NEW BUSINESS REMINDER, Reception for Mayor Landers and Council Member Kuether, Tuesday, December 30, 1997, 5:00 p.m. 801 Main Street - Council Member Kuether indicated a problem with the manner in which the request for a minor subdivision by North Suburban Development was handled at the December 15, 1997 Council meeting. She expressed dissatisfaction with a Staff recommendation that an alternate septic system site be provided by the applicant, stating that the City had never made that requirement of any previous applicants in similar proposals. Council Member Kuether stated that she had been informed that North Suburban Development stood to incur costs of approximately $1,000 to satisfy this requirement. Council Member Lyden explained that in moving to approve North Suburban Development's minor subdivision request his intent was that a qualified City employee would visit the site and determine an appropriate alternate septic system location. Council Member Kuether explained that her primary concern is the appearance of discrimination on the part of Council requesting that North Suburban Development comply with this additional request as a condition of approval of its project. 6
