Admin. Achen stated that the Planning Commission approved the plat.
The major question involved is when to require removal of the
structures. We have to assure that the house is removed without
imposing too stringent conditions upon the property owner. Planning
Commission recommended July 1.
Mayor Johnson inquired as to whether he would enter into a develop-
ment agreement with the city and a bond, so that the city can be
assured that it will be removed.
Mr. Buzzel said that had not been raised before so we haven't
given it any consideration. Mr. Sakariason has been waiting on the
outcome before he relocates. The whole thing is conditional upon
the approval of the subdivision. He is assured that I have a buyer
and he has received a down payment.
Mayor Johnson explained that the only reason we have a bond is to
act as an impetus to make sure that you have the home removed by
July 1. Mr. Buzzel said that he would agree to that.
Atty. Meyers stated that the Council cannot approve a subdivision
that creates a violation of our subdivision ordinance. Admin. Achen
asked if the contract could be made airtight to meet the city's
requirement so that the sale can go through prior to the filing of
this plat. Approval would be on the condition that the buildings
be removed. That way you would protect the buyer, the seller and
the city.
Atty Meyers stated that he could only envision a development contract
and posting a bond for an agreement where the city could go in and
demolish the building.
Mr. Buzzel stated that they hoped to break ground on the 25th of
this month. The buyer's home is already sold and the financing
of this new home has a deadline of July 1. If it isn't granted he
cannot get a building permit which would hamper building of the home
on Lot 1.
MSP (Johnson- Hodges) that we approve the major subdivision of Selmer
Sakariason for property on Sunnyside Rd. between Ardan Ave. and
County Rd. J, subject to the home being removed on the proposed
Lots2 & 3 and the garage being removed on Lots 3 & 4 prior to final
approval of the proposed major subdivision and the recording thereof.
