5.5. SR 03-22-1993
ITEM 5.5.
TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PAT KLAERS, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: MARCH 17, 1993
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF CITY WATER TOWER SITE
AND SELLING OF CITY PROPERTY
(NORTH OF MNDOT GARAGE)
At the last City Council meeting I was directed to continue to
negotiate with Mr. Rick Foster regarding the purchase of land
for a water tower site and in an effort to sell the City
property along Highway 169 north of the MnDOT garage. All
Councilmembers are encouraged to visit the City site in order
to get a feel as to the development restrictions that exist.
I have met with Mr. Foster on 3/17/93 and will be prepared to
provide the Council with a verbal update on our discussion.
.
The Council should note that Mr. Foster is presenting a
preliminary plat to the Planning Commission on 3/23 and this
plat includes the City property. Mr. Foster can develop his
land north of the City property independent of purchasing the
City land and, if ~o sale goes through, this is what he will be
forced to undertake. Sale of City property to Mr. Foster would
be contingent upon plat approval. The proposal from Mr. Foster
includes two long cul-de-sacs and this may become an issue.
After the 3/23 Planning Commission meeting, we will have a
better understanding as to if the development proposal from Mr.
Foster is acceptable.
