6 September 12, 1977 the amount of $7,500.00. This money will be made available to the City as soon as the contract is let and the County has had a chance to review the contract. On the same subject, the Clerk read a letter from the Griffin Company. A per test done on Lot 15, Block 4, had been done and forwarded to the City. They are asking for either approval or denial of building permits on the lots on the West side of the lake. Mr. Gotwald pointed out, this area would fall under the control of the Shorelands Manage- ment Act, and there could be problems with the depth of some of the lots. It might be necessary to combine several of the lots in order to fullfill the requirements of that act. Mr. Ken Erickson, who has purchased Outlot B on the Lake Side, and has applied for a building permit was in the audience. Mr. Erickson is aware that he cannot obtain a build- ing permit until the street is surfaced. However, he wants to get started on his home by the 1st of October. The participation of the property owners in the costs of surfacing the street was dis- cussed. Mr. Zelinka said if this can be done in this manner and avoid a formal assess- ment procuedure, it could take a lot of time and cost more. As to the answer to the Griffin Company, Mr. McLean moved to have Mr. Gotwald look at Lot 15 for specifics and report back to the Council. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carr- ied unanimously. There was discussion of the costs of surfacing this street with Mr. Gotwald coming up with a figure of approximately $2.00 per running foot. Mr. Zelinka moved to send a letter to all property owners, giving this cost figure, telling them this must be an unanimous agreement on their part, and the money must be paid to the City or be put in escrow, any amount over and above the $2.00 per running foot the City will assume the costs. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Zelinka suggested Thursday, September 22, 1977 at 8:00 P.M. for the meeting. The Council agreed.
