126 August 9, 1976 Council instructed the Clerk to contact the firms that had submitted bids early this year, ask for updated quotes and be available for Council study before the next meeting. It was suggested these bids ne given to the Auditor for comparison. ..The Metropolitan Training Center had asked to be billed on a six months basis for Police Coverage. Chief Myhre had computed the costs for the first six months and the MMTC had been billed. A check for the amount billed, $86.06 had been received. ..The Clerk asked about the returning of the deposit check by the Lino Lakes Lions Club for the use of Sunrise Park for a softball tournament. Mr. Schneider said the Park had been cleaned only the barrels needed to be emptied. Mr. McLean moved to return the deposit check. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Acting Mayor Zelinka reported that he had met with the Centerville Fire Depart- ment. This Department has purchased a new Fire Truck and the rates for next year for Lino Lakes coverage should increase about $300.00. They presented these figures for Council consideration during the budget hearings. A problem with the purchase of and at the end of Deer Pass Trail and the obtain- ing of a building permit for that land had been questioned. Mr. Locher explained the problem. Mr. Prokop and Mr. Jankus had put in a street and had been granted a building permit but the Council had stipulated that only those two permits would be issued for that street until the street is brought up to City specifications. Mr. Jankus has split his land into two five acre parcels and had sold the South half to a Mr. Coleman. Mr. Coleman's plans had changed and he no longer plans to build and had listed the land with Spring Realty. Mr. Mattson had bought the land through Spring Realty who had assured Mr. Mattson that he could obtain a building permit. Mr. Prokop said he is not fighting Mr. Mattson, he is suggesting the street be brought up to specification and assessed against the benefiting property owners with the exception of the present residents. Mr. Coleman's attorney felt the original request had been for three homes, the Council should consider granting a variance and allowing this building permit. Mr. Locher said one of three things could be done; I) could refuse to issue a building permit but should consider the current status of Rolling Hills Drive which is not up to City Specifications; 2) grant a permit with payment to Mr. Mr. Prokop and Mr. Jankus for their portion; 3) allow the permit on the basis that any future construction would be assessed for completion of the street giv- ing credit to the current residents for whatever they have paid. Any building permit would have it include a written document stating that there will be ass- essments. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Jankus and Mr. Prokop what they would consider as a fair solution to this matter? Mr. Jankus said he would accept the Council's decision. Mr. Prokop felt the street should be finished before building permits are issued and their input credited to them. Mr. Coleman felt that some solution should be made since he has a piece of land that apparently he cannot build on nor can he sell - What now?
