MINUTES <br />City Council <br />May 12, 1987 <br />Scalze noted that the Army Corps of Engineers has indicated that <br />the Johnson/Mosted property is limited in use, and park is the <br />only use of this property they will allow. <br />Fahey also noted the fact that the School District has Capital View <br />on the market, and the possible loss of these facilities. <br />Jerry ftutler reported that he owns 17 acres formerly known as the <br />Sweitzer property, and that in 1979 he had 5 test holes dug. These <br />tests indicated the soils were suitable for 2,000 pound footings and <br />could support a semi-light structure. Butler indicated that he has <br />a site plan and lay-out planned for the property, however, has not <br />gotten started on this development. Butler also indicated that he <br />i.s interested in acquiring the property to the north as part of the <br />development. <br />Butler indicated that the bad soils encountered by Larry Lee could be <br />localized, and noted that he has found this in other locations. <br />Butler stated that if the City was willing, they should have some <br />soil tests done to develop an underground topo of the area. <br />Scalze noted that if Butler was not interested in the location of a <br />park on his property, the City would not want to take soil tests on <br />this property. <br />Butler reported that he would provide the City with a copy of his soil <br />tests, and indicated that he did not run into the same types of soils <br />that Larry Lee did on his property. <br />Fahey asked if Butler could build within the existing zoning of the <br />property. <br />He replied that he could <br />Fahey felt there was no reason to proceed with soil tests due to the <br />information provided by Mr. Butler and the fact that Mr. Butler has <br />plans for the development of the majority of the area. <br />Scalze noted the property to the south of Butler. <br />Mrs. Bibeau indicated that she was interested in selling her property <br />located east of the section line. Fasciana also indicated that he <br />would like to sell, however, felt that poor soils would not be discovered <br />on his property. <br />Fahey noted that there were about 14 acres located south of the Butler <br />property and north of Montreal Courts. <br />Council discussed access to the site and felt that access from Centerville <br />would be preferable than Desoto. <br />Page -5- <br />
