April 10, 1978 Page 5 <br />the moratorium was imposed. He added that his bowling alley was scheduled to open <br />in September in time for league bowling and that if he was not able to open by then, <br />he could face financial ruin. <br />Mr. Hall added that he cannot get the financial committment from his bank until they <br />see his building permit, nor could he order any materials until the issue is decided, <br />and that construction must begin this month if he was to be open in September. <br />Mr. Hall asked that the Council lift the moratorium, taking into consideration his <br />circumstances and that fact that he was issued a building permit for this same project <br />last year. He added that his water runs directly into Rice Creek and would not cause <br />any problems for anyone. <br />Mayor Pickar pointed out that Mr. Hall had made some changes in his plans and thus, <br />they would have to go back to the Planning Commission for their review before the <br />Council could act on them. He added that the Planning Commission would be reviewing <br />them at their April 12 meeting. <br />Mr. Hall asked if he would be able to go before the Council at their April 24 meeting, <br />assuming that the Planning Commission okays his plans at their April 12 meeting. <br />Mayor Pickar replied that he could and that the Task Force would hopefully make <br />their recommendation to the Council so the Council could act on the issue on the 24th. <br />Mr. McCarty stated that he felt the City Engineer should be able to judge if the <br />project would harm the City at all and the Council should act on his recommendation. <br />Mayor Pickar added that if the project is approved, the Council will set up require- <br />ments for the developer to meet. He also asked that everyone try to work together <br />rather than against each other. <br />Mr. McCarty asked that it be included in the minutes that he felt Councilmember <br />Baumgartner started the dart shooting. <br />Ernie Gustafvson, 2525 Cty Rd I asked how long the moratorium would be imposed. <br />Mayor Pickar replied that they weren't sure yet and that hopefully a decision would <br />be made on April 24. <br />AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREMENT 77 -10 - GROVELAND TERRACE <br />Administrator Achen reported that the developer, Mr. Harstad would like to put up <br />one or two model homes prior to the improvements being completed by the end of May. <br />Mr. Todd, representative for Mr. Harstad, stated that when the plans for the develop- <br />ment had been approved the previous fall, the improvements were in on Fairchild but <br />not on Groveland and that a development agreement was prepared saying that develop- <br />ment would not take place on Groveland until the improvements were in. He added <br />that all the houses on Fairchild were in and sold and that there was a good housing <br />market presently and that they would like to begin the homes on Groveland now, so <br />that they would be finished before the next school year started, and thus would like <br />to begin construction now before the improvements were completed. He added that <br />no one would be living in any of the homes or driving on the streets until the <br />improvements were finished and the street in. Mr. Todd explained that the homes <br />would not be finished until July or later. <br />
