By Jolene FarleyAnyone interested in building in Hills has many lots to choose from to locate a house. The Hills Economic Development Authority (EDA) has five lots south of the city park for sale and United Enterprises, owned by Gerald Haak, Wilmer Elbers and Tony Bosch, has another 24 lots to the east of the EDA property for sale. The EDA lots, called Parkview 4th Addition, differ in size and are priced accordingly from $8,000 to $15,900. Whoever buys the lots is required to build within one year, according to EDA President Dana Dahlquist. A special incentive for building on the EDA lots is available for buyers. One-tenth of the price will be refunded every year the owner continues to live on the purchased lot. After ten years, the purchase price is totally forgiven. Officials opted to develop the lots after deciding not to build more city owned apartments on the land. "We were thinking about eventually doing apartments down there," Dahlquist said. "But we decided not to do that." The largest lot in the development is sold and a different buyer has expressed interest in a second lot.The property is listed with All States Realty agent, Keith Elbers. United Enterprises has priced their lots in Parkview Addition 1st, 2nd and 3rd from $9,000 to $11,000. "They are developed and they have the sewer and water all in them," said partner Gerald Haak. Fourteen lots, in addition to the 24 lots, have already sold. Only new construction is allowed in the developments. "If anybody wants a map they are available," Haak said. For more information on the United Enterprises lots call Gerald Haak at 962-3710 or Wilmer Elbers at 962-3653.
