Since prior to 1974, Lots 55, 56, and 57, Hlghwood Lake Minnetonka, have been legally cotabined for tax purposes. (Please see the attached tax records for 1974 and for 1987). Orono Municipal Code Section 11.03.66 (a) defines "the division of property previously combined for tax purposes* as a Class Z Subdivision. Tax parcel PID 107-117-23 44 0047 is considered as a Lot of Record per Section 10.03 Subdivision 6. Your warranty deed dated December 30, 1986, appearing in City files as a result of Homestead Classification request, indicates you purchased only Lots 55 and 56, Highv/cod Lake Minnetonka. You have additionally provided us with Registered Property Abstracts indicating that Lot 55 was originally on a Certificate of Title No. 269397 and Lots 56 thru 61 inclusive were covered under Certificate of Title No. 269398. I believe that Mr. Jamen Touve during our phone dicussion on 7-7-87 was attempting to explain to mo that as a result of the sale to you, he has had those Certificates revised to include lots 55 and So on one Certificate of Title. If that is the case, that still has no bearing on tho City's policy or ordir.ariVt.-.. As of this date, you are paying taxes on Lot 57, although you do not have title to it. It is e normal occurrence that the Hennepin County tax department requests City approval on subdivisions prior to revising tax records*. The City has disapproved the bounty .request for.changos to ttu records for.PID 107-117-23 44 0047 since.it has .not been legally subdivided.^ ^ - • • • r •• r V* The City, iias teken .the position that'no"further building permits will be issued for your property until the matter is settled.
