COUNCIL BOARD OF REVIEW APRIL 10, 1990 checked with the City Building Inspector who has investigated the matter. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has indicated that the property is buildable. however, Mr. Gotwald says the deed to the property contains a statement from the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) indicating that the lot cannot be built on due to a water run off easement. The Building Inspector has indicated that if the deed is recorded with this stipulation, a building permit cannot be issued. Mr. Neinaber asked Mr. Gotwald to supply a copy of the deed to him with this stipulation. He will then adjust the value so that it is similar to the lot across the street. Mr. Neinaber told the Council that he has already adjusted the value to reflect the amount of fill needed to correct the lot. Mr. Gotwald will contact Mr. Neinaber and provide a copy of the deed. Ronald E. Palmen, PIN 25-31-22-42-0003 and PIN 26- 31- 22 -31- 0006. The Assessor has valued the first parcel (23.2 acres) at $72,000 and the second parcel (2.40 acres) at $16,500.00. Mr. Palmen explained that both the parcels listed above are vacant parcels and he has had them listed for sale at $4,000.00 per acre. He has been unable to sell them for this price. He also explained that he has heard that if there are low areas and areas of ponding on the parcels the Federal Government will in a few years issue a mandate that these parcels cannot be taxed. Mr. Neinaber explained that he has not heard of this mandate and noted that it would take a great deal of cooperation between the State and Federal Government before it becomes a reality. Mrs. Palmen will contact Mr. Neinaber tomorrow and arrange a meeting at the property. Mike Winge, 590 Marshan Lane, PIN 17- 31 -22 -24 -0022. This parcel is a vacant lot and Mr. Winge noted that the value had increased from $5,500.00 in 1988 to $14,200 in 1990. Mr. Neinaber asked if this lot was buildable. Mr. Winge said he did not know because it drops off into a swamp. Mr. Neinaber will talk to the Building Inspector to determine if this is a buildable lot. Mr. Winge gave Mr. Neinaber his telephone number. The Council took a recess from 7:22 P.M. to 8:00 F.M. while waiting for Mr. Varner, the commercial assessor.
