COUNCIL MEMBER AKERSON <br /> SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br /> Administration <br /> The following items were received by Council. <br /> • July 11, 2019 draft Park Commission minutes <br /> • July 16, 2019 draft EDC minutes <br /> • July 16, 2019 HRA minutes <br /> 10.1. Business Park Prospect <br /> Nancy Malecha stated that included in the packet is the project, background, <br /> timeline, and purchase price information from Joe Dotty of Dotty Holdings who is <br /> interested in purchasing the City's final lot for sale in the Pequot Lakes Business <br /> Park. This lot is #13 just south of Lonesome Cottage Furniture Company and the <br /> lot is 1.85 acres in size. Ms. Malecha stated that the Economic Development <br /> Commission (EDC), at their meeting held on July 16t", reviewed this information <br /> and is recommending the City continue negotiations and draft documents with <br /> Mr. Dotty to include a due diligence hold until October 15, 2019 to not sell this <br /> property to another prospect as this will give Mr. Dotty time to compile all the <br /> information needed for the purchase of this property. <br /> Ms. Malecha said the EDC further noted the Council may want to include some <br /> of the Heart of the Good Life Development zoning standards on this property due <br /> to its close proximity to this Development; however, after a discussion with Dawn <br /> Bittner she said it would be difficult to do this as these standards have yet to be <br /> finalized and are in a different zoning classification. Ms. Malecha said she can <br /> give Mr. Dotty a draft of these standards and if he is interested in incorporating <br /> some of them for this property the City would appreciate it. <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER SWANSON MOVED TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY <br /> ADMINISTATOR TO NEGOTIATE AND DRAFT DOCUMENTS FOR THE SALE <br /> OF PEQUOT LAKES BUSINESS PARK LOT#13 WITH THE PROSPECTIVE <br /> BUYER, JOE DOTTY OF DOTTY HOLDINGS, AND FURTHERMORE <br /> AUTHORIZES A DUE DILIGENCE HOLD ON THIS PROPERTY UNTIL <br /> OCTOBER 15, 2019.
