Council Members present: Bisel, Marier, Bohjanen, Reinert. City Administrator, Randy Schumacher and Clerk- Treasurer, Marilyn Anderson were also present. City Engineer, Ron Stahlberg arrived at 6:30 P.M. Rice Lake Estates - Mr. Schumacher explained that Mr. Arvid Gearman owner of Rice Lake Estates called him several times to explain that homes in this plat are not selling. He is requesting that the Council issue him a variance to build stick built homes on the undersized lots or if this is not feasible, replat to make the remaining lots R -1 sized rather than R -7 size. He suggested to Mr. Schumacher if neither request were granted by the Council, then he would move in some "nice looking" double wide homes. Mr. Schumacher told Mr. Gearman he would let the Council know of this situation. Mr. Reinert told the Council that the homes being marketed for this area were overpriced. Homes in the range of $70,000 to $110,000 would sell very well. Mayor Benson suggested this could affect the present home owners since their homes are much higher priced. Mr. Schumacher said Mr. Gearman may come in with a replat. The IIICouncil said they would then have questions for the City Attorney to consider. 4th Avenue Assessment Policy - Ron Stahlberg - Mr. Stahlberg handed out a letter and a map regarding 4th Avenue.
