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