<br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft explained he had nothing new to add except to review the response <br />from Ms. Linda Waite-Smith. He indicated a joint meeting would need to be <br />scheduled at some point in the future. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson noted he met with the three property owners along with Mr. Palzer <br />to discuss the improvements. He indicated no one wants to cover the expense, but <br />stated good discussions took place. <br /> <br />2002 Budget <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg noted the Council held a study session on August 21, 2001 and <br />noted the Council was faced with numerous difficulties this year due to new <br />legislative actions. He noted there would be additional budget meetings on <br />September 6,2001 and September 11,2001 with a preliminary approval of the <br />budget at the September 12, 2001 Council meeting. <br /> <br />Turcotte Property (Utilities and Wmterizing) <br /> <br />Ms. Bender asked what the Council would like to have public works do with the <br />Turcotte Property as far as winterizing the site or not. Mr. Hoeft stated it was Mr. <br />Palzer's wishes to terminate the utilities and to remove the structure in the future. <br /> <br />Councihnember Broussard Vickers asked if the site could be used for rental <br />property. Mr. Hoeft stated this would be possible but indicated taxes would then <br />have to be paid on the site. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers asked that the home be winterized until the <br />home can be sold and moved off the land. Mr. Hoeft stated he felt this would be a <br />good option for the Council even if limited funds were gained for the structure. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers questioned if an ad could be placed in the <br />paper to sell and move the home off the site. She noted selling the home would <br />be cheaper for the City, than demolishing it. <br /> <br />The Council agreed to keep the utilities on through September until potential <br />buyers could view the site. <br /> <br />VIII. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />Ordinance #4 Amendment (Accessory Structures M-l District) <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers noted there was a lot of discussion at the <br />Planning and Zoning meeting regarding accessory structures in the M-l District. <br />She noted residential and commercial properties would be treated differently, with <br />regard to accessory structures, even if they are both within the M-l District. <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers noted commercial properties would be defined <br />as those that earn money on the property. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers reviewed the size of structures on the site and <br />noted 704 square feet was the maximum on lots where 2% of the lot size was <br />7 of 10 <br />
