MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING • <br />HELD NOVEMBER 14,1995 <br />Goetten asked for direction with the Bouchard property on Shoreline Drive as she had also received <br />a call from the property owner. Kelley suggested a Letter of Credit so that if the MUSA line does <br />not go through in two years, a new septic system could be installed. Moorse also suggested a Waiver <br />of Appeal in terms of assessing the property owner for the cost of sewer installation. <br />Potential Availability of the Hennepin County Library Property at Old Crystal Bay Road and <br />Highway 12 <br />Moorse lead a discussion of the City's interest in the Library property. Goetten felt the City should <br />purchase the property so they had some control over what was developed on the site. <br />Kelley asked the size and cost of the property. Moorse responded that it was two acres, appraised <br />at $227,000 in 1994. <br />Hurr asked about the possibility of selling other City properties. Moorse commented that a letter had <br />been received by Mr. Harstad who lives near McCulley Road. He expressed an interest in <br />purchasing property that was excess right -of -way after McCulley Road was constructed. One four - <br />acre buildable lot and two smaller lots are available. The property has a potential value of $120,000 <br />or more. Gerhardson noted this parcel was almost five acres in a five acre zone. Mabusth added that . <br />a variance would be required for building but noted that Mr. Harstad did not want to build on the <br />property nor did he want anyone else to build on it. Harstad also hopes to acquire a parcel from Ken <br />Turnham. With the acquisition of two smaller parcels owned by the City, he would have a <br />connection to the Turnham property. <br />It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Hurr, to purchase the Library property and investigate the <br />sale of the McCulley Road property. Vote: 3 ayes, 1 nay. Kelley opposed the purchase of the <br />Library property as there are many properties that could be bought for $227,000. Moorse confirmed <br />that the City would review the appraisal and other similar properties to determine a value for the <br />property. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />It was moved by Mayor Callahan to adjourn at 9:02 a.m. <br />gd;Wardl.
