeffrey stated he is sensitive to the idea of renting the property, but the minute that happens there could be an inferred deal where someone buys the house and may not be able to afford to move it. He would recommend selling the house for relocation. They will also need to determine the real cost before having the City do the filling. They need to move forward and sell the structure, figure how to make the lot nice, and be done with it. .
