?92 Council Meeting January 24, 1983 Mr. Reinert asked for a clarification of the material to be requested from the Planning and Zoning. Mr. Marier said a reassessment of the moratorium, the necessity of splitting those lots and how the Ordinance requiring one acre lots can be protected. Mr. Hawkins said if there is something unique about this parcel then it could be granted but if there is nothing unusual about the lot, then how can this be justified. Mayor Benson suggested that Mr. Hawkins attend that Planning and Zoning Board meeting in order to present the Council's concerns. LeRoux - Variance to Ord. #85. Mr. Bartholdi appeared to represent Mr. LeRoux. He presented history of this land and noted the reasons for the request. This land is located to the South of 64th Street off Otter Lake Road. This involves several pieces of land of various sizes. There are four parcels of land - two with deeds recorded and two that are unrecorded. The request is to combine these four parcels into two parcels. After some discussion, Mr. Reinert moved to grant the variance in order to clear up this situation and the recommendations of the Engineer be followed. Mr. Hawkins added that the lots will be combined and that there were existing contracts before the moratorium was passed. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bartholdi requested that a portion of Mr. LeRoux's fees be refunded since he has paid in 1980 and in 1982. He said he had come to register the deed in 1980 and had been refused. Mr. Hawkins pointed out that the law had not been written in 1980 and the County would have recorded and deed. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to have Mr. Schumacher check into the history of the payments and costs and report back to the Council. Seconded by Mr. Reinert. Motion carried unanimous ly . A recess was called at 8:15 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 8:25 P.M. ATTORNEY's REPORT Mr. Hawkins had no report. LINO LAKES /CIRCLE PINES BUILDING OFFICIAL's CONTRACT Mr. Hawkins reported on this agreement that he had drafted. This had been modified by the Circle Pines' Council. This provides for this service to be provided for a fee of $14,500.00 for the year 1983. Circle Pines had added a portion that allows that City to renegotiate this figure if the building permits are not up to what they expect. The inspector would be paid 65% of the permit fee if any category of construction was exceeded per the contract. Mr. Marier had a question on the fact that Circle Pines would not be liable for any accident to Lino Lakes' employees while working in their City. Mr. Hawkins explained this. Mr. Reinert felt that this amount had been taken into consideration at budget time and he wondered how this could affect the budget. Mr. Marier moved to approve the contract as originally written with the stipulation that cost figure be $14,500.00 and if Circle Pines has a hardship that they come before the Council and present the hardship. Seconded by Mr. Reinert.
