Gaffron should find out from the County exactly what will be taken for <br /> right-of-way. <br /> Hanning asked if a park fee would have to be paid if he subdivided now. Jabbour responded that <br /> the maximum would be $4,900 for the additional unit. Gaffron explained that if the value of the <br /> second parcel is $61,000 or more, the maximum amount is $4,900 for the park fee. <br /> (#23) REQUESTS BY THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER RELATED TO THE <br /> ACQUISITION OF THE TAX FORFEIT PROPERTY AT 1960 SHORELINE DRIVE <br /> Moorse explained that Mr. Crear, owner of the property at 1980 Spates Avenue, would like to <br /> purchase the tax forfeit parcel at 1960 Shoreline Drive. Council waived the sewer assessment <br /> by resolution when the parcel was released for sale to adjacent property owners, based on the fact <br /> that the lot would not be buildable. An additional special assessment of approximately $5,000 <br /> was discovered that is related to legal fees incurred in the review of a planning application from <br /> a prior owner. The City was successful in fighting the application but was unable to collect the <br /> cost from the prior owner. Mr. Crear is asking to have this assessment forgiven. <br /> Crear added that he could not combine the tax forfeit parcel with his homestead propertybecause <br /> u <br /> the mortgage company wouldn't allow it. Moorse suggested a covenant be drawn up to address <br /> the issue. <br /> Kelley asked what Crear planned to do with the tax forfeit parcel. Crear responded that he <br /> planned to plant trees. He added that the University of Minnesota was interested in using the <br /> property as a test site for bio-remediation and how chemicals react with the soil. <br /> Kelley asked how Crear intended to block the road noise as the building currently provides a <br /> buffer. Crear responded that the existing fence would not be removed until something was built <br /> to take its place. Kelley asked for a sketch plan from Crear and stakes showing the property <br /> lines. Crear noted that Hennepin County was going to take a portion of the property. <br /> 26 <br />
