City Council Meeting June 9, 1981 Page Seven Attorney, Mr. Sellergren, advises that the Variance still should be denied but further advises that a building permit could appropriately be issued so that Mr. Swanson would be allowed to utilize his property. Discussion was carried on regarding the timing of the consolidation of the City of Elk River and the Township of Elk River, the interm ordinance and the recording of the transfer of the property. The City Administrator indicated that the date of the recording of the lot does not have any bearing on the Variance request, as the ordinance does not allow for a building permit to be issued for a lot with- out access to a public road. Discussion was carried on regarding the procedure Mr. Swanson would have to take to acquire a building permit for his lot. The City Administrator suggested that Mr. Swanson get an appraisal of the property, and prove to the City Council that there are no willing buyers or uses fOr the property.

It was the concensus of the City Council that the Swansons advertise their property for sale for approximately two to four weeks. COUNCILMAN EWGSTROM MOVED TO DENY THE VARIANCE REQUEST BY MR.
