COUNCIL MEETING June 10, 1985 Page Three speed. Mayor Benson said it would be difficult to monitor. Who would do the monitoring? Mrs. Elsenpeter explained that Elbe Street sometimes seems to be a drag strip. There had been such a sign on Elbe and it made no difference in the traffic speed. 1 Mr. Davidson explained how the state determines speed limits in its speed zone study. The speed limit is established by the speed people are driving on the street. They use 80% of the average of the driving speed. Therefore the residents could establish a re- duced speed limit by driving slow during the speed study. Mr. Bohjanen moved that the road department and Mr. Davidson take a deep look at this and bring the information back to the Council within the next 30 days. Mr. Kulaszewicz seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. B. Donald Nelson - Lundgren Property - Mr. Nelson has received a developers agreement prepared by Mr. Hawkins for the Lundgrenprop- erty. He feels this agreement does not fit the situation. He has talked to both Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Schumacher about this. The areas in question: 1) The contract lists the developers as Robert and Juliet Lundgren. Mr. Nelson explained that once the Quit Claim Deeds are executed Mr. and Mrs. Lundgren will have no interest in the property. Mr. Hawkins said this subdivision is no different than a plat and developers platting property are required to sign a developers agreement. Mrs. Lundgren explained that she and Mr. Lundgren are not dividing the land. Mr. Nelson explained that one party is buying the buildings and 16.9 acres of land and four other parties are buying the remainder of the land and will sbudivide in- to separate parcels at some future date. Mr. and Mrs. Lundgren will not even have an interest in the future subdivision. Mr. Nelson said the only reason they came to the City Council with this plan is so they can be assured of subdividing the remaining parcel into four (4) lots some time in the future. 2) The developers agreement states the road will be installed within a certain period and the develop- ers must post a letter of credit insuring this road will be installed. Mr. Nelson explained that the prospective buyers do not know when they will put in the road, if ever. Mr. Hawkins said the problem then would be if one of the land locked lots would be sold to someone new who was not aware the City required an improved road before a build- ing permit could be issued. Mr. Nelson said their deed would con- tain this information. The new buyer would be aware immediately that he could not build a house without a road. Mr. Hawkins said as of now the Lundgrens have in a sense plat ap- proval. They could make up the deeds and not record them until such time they want to build the road. When the road is installed the deeds then can be stamped and recorded.
