The administrator stated that the Rosenquist Addition extends from Spring; Lake Rd to the West City boundary. They have asked for a subdivision into 3 lots; 2 on the East side of Pleasant View Drive and one on the West side of Pleasant Drive, and to create two outlots. The Planning Commission has recommended approval and the staff recommends that the outlots not be allowed to be created because they are substandabd. Mrs. Bonin, 8360 Pleasant View Drive, stated that it would not be an outlot;it would be transferred onto her property. Ad. Achen stated that once that is created it is still a separate piece of parcel and would have to be taken off the county records as a separate parcel. Atty Meyers stated that they could add it on to the lot instead of calling it an outlot. The plat would include Mrs. Bonin's lot also but it would be expanded to include the outlot. Ad. Achen stated that the staff recommenec,d that Outlot B be made a part of Block 1. The problem is they would pick up 80 feet more of assessments. It would be an economic advantage to having it go to back taxes. Ken Sjodin said that he had talked to the man who owns the land directly to the East and there is no chance of buying it. From the citizen's point of view this is obviously the only way of platting it. Ad. Achen said that there is no simple solution. We either protect the City or reduce the cost to the property owner. Is there any way that that assessment could be deferred? Atty Meyers replied that that is legal in certain circumstances Mr. Sjodin stated that if the outlot is left on you still have the assessments that have to be paid some time. If you do it that way they have lost the potential of buying that 80 feet from the other owner where they could have realized a sale. From the City's point of view he did not feel it would go back to back taxes.
