Mr. Buchholz’s counteroffer of June 20, 2022 requested a housing development wherein the City would provide sewer and water lines to the street for the development, the City would continue with the street project for the street extension and Mr. Buchholz would reimburse the City $5,000.00 for each of the three lots which did not have construction on after 5 years.
