Moorse commented that a lener had <br />been received bv 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 tour- <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 live 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 />Tumham. With the acquisition of two smaller parcels owned by the City, he would have a <br />connection to the Tumham property. <br />It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Hurr, to purchase the Libraiy propeny and investigate the <br />sale of the McCulley Road property.
