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.
