<br />~ <br /> <br />costs, payments to the Commissioners, Attorney fees and engineering fees. <br /> <br />Hicks asked if that is the final settlement. Lynden said no, that it is not <br />the final settlement. The appeal in Ramsey District Court has not been <br />scheduled for trial; advised that Mr. Reiling is seeking $150,000 and the <br />Commissioners awarded $33,000 and $30,000; so, no, it's an estimate on the <br />part of the engineer. It is what has been approved by the lower court. It <br />has been approved by the Commissioners; the appeal is to the lower court; <br />the first stage is the Commissioners. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Hicks said let's suppose these assessments were levied to cover the current <br />cost of $40,000 for easement, and the applicant is successful in his appeal <br />in raising that; what do we do about assessments then? <br /> <br />Lynden said you can do a supplementary assessment. <br /> <br />Eibensteiner said the supplementary assessment procedure raises a question. <br />Let's say I have all the lots sold by next spring; who picks up the assess- <br />ments? Lynden said it would be the owners of the lots in the subdivision. <br /> <br />Woodburn noted that it roughly translates out, then, that Mr. Reiling is <br />giving the land and is getting seven lots for about $7,000 each ($49,000) and <br />Mr. Eibensteiner is giving the land and getting seven for $91,000 ($13,000/ <br />lot plus the road grading costs). That's correct. <br /> <br />Reiling said he thinks the Mayor is somewhat befuddled; the $44,000 figure <br />included the attorney fees. Woodburn said that's correct. Reiling said our <br />award so far is $33,000; now if you divide that figure, you'll have the <br />right figure. Woodburn said $8,570 vs $13,000+. <br /> <br />Woodburn asked if there were any further questions. After determining there <br />were no additional questions or comments, the public hearing was closed at <br />8:00 p.m. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-4- <br />
