Mr. Kolstad requested a building permit for one lot in the Air Park. He said the owner has arwrtgage committment that expires soon. Mr. Kolstad has not completed the bond for the installation of the streets. It was suggested that he obtain a letter of credit or a road bond for the necessary footage to reach this lot and then the building permit could be issued. Mr. Locher reminded the Council that the lot cannot be transferred to a new owner until the plat is filed. Mr. McLean moved to have the Clerk contact Mr. Gotwald for the cost of installation of the necessary footage and get the figures to Mr. Kolstad this week. Sec- onded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gene Mobley, Building Inspector, was in the audience. He read a portion of a letter from the PCA approving an asmosis septic system for areas where regular type systems will not work. He asked the Council for consideration of an Ordinance that would require all contractors who operate within the boundaries of the City of Lino Lakes to be licensed and bonded. He felt this is necessary to protect the home buyers. Mr. Mobley said the amount of the lic- ense fee is not important, but the bonding is. Mr. Mobley also requested the Council to consider a 'disclosure ordinance', relating to the sale or transfer of all properties within the City. This would apply to empty land as well as existing homes. The Clerk was instructed to call the League of Minneosta Cities for sample ordinances on these matters. Mr. Zelinka so moved. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. These samples are to be forwarded to the Attorney and presented to the Council for consid- eration. Mr. Zelinka suggested that a letter being written by the Building Inspector be very clear and concise. He had read a couple that were not clear in their meaning. 1
