LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 5, 1985 PAGE 2 Mr. Mazzara would like a public hearing to decide if the City wants this property based on the Certificate of Title and on the abstract that it is deeded to the Public for highway purposes. If the City decides they do not want this property, Mazzara and Taylor would like the City to vacate the property. Mr. Richard Durand owns 3 1/2 acres in this area and has no access to Lake Elmo Avenue. Mr. Durand asked if the City would buy this property and was answered that the City does have the opton. Since the City Council just received the Certificate of Title showing the description and easement this evening, the Council directed the City Attorney to research the matter and report back to them at the next meeting. M/S/P Dunn/Morgan - to table this item until the next City Council meeting in order to give the City Attorney time to research this matter. (Motion carried 4-0-1<abstain: Mazzara>). B. Teal Pass Estates 3rd Addition: Request for Partial Release of Escrow Deposit City Engineer Bohrer reviewed his correspondence to the Council, dated October 31, 1985, in which he recommends the original letter of credit be reduced to $47,930. j M/S/P Dunn/Morgan - to release $51,320 from the Developer's Letter of Credit for Teal Pass Estates 3rd Addition, Sherril and Ken Neudahl. (Motion carried 5-0). C. Fill Permit Request: Demontreville Highlands, Third Addition City Engineer Bohrer reviewed his correspondence to the Council, dated October 31, 1985, in which the proposal to provide fill for the separation from the groundwater table for septic system purposes is requested for Lots 1-4, Block 2, DeMontreville Highlands 3rd Addition. Evidently, this area had been filled and compacted during the construction of the subdivision and now the natural soil conditions are unsuitable for septic system purposes. The Developer's grading plan was supplied to the City Engineer after the cutoff date for including materials in the Council packet, therefore the City Council has not had an opportunity to review the grading plan in detail. Mr. Kurt Laughinghouse, Representative from Derrick Land Co., presented pictures of the houses in the neighborhood showing that all the lots except their four lots at the southeast end slope up from the street. This is what Derrick proposes, a gradual slope. up from the street to the first floor level of the house.
