V. NEW BUSINESS
Discussion and Possible Action: Kinzel Wood Products Option and Right of
First Refusal for a Lot Located on Alverno Drive (Parcel No. 449-008-014)
A. Tegen reviewed the one-year option and reminded members of the
policy that potential buyers without existing facilities in the park can secure
a maximum one-year option only. He shared the preliminary layout plan and
pointed out that a gas line runs through the property.
Gregg Kinzel, representing Kinzel Wood Products, shared further details of
the project. He added they recently learned that the pipeline is not an
easement, rather the proposed parking lot would need to be relocated to
stay 20' from the existing line. He said that they are currently exploring
costs as they cannot expand at their current location and would perhaps
break ground in 2027.
A. Tegen stated the City could entertain the option to adjust the property
