MINUTES City Council March 11, 1981 Mr. Regnier stated that if there were an assessment hearing, the Guz9k's wou1d not be opposed by paying their assessmen~. Mr. Regn~er also informed the Council of a court case invo7ving the C9ty of Arden Hills. In the case, the City made a mistake in granting someone a building permit. There was another request for such a permit, which the City denied. The Supreme Court said that even though it was against the City's ordinance to grant such a permit, someone else received the same approval, and the permit must be granted. There cannot be unequal treatment. Mrs. Scalze stated that if the City assessed the Guzik's for water improvement on Schletty Drive, it wou1d have to show in the property's legal documents, so that if the property were sold, the new owners would be aware of the assessmen~. P4rs. Scalze a1so pointed out that the City Flttorney was not yet present at the meet~ng, and the Counc91 should not be speaking about legal matters without the Flttorney present. Mr. Forsberg, in referring to the court case involving Ar~en FIi11s, stated that he did not 1ike the idea of being told a city must make the same mistake twice. Mr. Hanson commented that Sch1etty Woods is a small neighborhood and eventual1y water wi11 go down th~t street. Flanson was concerned that the City would create a~isservice to the other residents of Schletty Woods by allowing the Guzik's to hook up to City water on Little Canada Road. Flanson felt that perhaps ~he City should call for a hear9ng on the improvement of Schletty Drive by watermain. Mrs. Nardini pointed out that the City is considering a major water project this year, and Schletty Drive cou1d be included. The Engineer stated that if a hearing was he7d on Schletty Drive, and watermain was ordered, the Guzik's could hook up on Little Canada Road right away because the improvement was already ordered for Schletty Drive. Counci1 decided to table further discussion of the matter until the Attorney arrived at the meeting. Linden Mrs Mona Cusick appeared before the Council requesting the property Property division of some property located on Lake Gervais which is owned by Division Mrs. Linden, Mrs. Cusick's grandmother. Mrs. Scalze felt that removal of the garage located on the property should be made a condition of any property division. Mrs. Nardini pointad out that a 4 inch variance would be required should the property division be approved. The P7anner suggested that the property 1ine be moved so that the property division would result with a 76 foot 1ot being created. In this way a variance would not be necessary. Page -4-
