The City will pursue the purchase of or easement to, a narrow piece, wide enough to gain access and. operate in. Mr. Rogers may want to trade the well site for a parcel south of the tennis courts in Lions Park. The Council prefers to purchase the 90'x 2,5' parcel the well house is located on. No additional money will be spent until an agreement is reached to buy the parcel or an easement is secured, then, authorization will be needed for $$1500 to complete the work on the well and pump. G. Larson Variance — The Administrator wanted the Council to be aware that the original site plan had to be revised, as the lot is 10' shorter than indicated on the approved site plan. Although the area, for the septic system is reduced, Dr. Machmier says there is still adequate area for two systems that are more than adequate for the house. No new variances are required as the house and septic system are no closer to the lake or the road. This inaccuracy was caused by Larson's using Dr. Machmiers sketch for the site plan, rather than the survey. R. Legion Pond — Larry Bohrer recommended the City withdraw their DNR permit application. The Administrator will do this.
