The Council reviewed a letter by the City Administration dated October 22, 1982
to Mr. Harvey Snyder, agent for Mr. Wallace Berglund. Thfs matter dealt with
a subdivision waiver which had been granted to Mr. Berglund to facilitate the
construction .of a new factory for F.E. I. Inc. The subdivision waiver was
granted on June 21, 1982 for a 3 acre parcel to be created out of the parent
parcel. The letter explained that a land division notice from the County
indicated that only one acre parcel had been created. The Council was informed

defined and a deed had been passed with the balance of the three acres taken
on Contract for Deed upon payment of which would then make available the
entire three acres to the buyer. Motion by Kuchera, second by Orr that the
