Notice of the hearing was published in the Stillwater Evening Gazette, the official newspaper of the City on August 30, 1984 and copies were sent to all property owners proposed to be benefited from said improvement. THE MAYOR OPENED THE HEARING. JEFF DAVIS of SEH gave a report on the feasibility of the improvement. MR. DAVIS said the project consisted of street surfacing and storm water improvements. The cost of the project was estimated to be $104,398 for a twenty-four foot wide street and $134,472 for a thirty-two foot wide street. The estimated cost per lot based on a 24 foot wide street assuming only 12 lots were assessed was $8,699.83 per lot. The estimated cost per lot based on a 32 foot wide street, again assuming only 12 lots were assessed, was $11,206.00 per lot. MR. DAVIS said that Penthouse Acres was presently unplatted. The area did contain enough land for at least 14 lots if the Outlot owned by Mr. Tony Leitte was to be subdivided into two lots. The cost would then be spread over 14 lots. The cost of a 24 foot wide street would then be $7,457.00 per lot and $9,605.14 for a 32 foot wide street. At this point Bruce Folz explained the problems that were associated with Penthouse Acres. MR. FOLZ said that the plat had never been signed because Mr. Leitte wanted the Outlot to be subdivided into four lots and would not sign the plat unless this was allowed. The other property owners, or at least some of the other property owners, would not sign the plat if the City allowed any building on the Outlot. MR. FOLZ said that it was neces- sary that all property owners sign the plat for it to become a legal document. MR. MAGNUSON agreed and said that it was doubtful whether the City could ever get all of the property owners to agree to a final plat. He said that the City could go to court to try to compel the property owners to sign the plat. However, the costs of a court case of this nature would be extremely high and it also involved the forfeiture of pro- perty by some owners and the courts would probably award compensation. This would further increase the costs. MR. MAGNUSON suggested that the City not pursue this issue any further unless all of the property owners come up with an agreement or a workable solution. Considerable discussion was then held on the cost of the improvements as well as the problems associated with the unplatted property. On motion of Councilmember MacDonald, seconded by Councilmember Kimble the Council moved to continue the hearing until 4:00 P.M., October 16, 1984.
