, Within any RS seasonal recreational district, no new lot or parcel shall be created less than 5.0 acres in dry- buildable lot area exclusive of any wetlands. Within any RS seasonal recreational district, the following provisions shall govern the buildability, use and/or subdivision of each existing record lot: (1) Record lot definition. For purposes of the RS seasonal recreational district, a "record lot" shall mean all the contiguous or abutting land owned in common by the same person or persons as of November 9, 1981, or at any time such common ownership may occur thereafter, including one or more separately platted lots or unplatted parcels of land, and/or one or more separately identified tax parcels. Because of the unique circumstances and actual use patterns existing on the islands, also included within the definition of a "record lot" is commonly owned land that is contiguous except for being separated only by platted unopened public right-of-way. Each record lot shall be considered in its entirety to be one lot for zoning purposes. a. The effective date for determination of common ownership is November 9, 1981,the date of adoption of Ordinance No. 238, establishing a moratorium on 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
