<br /> MAYOR WOODBURN: (Inaudible) in January. <br /> . MR. LAUGHINGHOUSE: We can work on it right away. <br /> MAYOR WOODBURN: It should be one of our items on the <br /> agenda hopefully in January. <br /> MR. JOHN ECKERT, 3620 North Pascal: As it's been ex- <br /> plained here, there are going to be no improvements to North <br /> Pascal. Is that correct? <br /> MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: There is a potential - not along <br /> Pascal itself - a potential turn-around at the north end of it. <br /> An emergency vehicle turn-around. I didn't discuss that. <br /> That's part of the proposed improvement - part of the cost as <br /> in the proposed improvement is to provide what we call a <br /> hammerhead-type turn-around - just a "T" - for emergency <br /> vehicles to turn around. Relocation of a hydrant. That's the <br /> extent of the construction. <br /> MAYOR WOODBURN: Any more questions or comments? <br /> MR. MAX STOUTENBURG, 1435 West County Road E: In regard <br /> to the lot size - the lot size is going to be quite a bit <br /> larger than what the existing lot sizes are in the other area. <br /> For instance, my lot there in the corner is 75 by 168, I <br /> believe, and I don't know what the others are, but you get up <br /> . into that other area there and the lots look like they're twice <br /> the size of what the normal lot size is. Is this standard <br /> procedure for the Village - to put that size lots in there? <br /> And again, what kind of housing is going to go in there when <br /> they build the houses? Are these lots just going to go up for <br /> sale and the owner has the choice of picking the type of <br /> housing that goes in there or are you actually going to build <br /> the houses and sell them as lots and houses? Are you going to <br /> sell the lots or lots and houses? What kind of housing can <br /> we expect in there? Are they going to be in the $100,000 <br /> category? If you build a $100,000 house right behind my house, <br /> my property values are going to drop. That's what I'm con- <br /> cerned about. <br /> MR. LAUGHINGHOUSE: Our firm does not build this kind of <br /> single family home. We have developed - just to give you <br /> some kind of idea - we have developed, in the last three years - <br /> . I'll go through it real quickly - in Lake Elmo, 150 single <br /> family lots; in Mendota Heights, 40 some; Apple Valley, 70 <br /> some ; Minnetonka, well over 100; Wayzata, 20; all single <br /> family. In Minnetonka we have also developed a couple of <br /> duplex lots - seven in fact. In Coon Rapids we have 114 lots <br /> of singles and quads. The only construction our company has <br /> ever done has been on the duplex lots in Minnetonka. Generally, <br /> our plan - first of all, we sell them to make the most money <br /> . (inaudible) . Generally, our plan has been to sell these to <br /> individual purchasers. In the past, that's what we've done. <br /> We have also usually - and at this point I don't want to say <br /> we're going to - but we usually put covenants on the property <br /> 5 <br />
