Approval of Common Council Minutes – September 25, 2012
Reso. #091-2012 – Approval of a Certified Survey Map – Bonnert, Town of Norway
NEW BUSINESS
Reso. #092-2012 – Approval of Certified Survey Map-Davis. Ald. Borgman moved for
adoption. Ald. Glazier seconded.
Mr. Muenkel was present regarding the certified survey map, which proposes a four-lot
land division. One of the lots is actually City-owned conservation land (shown as Lot 4
on the CSM). Mr. Davis asked if the City was willing to relinquish a portion of the
conservation property to provide access to the other lots. The City Conservation
Commission recommended approval of relinquishing .19 acres with the Council to
determine the value. The Plan Commission recommended approval of the certified
survey map. Staff recommends approval of the certified survey map subject to the City
receiving $2,500 of value for the property. Mr. Muenkel noted that the value amount
was determined after consultation with the City Assessor. He stated that the certified
survey map does show an easement for future conservation trail access. The City’s
Conservation Plan does show a future off road recreation trail that would someday stem
from the north side of the Engel Conservation property.
The Mayor noted that the resolution that is on the floor approves relinquishing the .19
acres subject to the petitioner paying $2,500 to the City. Ald. Soltysiak questioned the
value. He stated that there is a case to be made for the fact that the .19 acres will
become residential and will be of greater value once the development is completed.
Ald. Harenda and Glazier stated they deferred to the City Assessor regarding the value
of the land. Ald. Soltysiak expressed concern that this situation could become more
prevalent than people think. Motion carried 7 in favor.
