COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 26, 1990 will have to be completed. Several landowners would be involved in the assessment for this improvement. Mr. Smith has contacted the adjoining landowners and has received petitions from two other landowners. There is one landowner that is objecting to the assessment at this time because he believes that his land is unbuildable. It was noted that if a benefit to the property cannot be determined, the land cannot be assessed. Mr. Boxrud explained that the Council can approve the minor subdivision and variance subject to the results of a feasibility study and public hearing. The Council could also table approval of the minor subdivision and variance and order a feasibility study. If the project is feasible, then the Council could consider the minor subdivision and variance application. Mr. Smith presented a plat map to the Council and pointed out the existing streets and the connector street. Mr. Boxrud noted that normally the City would order the feasibility study and the cost of this study would be incorporated into the assessment. However, if the improvement failed, the City would bear the cost. Mrs. Jill Katzung, owner of the property that may be unbuildable (lots 30 and 31) asked if granting Mr. Smith the subdivision tonight gave him added advantage when assessments were considered. Mayor Bisel said no. Mayor Bisel also noted that if her land is unbuildable, she cannot be assessed. Mrs. Katzung will be notified if the improvement is feasible and if a public hearing is called. Council Member Reinert moved to approve the minor subdivision as outlined in the Design Review Board application No. 90 - 04 and the variance as outlined in application No. 90 - 05 subject to the conditions as outlined in Mr. Boxrud's Green Sheet, Option No. 1. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve Resolution No. 05 - 90 ordering a feasibility report for this area. Council Member Reinert seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 05 - 90 can be found at the end of these minutes. Minor Subdivision and Variance, Stephen and Laurie Schwartzbauer - Mr. Miller explained that this is a request to split a one acre lot fronting on Sunrise Drive into four sewered lots. This request is similar to many others that the Council has acted upon during the past several months and is of a routine nature.
