He did state that the next letter would be sent certified mail. <br /> <br />Mr. Steve King, 1724 Sorel Street asked who would maintain the inside of the fence. <br />Administrator Statz stated that generally the owner of the fence maintains both sides of the fence. <br />Administrator Statz stated the requirements for a residential fence that the fence would be either <br />constructed on the property line or in two feet from the property line. Discussion regarding <br />maintenance and law. <br /> <br />A roll-call vote was taken. Mayor Love and Council Members Koski, Lakso, Montain & <br />Wilharber voted in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />IX. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Downtown Parcel For Sale (7046 Centerville Road) <br /> <br />Administrator Statz stated that the City has a Downtown Redevelopment Plan that guides <br />development, that the City has purchased properties in the past for assembly and that the property <br />owners of 7046 Centerville Road have approached the City to determine whether the City desired <br />to purchase the property. He stated that the property zoning allows for the home to remain on the <br />site with the ability to enlarge it by 33%. He stated that the existing home is approximately 450 <br />square feet, could be torn down and reconstructed only to the same size. He stated that the <br />assembly of parcels would interest developers similar to the Block 7 interest rather than a <br />developer having to purchase properties on their own. He felt that it could be some time before <br />the market were to be driving for a developer to much many parcels at a time to allow for a <br />development in the area. <br /> <br />Council Member Wilharber stated that he was not in favor of purchasing the property as the City <br />already owned property along Main Street and Block 7. Council Member Montain concurred and <br />also stated that such a purchase would not appropriate with the uncertainties of the 2021 budget. <br />Council Members Koski and Lakso also concurred. <br /> <br />Mayor Love stated that in other jurisdictions an EDA may have funding to allow for a purchase <br />similar to this and that it was not an “end” type parcel but rather a “middle” parcel in a block and <br />was unsure whether a purchase of this sort made sense and at this time with all of the uncertainties. <br /> <br />Administrator Statz thanked Council for their direction and consideration. <br /> <br /> <br />2. A-1 Excavating – Downtown Street Project (Working Hour Extension) <br /> <br />Administrator Statz stated that due to COVID-19 and rain delays, A-1 Excavating is requesting <br />the ability to work from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on week days. <br />Page 6 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
