Attorney Filla explained there is a Lot Line Adjustment Ordinance that will be discussed at the end of agenda, and if adopted, this land would not need to be platted. The cost of lot has gone up substantially. In the agreement the use is restricted by the property owner, the property owner is to pay all costs and fair market value. The residents understand that a home cannot be built upon it, but they want to be able to put up a garage or a gazebo. Mr. Rude is different and clearly intending to propose a parcel for a buildable lot with connection to a collector system. Prew would have to look into such a request. Kueffner stated Mr. Catalono will have to see if their land perks and believes there is junk and debris buried in that property. Steve Peterson did find that their lot perked. Council member Armstrong stated the Council was told this was an urgent manner and have not been told who is on the 201 system, who has a new system or who is pumping and need to be hooked up to a 201 system. Tom Prew added we may have other land that might be better suited for a system Attorney Filla asked the Council if it was opposed to freestanding garages on these lots? Council member Siedow answered if the City sells the property to them then they should not have any restrictions. Council member Dunn said these lots have existing houses and already have garages, but they could put a shed on the property. There would have to be enough land set aside for an alternate drainfield. Council members DeLapp and Armstrong stated the draft agreement restricted structures being built on this land, but a gazebo or a small shed could be permitted. C. Mark Hugunin, Met Council Mark Hugunin reported that the Regional blueprints are being reviewed. In January or February the draft policies will be on the website for unofficial comments, Mr. Hugunin said he would like to get feedback on rural issues. The land availability issues won't go away. The Council thanked Mr. Hugunin for being an integral part in the turnaround of the Met Council. 4.
