Elk River City Council Meeting June 16, 1997 Page 13 indicated that there were three issues relating to this request: 1 ) right-of-way, 2) landscaping area, and 3) value of property. COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN MOVED TO APPROVE THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY TO LARRY MORRELL FOR $2,200. COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON SECONDED THE MOTION. Discussion was held regarding Larry Morrell's request for the city to give him the property along 171st Avenue at no cost. Steve Ach indicated that the city is requesting $2,200 for the property which is a pro-rated price based on the price the city paid last year for the entire parcel. Councilmember Thompson asked Larry Morrell what price he would be willing to pay for the property. Larry Morrell indicated he would be willing to pay $500. Councilmember Holmgren withdrew his motion. Councilmember Thompson withdrew his second. It was the consensus of the Council to continue this issue until an agreement can be made between Larry Morrell and staff regarding the cost of the property. COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN MOVED TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM TO JUNE 30, 1997, TO GIVE STAFF AND LARRY MORRELL TIME TO NEGOTIATE THE COST FOR THE PROPERTY. COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 7.7, Request by Howard Dunham for Preliminary and Final Plat (Dunham Addition), Public Hearinq Case No. P 97-6U Planning Assistant Scott Harlicker indicated that Howard Dunham is requesting a preliminary and final plat to subdivide approximately 43 acres into four residential lots at 22878 Elk Lake Road.
