O’Brien verified that the lots exceed the width requirement. Bruce Nedegaard, applicant, noted that the engineering plans will be submitted in the very near future. Livingston asked the selling price of the homes. Nedegaard said the homes would be priced between $175,000- $225,000. nd Robert Dorner, 981 2 St., was assured by the Planning Commission during the public hearing for construction of the nearby church that there were no plans for residential development of this parcel. Since construction of the church, his home has been flooded several times, and he does not believe there is room to construct four homes on this parcel. nd Hilton Magnuson, 1040 2 St., agreed with Dorner’s statement that the parcel would never be developed, and asked what will happen to the sanitary sewer running through the parcel. Teague said the development would not disturb the sewer line. nd Tony Gesler, 1001 2 St., asked if these homes will meet the required setback from the creek and who will pay the street assessment.
