Councilman Shelquist read the Planning Commission minutes relating to Al Hillsdale's
subdivision request. He read a letter from Mrs. Haake, Chairperson of the Planning
Commission. Mr. Hillsdale said he was assessed and taxed for land under the
lake and has paid on this for 28 years.
Engineer Bearden stated Mr. Hillsdale's setback would be 40 feet from the lake
while the other houses are 70 to 80 feet back.
Mr. Hillsdale said the assessed value of his homestead now is $25,000. He has
tried to sell it, but person's that could afford the house payments couldn't
afford the taxes.
Councilman Hodges asked what the water table was.
Mr. Hillsdale said it is 8 feet.
Councilman Baumgartner said his concern was that the house would be only 40 feet
from the lake.
Councilman Shelquist suggested Council wait for the decision of the Rice Creek
Watershed District, which apparently has jurisdiction in the matter.
Mayor Johnson suggested Mr. Hillsdale take his request to Rice Creek Watershed
and then come back to Council with it.
Mayor Johnson polled the Council.
