MINUTES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 26, 1992 Favis asked why the Krahn property is being allowed to make extensive improvements. The City Planner noted that this property is large and ordinance requirements are being met. Favis was informed that the City Planner would be at City Hall next Tuesday. It was suggested that she make an appointment to discuss her property with staff at that time. Scalze also asked that the City Planner research the legality of stepping improvements. Collova stated that he supported the Planning Commission recommendation to amend the Comp Plan. Blesener agreed, pointing out that the designation of the area as open space is a very long range plan. Blesener stated that if there are properties that burn down and cannot be rebuilt or are dilapidated to the point that they cannot be rehabilitated, the City may have to get more involved financially. LaValle pointed out that it is not the intent of the Council to change the zoning of the area or to create financial hardship on the property owners. Gail Hagen pointed out the existing condition of 34 Little Canada Road, and asked what plans were for that property. It was pointed out that there are concrete girders extending from that property into the Hagen property, soils have been disrupted and there are erosion problems. Hagen suggested that an outcome for 34 Little Canada Road needed to be established. Blesener pointed out that if the area is designated as open space in the comp plan, this may allow the City to do some things it couldn't otherwise. Collova agreed, when the value of a structure drops to zero. Scalze felt that the existing condition of 34 Little Canada Road needed to be addressed. The City Administrator suggested that the property be evaluated under the hazardous building code. There was no one else from the general public wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by LaValle, seconded by Blesener, the public hearing was closed. Page 16
