MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER GUMPHREY AND SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FARBER THAT NO ACTION IS TO BE TAKEN. MOTION CARRIED 4-0. 2. Lois Carton, Parcel Identification Number 75-128-4205 Ms. Carton would like to reestablish green acres with the county for this acreage. Assessor Kritzeck explained that this property had been re-designated as residential and that previously it was designated as agricultural. He stated that this is metes and bounds property. She had 11 + acres but due to their GIS system, a correction was found based on the legal description, and she actually has less than 10 acres total. The law requires her classification now to be residential. The Council discussed this in some length and decided that the building inspector and engineering staff should look to see if this lot is buildable. MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ AND SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FARBER TO HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT COME OUT AND DETERMINE IF THIS LOT HAS ANY BUILDABLE SITES. MOTION CARRIED 4-0. 3.

He stated that he now is bothered with headlights from Waco Street. He stated that his value went up by 14.3% and that he has river view land versus his neighbor who has river frontage land.
