Members Absent: Shirley Anderson
2. _Public hearing on Sandberg East, Improvement Project 90-04.
AND
3. Consideration of a resolution ordering improvement accepting
bids and authorizing contract --Sandberg East.
Mayor Maus reconvened the public hearing that was continued
from the day before regarding this matter. No one from the
public was present.
Staff reviewed the presentation made to Council during the
previous meeting. Council reviewed the terms associated with
establishing the assessment against the 17 lots associated
with the Sandberg East development at $92,000.
John Sandberg stated that he will be doing a replat of the
Sandberg East development which is complicated by the fact
that the Nelson mortgage must be released from the old plat
and placed onto a new plat, which is a somewhat complicated
and expensive undertaking. He also stated that the overall
plan for the area makes better use of the land and is a good
idea.
Ken Maus asked if Vic Hellman is intending on developing homes
in the Sandberg East development. John Sandberg replied that
Hellman does have plans for development in the area and would
like to dig some basements this fall.
Fran Fair asked if the five lots that the assessment is being
placed against would be adjacent to each other. John Sandberg
mentioned that he would prefer that option. She also asked
what type of quality housing is planned. John Sandberg stated
that the price and the size of the lots will dictate the value
of the homes. In addition, dealing with one builder helps in
maintaining the character and caliber of the housing in the
area. Fran Fair noted that the City needs to develop housing
with higher market values.
