With Acting Mayor, Fran Fair, presiding, the meeting was called to order.
Administrator Eidem explained to the C uncil that Mr. Wayne Brinkman,
representing National Bushing, had giv n an oral indication that he
would purchase the old Fire Hall site, excluding a parcel where the
City's pump house is located, for the ity's asking price of $88,000.00.
Eidem noted that certain easements wou d be required to be placed over,
under, and across the property in ques ion. Councilmember Bill Fair
asked that he be brought up to date on the easements required. John
Simola, Public Works Director, explain d that a utility easement would
lie across the northwesterly 54 feet 0 Lot 4, and that a separate utility
easement would lie across the southeas erly 18~ feet of Lot 4, and that
a 15-foot alley easement would lie acr ss the northwesterly 15 feet
of Lot 4. Simola also noted that a re trictive covenant, prescribed
by the Minnesota Department of Health n order to protect the water
quality in and around the pump house, ould be required.
Councilmember Fran Fair asked if there were any known problems with
the structure. Staff responded that t e structure was sound but would
be remodeled to accommodate National B shing. Councilmember Bill Fair
stressed that simply because the conve ance was occurring with City
acting as the seller, there were no va iances or permits automatically
guaranteed outside of the Zoning Ordin nee. Eidem acknowledged that
any building permits would have to go hrough the regular process, and
that the sale of the real estate provided no assurances of development
other than those guaranteed by the Zoni g Ordinance itself.
Councilmember Maxwell felt that the ask"ng price agreed upon between
Eidem and Brinkman was extremely reason ble considering the limitations
being placed on the property by both th easements and the covenant.
