The thrust of the recommendation is that the city attempt to secure voluntary easements to provide access to Mr. Stanek's property. If the city is unsuccessful in securing the voluntary easements, the city would then notify Mr. Stanek that the city will not construct a roadway to the site in question at city expense, and if he is serious about development of his property, that he proceed through development and subdivision channels to indicate his firm intent to make a financial invest- ment in this property that would warrant a public roadway. Motion made by Atkinson, Potts seconded, directing the staff to write a letter to affected property owners in the Stanek/NSP right-of-way controvery informing them of the following: 1. The City of Hugo does not build roads at city expense. 2. If Mr. Stanek wishes to develop his property, that he will be required to submit a development plan along with a financial guarantee to confirm his serious intentions. 3. No roadway will be constructed until the city has approved financing and only after receipt of a petition pursuant to Chapter 429 of the Public Improvement Code. All aye. Motion Carried.
