Land sale altered, reinstatement denied

Dave Sherman of the Planning Commission spoke to the Babbitt city council Tuesday night about the land behind Cherry Circle and the old access road to Reserve Mining. He said there appears to be some misunderstandings.

He said the land was discussed to be rezoned and Rich Evenstad requested access to property he owns. Gary Kurpius asked to purchase 6.5 acres of land behind his house.

Sherman said the recommendation was to rezone the land and sell the land, however, the minutes did not reflect this. The access to Evenstad should have been granted as the request was made in June. He also asked if the council was following the zoning requirements.
