Mr. Hynes, Attorney for I,eonard Weigel, stated that at the time the 8-plex
was built the 8-plex conformed to the zoning code He stated that subsequently
the zoning code was revised and apartments are not now permitted in this area
The 8-plex is now claimed to be a non-conforming use. He stated that, whereas,
the fu11 and true value of the apartment building is given as $20,000, this is
only one-fourth the market value which is $80,000. He stated that the Weigels
received a settlement of their insurance claim in the amount of $22,000 to
restore the apartment building to its previous condition He�stated that the
$22,000 settlement is less than one-half the total market value of the
apartment and Chat the zoning cade requiring that a non-conforming building �
which is damaged moxe than 50% of full and tiue value must be @orn down and
reUuilt is unconstitutional He stated the actual value must be used which
is the market value Mr. Hynes said that the zoning code was revised two
years after the apartment building was built He read decisions of the
Supreme Court of the State of Minnesota and stated that rezoning of the area
in which the apartment building is located constitutes spot zoning and taking
of property without due process of law and �ust compensation to the property
owner He stated that the rezoning was capricious and arbitrary.
Mr. Juster, acting City Attorney, said thaC he had discussed this problem
with the City Attorney. He stated that it is the opinion of the City Attorney
that the amendments to the zoning code are reasonable. He stated that a
decision whether a Building Permit should be granted to the Weigels to restare
the apartment building is up to the Council Councilman Wright stated that the
Council has a great deal of sympathy for the Weige P s problem. Councilman
Wright stated that prdcedures are availabie in the courts to give Mr Weigel
the value of the property as it exists today, which together with the compen-
sation provided to him by the insurance company would compensate him fully for
the value of his property,
Mr. Hynes answered that if the Council would assure Mr. Weigel that the property
will actually be taken and that Mr. Weigel will be fully compensated there
would be no problem. He stated, however, that the City uould not condemn
this property and take iL unt=1 a cons3derable time elapsed, perhaps one or two
years; otr, he stated, the City may not be able to take this property at all ,
He stated that until this property is taken the Weigels would continue to lose
rent money of $1,125 per month and the We�gels could not afford this loss He
stated that since there is no action 3�y the City at this time to dondemn this
property the Wexgels are entitled to a Building Permit to repair the property
Mayor Nee stated that Che question at issue is whether the section under
Chapter 45 of the City Code provides that the Citq should condemn buildings
which are non-confo�ing uses and have been damaged more than 50% of the full
and true value oF the building He stated that some other way must be found
to help Che WeLgels resolve this giablem.

Mr. Weigel for a Building Pezmit leaves the Weigels no other alternative
but to go to couzt to obtain it,
Councilman Kirkham asked who would cotnplain if the City gave the Weigels a
building permit. Mayor Nee replied that the entire community has a stake

stated that he believes the flooding is due to actions of the contractor. The
City Manager informed Mr. SoderUerg that the contractor for Grace Catholic
School does not have a grading permit to regrade the 1and. Councilman Wright

State of Minnesota. Councilman Wright stated that the final grades of the grounds
of Grace Catholic School have not been determined and that the City has not

clay washed onto Mr. Soderburg�s property was obviously the dirt from the grounds
of Grace Catholic School.

sewer and although he does not know when construction will take place, since the
City has not received a petition for the construction, he believes that this
wi11 alleviate part of the problem. The City �ngineer stated that construction
of the storm sewer would alleviate part of the problem but there are no plans
at the present time to add any additional area to the dxainage district to be �
served by this storm sewer system. Councilman Sheridan stated that the storm
sewer system to be constructed on Matterhorn Drive wi11 primarily drain the
area east of Matterhorn Drive.

City Engineer stated that water coming from Interstate Highway 694 wi11 run
through Terry's Addition, He stated that a storm sewer cannot be constructed
in this area until the final plat of Terry's Addition has been approved. Ae
stated he believes that sewer and �aater construction should take place on Terry's
Addition at the present time since it would be easier to obtain the agreement of
T16
the Minnesota Highway Department to such construction at the present time
whereas it might be difficult to obtain this agreement with the Minnesota
Highway Department at a later time. The City Engineer stated further that
Mr. Julkowski is requesting sewer and water services for the apartment
buildings at the present time.
Councilman Sheridan asked Mr. Julkowski how soon he could file the final plat

before he could obtain all the agreements necessary to file the final plat.

to perform the services requested by Mr. Julkowski. Mr. Comstock answered
that he believes he has sufficient information, The City Manager stated that the
firm of Comstock and Davis is designing the utilities for Terry's Addition
and that the design of sewer and water services wi11 he sufficiently complicated
that he believes Mr. Comstock should be authorized to prepare the plans for
this Po1k Street Pro�ect on a private basis rather than having a private
Engineer draw the plans. The Crty Engineer stated that he believes the
firm of Comstock and Davis is in a 6etter position to draw the plans, hence, he
recommends the Council authorize Mr. Julkowski to hire the firm of Comstock
and Davis to design the sewer and water services for the apartment building.

OF FLOODING - STAFFORD - 926 HACKMAN
Councilman Sheridan stated that he received a complaint from Mr. Stafford
concerning the construction of water and sewer lines in front of his property.
He stated that the construction makes it impossible for him to obtain access
to his property and that rain water runs into his basement as a result of the
construction. The City Engineer stated that this construction is made by the
developer according to plans designed by a consulti'cig engineering firm. He
stated that the consulting engineering firm did a poor �ob on the design and
the contractor is not compacting the soiliwhen he backfills. He stated that
he inspected the �ob in the past and that one time he stopped the contractor
from back filling the construction with frozen soil which would have resulted
in a very bad situation. He stated that it is necessary for the contractor
to compact the back-filled soil before the City can approve the construction.
He stated that the City plans to construct a street in this area as part of Street
Construction Pro�ect 1965-1, but needs to have the back filled soil compacted
before construction of the street
Mayor Nee asked whether the pipe is installed on undisturbed ground in order to
prevent damage to the pipe due to the movement of the soil above the pipe since
the soil above the pipe is not sufficiently compacted. The City Engineer
answered that it is necessary for the City to take the word of the contractor
that this is being done. Councilman Sheridan stated that he would inform
Mr. Stafford that the street would be improved as part of the street construction
pro�ect of 1965.
