He wants to sell his house and twenty acres and build on the other twenty acres.

Mr. Dabe was instructed to furnish the City Attorney with the name of his legal counsel so that they could draw up the necessary agreement. Building Inspector instructed not to issue building per- mit until City has opportunity to inspect driveway maintenance agree- ment. Mr. Dabe asked questions regarding the person who is farming the land adjacent to the other side of the ditch and is plowing inside the ease- ment and diverting the waterfiow. Council informed him that the City cannot get involved in private matters, but he should seek advice from his legal counsel. 5,.5 Larry Schmidt - Board Fence at Schmidts Mr. Schmidt did not appear - Matter tabled until later in the evening. 5;;,6 Doug Kruse - Special Use Permit Mr. Kruse owns a home on the west side of Ingersoll Avenue - purchased an additional 2i acres on the east side of Ingersoll Avenue.
