Preliminary Plat - Karth Lake Estates Mr. Keith Harstad reported that he has been unable to finalize an agreement with Pilgrim House to date re the 208' portion of road across the south 30' of the Pilgrim House property; from a planning standpoint, carrying the road straight through is the best. Attorney Nordling said that Pilgrim House does not wish to be arbi- trary, but the developer will not compensate the church for its property; referred Council to his letter of 4/7/77. Nordling said that Pilgrim House cannot sell for a reduced value of Its property; will negotiate for full market value of the land taken. Harstad suggested that the City proceed with eminent domain. Hanson and Crichton expressed reluctance to the taking of land, unless no alternative can be found. Harstad offered the following temporary alternative, for Council's consideration, which he said would continue as long as necessary In order to proceed with the plat: Place a holding order on Lot 31 (possibly affecting a portion of Lots 39 and I also) and relocate road In this area 30' to the south, by-passing the Pilgrim House property. Nordling expressed concern that this temporary easement would be putting Pllgrl~ House In the situation of having to donate the 30' wide portion of Its property at some future time for the road; Church would be donating the land and paying for the road which is not In the best Interest of the church. Woodburn cited. several instances where land h.a.s been given fOI" roads and the properties also assessed; not an unusua~ practioe nor consid- ered to be unfair. . After discussion, Crichton moved, seconded by Hanson, that Councl I approve the Preliminary Plat of Karth Lake Estates contingent upon: I. Preparation, by the City Attorney, of an agreement which provides for a temporary easement for the road across the north 30' of Lot 31 (possibly also affecting adJacent.lots (Lots I and 39, Block 3) until such time that a decision Is made regarding the Pilgrim House property, and Approval by the City Engineer of the temporary road reloca- tion re utilities and road portion involved. 2.
