69
Economic Development Coordinator Backman introduced Gary Nordness and Jim Melcher from 70
Pro Craft Homes. He then reviewed a timeline of the development process with Council. 71
72
Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated that Pro Craft has been in negotiations 73
with neighboring property owners but was unable to come to terms with them for the purchase of 74
additional property to add to the development. He then presented Plan C to Council indicating 75
that the plan would include only the City owned and controlled parcels. 76
77
Jim Melcher presented Plan C to Council indicating that the Fyksen property involved more 78
wetland issues than they wanted to deal with and Mr. Vik decided he wanted to stay. 79
80
Mr. Melcher indicated that the raw cost of the lots not including the Fyksen property is up to 81
$117,000 per lot. 82
83
Mr. Nordness indicated that they are seeking preliminary approval of a plan by the City before 84
undertaking any more engineering work. He then confirmed that the Fyksen property would have 85
a significant amount of wetland and fill issues. 86
87

Regular Meeting Page 3
Commissioner Marty asked whether park dedication fees would be applicable. 88
89
Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated that is usually a cost of the owner of the 90
property but, in this case, the City owns the property. He then asked for feedback on the project. 91
92
President Linke indicated that he is disappointed that the developer could not bring the other 93
property owners in but he feels that Plan C is a viable option. 94
95
Mr. Nordness indicated that both property owners have been very congenial but they have 96
different perspectives of what their land is worth and what the developer can afford to pay. 97
98
Commissioner Quick asked if there would be an issue with water and sewer and storm sewer into 99
a cul-de-sac. 100
101
Economic Development Coordinator Backman said he does not envision anything but said the 102
water and sewer line go around the block so it could be accessed at a few different points but it 103
makes sense to come from H2 as the land drains to the south. 104
105
Commissioner Quick said his main concern is looping water and asked whether the City 106
Engineer looked at it. 107
108
Mr. Nordness indicated that water can be looped around the cul-de-sac road and out to H2. He 109
then asked whether this plan is acceptable to the City. 110
111
Commissioner Quick indicated that this plan is not acceptable to him nor were the others as he 112
does not feel this is the highest and best use of this property. 113
114
President Linke thanked them for their time. 115
116
Blaine Fyksen indicated he had talked to Mr. Backman and informed him that he met with 117
another developer and wanted to make sure the City knows that he has a deal with another 118
developer that is three times the amount these gentlemen offered him and he has an earnest 119
money check in hand. He then said he is concerned and does not want the City to sell itself short. 120
He further commented that if this property is developed there would be other landowners that 121
may be willing to sell. 122
