1.1 LETTER FROM TOM CASEY, RE:
DOVE LANE.
CITY'S SALE OF PROPERTY AT 1721
Mr. Casey was present and asked if there were other properties on
the Park & Open Space Commission's inventory list that would be
sold. He also asked what would happen to the money that will be
received from the sale of the above property.
The Council explained the history of the parcel that was sold:
1. The parcel was an undersized lot which had a
substandard house. The City took the owner to court
and the court gave the City three options:
a. Allow the owner to rehab the substandard house; or
b. Allow the owner to build a new home on the
undersized lot; or
c. Purchase the lot from the owner and have the house
torn down.
The City chose option c. and decided to sell the parcel to an
adjoining property owner to be combined with their property. It
took from 1985 to 1991 to sell the parcel and recover part of the
cost of the purchase price ($9,000). The parcel sold for $8,000
and that money will be returned to the General Fund Balance.

1.7 RESOLUTION TO ADD "NO TRAILER PARKING" SIGNS ON THE SOUTH
SIDE OF BARTLETT BLVD., EAST OF COUNTY RD. 110.

between the driveway at 5573 Bartlett Blvd. and the driveway at
5661 Bartlett Blvd. where there is blacktop curb. Cars with wide
boat trailers are parking in this area and the trailers often
times are out onto the roadway. This is creating a hazard and
needs to be addressed. The Police Chief has recommended that the
Council adopt a resolution that would state the following: "No
Trailer Parking" on the south side of Bartlett Blvd., east of
County Road 110, from the driveway at 5573 Bartlett Blvd. to the
driveway at 5661 Bartlett Blvd. where there is a blacktop curb.

1.11 APPROVAL OF EXTENSION OF OPTION CONTRACT WITH ANTHONYWS
FLORAL. DISCUSSION: SOIL SANPLES/ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
- ANTHONYeS FLORAL PROPERTY.
The City Manager stated that a 60 Day Option had been agreed to
for Anthony's Floral property. That option needed to be
exercised by June 24th. The City was having soil borings done,
water sampling and an environmental assessment and those reports
were not available until late last week before this Council
meeting. The City Manager went to Mr. VanDerSteeg on Thursday,
June 20th and asked for an 30 day extension of the Option
Agreement. Mr. VanDerSteeg agreed verbally. An extension was
taken to the VanDerSteegs on Monday, June 24th and they were to
deliver it to the city on Tuesday, June 25th. At a meeting
earlier this evening, Mrs. VanDerSteeg did not want to sign the
117
117
June 24, 1991
extension.
They wanted to get another appraisal to make sure they are
getting a fair price.
The city and the VanDerSteegs agreed on the original appraiser
and each paid half for that appraisal which came in at $70,000
less soil corrections. The City offered the VanDerSteegs
$71,000, plus paying the 2nd half taxes for 1991 and special
assessment.
The City Attorney reminded the VanDerSteegs that when the City
Council allowed them to fill the area there was a deed
restriction put on the property that it is not a buildable site
and no one can apply for a building permit. The Engineer stated
that the cost of improvements to develop the site would be
substantial.
The City Engineer reviewed the soil report, water sampling report
and the Phase 1 environmental assessment all of which indicate
that the site is alright to use for the stockpile of materials.
He revised his original estimate to prepare the site for the use
based on the soil report from $142,000 to $160,500.
The City Attorney also pointed out that the City needs to work
with Huber regarding the easement to go around Tony's building.
MOTION made by Ahrens, seconded by Jensen to authorize the
Mayor and City Manager to exercise the option based on the
original terms and based upon the oral agreement of Mr.
VanDerSteeg. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion
carried.
The City Attorney stated a letter will be sent to the
VanDerSteegs asking that they respond on or before July 9th.
