Carlson ATTEST: William J. Elrite, City Clerk-Treasurer Resolution Approving a Lotsplit for 1856 39th Avenue N.E. The request for this lotsplit is being made by Gary Traverse who owns the adjacent property. He is making the request in response to a letter he received in August from the former City Manager regarding the selling of tax-forfeit parcels. It was noted that this parcel was not tax-forfeit but rather a lot owned by the City. Thirty-five years ago this property was donated to the City by Mr. Hanson who lives immediately across the street from the property. Mr. Hanson's sons were in attendance at the meeting to represent his interests. Jack Hanson stated his father was willing to buy back this property and to pay any back taxes which would have been generated over the last thirty-five years. His purpose in wanting this property is to protect his view of Hart Lake. It was his contention that Mr. Traverse has already encroached on the property and intends to build on that area which constitutes his view of the Lake. The Hansons would be comfortable with an easement being given to Mr. Traverse to accommodate his.need to access his garage but requested that a ~no build~' easement be granted. Councilmember Nawrocki stated that an offer to purchase the lot had been made in good faith by Mr. Traverse and this was in response to the letter received from the former City Manager. Councilmember Ruettimann observed that Mr. Traverse has encroached on the City-owned property with a fence, some landscaping and tree which were planted there. Members of the Council indicated a willingness to grant an easement which would give Mr. Traverse more easy access to his garage but that they chose to have the remaining property left as park land. Discussion continued regarding a drawing of the property in question and its Regular Council Meeting November 13, 1990 page $ accuracy. Councilmember Nawrockl felt it was not drawn to scale. Motion by Clerkin to table for additional information. Motion fails for lack of a second. Jack Hanson offered to pay for a registered survey to be done of the property. It was the consensus of the Council that a registered survey was not necessary and that engineering staff could supply accurate information regarding the parcel. It was noted that a portion of the concrete slab adjoining Mr. Traverse's- garage was located on City property. He is requesting an additional twenty-five feet to accommodate this slab. He indicated a willingness to Insure that a "no build" easement would be in place if that was what was wanted by the Hansons if the Council went ahead and made the property sale to him. Motion by Peterson, second by Ruettimann to direct the City Attorney to prepare the appropriate document to provide an easement to Gary Traverse for ingress and egress to encompass the extremities of the concrete already in place located at 1856 3~th Avenue N.E. and to direct staff to survey and prepare a legal description of Lot !, except the west six feet thereof, Hart Lake Manor. Councilmember Peterson requested that Lot 1 and Lot 2 and the encroachment be surveyed. Councilmember Nawrocki challenged this motion as he felt the previous action of the Council, that being, to sell the property to Mr. Traverse subject to the lot~plit being granted, has not occurred yet. The City Attorney stated that Councilmember Peterson's motion was in order, but there was no roll call on that motion as a tabling motion was passed. Motion by Nawrocki, second by Clerkin to table for additional information which will include exact measuremnts. Roll call: Nawrocki, Clerkin, Ruettimann - aye Peterson, Carlson - nay Motion to table passes. The Acting City Manager suggested that the Council and the interested parties meet on the site. It was noted that Mr. Traverse works at night and finds it inconvenient to take time off of work to attend Council meetings. Councilmember Paterson's motion to prepare easement papers remains on the table. Notion by Peterson, second by Ruettimann to deny the Iotsplit of property located at 1856 39th Avenue N.E. legally described as Lot I, except the west six feet thereof, Hart Lake Manor. Roll call: Peterson, Ruettimann - aye Nawrocki, Clerkin, Carlson - nay Motion falls. Mayor Carlson felt the lotsplit should not be denied until the surveys have been completed and returned to the Council for its review. Authorization to Purchase and Install Furniture at Library The Library Director explained how the Vendors were selected who received the bid specifications. The Acting City Manager requested this item be removed from the agenda as the City Attorney was of the opinion that the City could not enter into a contract. He noted that only one bid met the bid specs therefore thls could not be done on an informal bidding process. Regular Council Meeting November 13, 1990 page 6 Motion by Clerkin, second by Nawrockl to reject these quotes and go out for new bids. Roll call: All ayes ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS (cont.) b.
