Chair Lindquist called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARINGSIPUBLIC INFORMATION REVIEWS ( #1) #2170 LARRY H. NELSON, 3335 CRYSTAL BAY ROAD - SUBDIVISION OF A LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT - PUBLIC HEARING 7 :01 -7:07 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Mabusth reported that the application is for a subdivision of a lot line rearrangement for property located on Crystal Bay Road. A 1980 deed transferred a portion of the adjoining railroad property with applicant's homestead parcel but the subdivision was not approved by the City. The City would have denied the division informing the property owner to • apply for a subdivision application. The applicant has owned the property since 1992 and would like to clear up the title and has filed the required Class I subdivision application. Applicant's homestead parcel consists of 5500 s.f and the railroad property will add 901 s.f. Mabusth said the Staff has no problem with the application as presented. Larry Nelson was present, along with an attorney representing First Security Title, Mike Sabodi. Nelson said he filed a quit claim deed with Hennepin County but it was rejected. There is 16.67' in question with the application. The document acquiring the property was completed by the past owner and the railroad. Mabusth added that she had spoken with a representative of Rail America, who was told to contact the City if there were any problems or concerns from the railroad. No further contact was made. There were no public comments. Smith moved, Stoddard seconded, to approve the subdivision of a lot line rearrangement for Larry H. Nelson involving the property located at 3335 Crystal Bay Road and the property originally owned by Burlington Northern and now Rail America, subject to the condition that applicant's surveyor provide an amended survey designating Lot 7, "Wallace's Addition to the Village of Minnetonka Beach" as Parcel A and Parcel B providing the description of the portion to be divided from the railroad property as • described on the survey, Exhibit F.
