Councilmember Rowley questioned if the owner of the property was
concerned with getting the most lots possible out of the subdivision.
Mr. Sjodin replied that the owner wished to keep the plat as it
was, with five lots.
Administrator Achen recommended that the Council decide if Fairchild
Avenue should be extended to the south, to decide if the 30' easement
was required.
Acting Mayor Baumgartner asked if a petition had been presented for
the street. Administrator Achen replied that one had not been received,
and that it would require 35 percent of the property owners requesting
it before a public hearing would be set.
Mr. Werner stated that while he approved of the plat, he did not feel
the street would be asthetically pleasing.
Engineer Hubbard reported that if the street were put in, only two
lots could be assessed, which would amount to approximately a $14,000
assessment per lot for the street only, or about $33,000 total for
both lots for the street, sewer and water.
Mr. Sjodin stated that at approximately $16,500 per lot, the assess-
ments would exceed the actual value of the property. He stated that
he would be willing to give the easement if it was necessary but that
he would prefer not giving it if the street was not going to be put in.
Acting Mayor Baumgartner stated that the 30' easement on the east
side of the property line would also have to be vacated if the street
was not put in.
Councilmember Ziebarth asked if any easement would be required for a
walkway to the park. Engineer Hubbard replied that a 30' easement
should be adequate. Councilmember Rowley added that she would like
to have the 30' easement taken as it might be required in the future.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he would like to see the 30'
easement taken.

PROJECT 1978 -1 STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS - PENDING DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
Administrator Achen reported that project 1978 -1 provides storm sewer
trunk capacity for future development but until the Council acts on
the project, developers do not know whether they can handle drainage
needs by simply connecting to the 1978 -1 system, and recommended that
all pending development proposals for which a development agreement
