Commissioner Bryson asked why this particular parcel wasn't previously platted. Kebschull thought that it was unclear as to how the parcel would be developed. Bryson expressed concern with the sewer and water for that area. Commissioner Nord asked why City Council didn't do anything with this parcel. Frazer reported the issue was never discussed for as long as he had been a council member. Frazer continued, Council had not been active in selling city property and these issues are only considered when such an inquiry as this is made. Nord thought the city shouldn't get involved. Bryson suggested Public Works look at the parcel with regards to a water line. Kebschull indicated the applicant met with the Public Works Director. Kebschull also noted the new well may be located in that area. MOTION: Commissioner Glick MOVED to recommend that Block 3, Five Irons Heights Subdivision be made available for sale as it is not needed for public use. Commissioner Morse SECONDED the motion.
