19 September 26, 1977 itan Waste Control Commission and the State Board of Health. III Mr. McLean wondered if this would cloud the issue before the Hearing Examiner on the sys- tems Statement and Mr. Locher felt that it would not. After some other discussion, Mr. McLean moved to approve this extension. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher asked for a copy of the petition. 1 1 Mr. Locher had checked the abstract dealing with the plat of Otter Lake Estates and found some minor mistakes that must be corrected before the plat can be filed. There is also a problem with stakes on the southern most part of the plat being placed 7' too far north. This will need to be corrected. The old road will have to be vacated and the new road est- ablishes a 60' right -of -way but 66' had been turned over to the City. All these things are to be corrected by the surveyor. Mr. McLean said the suggestion of changing the matter of park dedication in the area of coll- ecting money in lieu of land had been discussed at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting and it had created mixed emotions amoung the members of that Board and the motion that had come out of that meeting had recommended the dedication continue as is and on a fee basis on individual lots. Mr. McLean felt this put the problem in the hands of the Council. There was some discussion on property values and how to resolve this problem. Mr. McLean asked this matter be put on the agenda for October II, 1977 and each Council member present his suggestions on this. The Clerk is to put together some examples of how this could work - both on an individual lot basis and on the 10% land value method. It was also sugg- ested that she contact some surrounding communities as to how this is handled in those comm- unities. The fact that if land is split by meets and bounds, the City does not receive either 10% of land or money. Another point - if money is taken at the time of platting, it is all received at once; on a per lot basis, it could extend over a 4 or 5 year period. The pros and cons will be'.diiscussed at the next meeting. It had been noted that Mr. Lichtscheidl, on Main Street, had expanded his business to the point where he had a franchise. The P & Z felt he should apply for a special use permit. Mrs. Anderson has mailed the form to him. The Towing contract as presented by Mr. Alan Strobeen was discussed with the pros and cons of an exclusive contract being the focal point. The storage of the vehicle and the type of insurance carried by Mr. Strobeen was also discussed. Mr. Schneider felt this could be tried on a short time basis - Mr. Karth suggested six mon- ths. Mr. Strobeen suggested a three months trial basis. Mr. Karth moved to award an exclusive towing contract to A l's Towing Service effective October I, 1977 through Janaary 9, 1978. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried un- animously. Mr. Strobeen will get a copy of insurance to the Clerk's office. Mr. McLean moved to approve requisition #779. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried un- animously. Mr. Karth questioned the check to Margie Roisum for mileage and expenses for attending school. The Clerk said this was a class requirement for Assessors. Mr. Karth said he had no object- ions to paying the expenses but but felt these matters should be cleared with the Council ahead of time. This will be conveyed to Mr. Kelling and Mrs. Roisum.
