' ART"ICLE IV. DISTRICT REGULATIONS Page 10 of 21 development, including land subdivision, on the Lake Minnetonka Islands. Common ownership as of that date has been and shall be determined by the deeds of record at the county recorder's office. This definition shall not preclude the city from recognizing or enforcing the common ownership/lot of record provisions of Ordinance No. 172, or any other similar prior ordinance. b. The council has identified and establishes 69 record lots on Big Island, Mahpiyata Island and Deering Island as listed by record lot number in the left- hand column of subsections (4), (5), (6) and (7) of this section. Each such record lot shall include all land identified by all tax parcel property identification numbers (PIDs) grouped together following the record lot number. c. Within 60 days after January 13, 1983, the owner of each record lot shall be notified in writing at his last recorded address of the classification of each record lot, including all tax parcels determined to be included in such record lot. All existing uses in the RS district are identified in the record lot inventory, subsections (4), (5), (6) and (7) of this section, and all such uses have been deemed to be seasonal in nature. The notice shall provide that in order to receive the benefits of the automatic lot area variances granted by subsections (6) and (8) of this section, the owner shall on a form provided by the city acknowledge the record lot and shall apply for combination of all separate tax parcels pursuant to subsection (2) of this section. Any record lot owner may appeal the record lot classification or use determination to the council with no application fee required within six months of the effective date of this division. The record lot inventory shall be considered accurate and final for all properties except those found on appeal to have a demonstrable cause for change or adjustment. d. Notice of record lot establishment shall be filed by the city in the chain of title of each property. e. Future changes in tax parcel property identification numbers caused by combination of parcels for tax purposes or for any other reason shall not alter the establishment of record lots. New record lots shall be created only by council approved subdivisions pursuant to subsection (3) of this section, or by combination of two or more complete record lots. (2) Tax parcel combination required. No new building permit, variance or conditional use permit shall be issued for any purpose on any record lot composed of two or more tax parcels unless the owner of such record lot shall apply for a formal combination of all commonly owned property into one parcel. If contiguous, all property shall be combined into one tax parcel. If separated by public right-of-way, a special lot combination form shall be executed and filed in the chain of title of each separate parcel. (3) Subdivision of record lots. All record lots established in this section shall be continued in common ownership and shall not be subdivided, sold in parts, reduced in area, leased or otherwise separated without application for and council approval of a subdivision in accordance with chapter 82. Such subdivisions will normally be approved and additional new record lots created only if all resulting lots are each 5.0 acres of dry- buildable lot area or more. No existing record lot shall be divided or reduced in area to less than 5.0 acres of dry-buildable lot area, except as follows: a. Lot line rearrangements between abutting properties that do not create an additional building site will normally be approved. b. Separation of platted lots divided by public rights-of-way may be approved provided the separated lot is combined with other abutting property to enlarge the property without necessarily creating an additional substandard building site. http://library4.municode.com/default-test/Doc View/13094/1/110/114�hilite=rs; 7/27/2009
