X • Exhibit B to Orono Variance Application Description of Request (continued) 1. Lot Line Rearrangement Request; In Orono Application No. 2269 Conley Brooks, Jr. and Gerald McCourtney effectuated a class one subdivision of the former Skarp property. For the purposes of this application, we wiU use some of the same surveys and diagrams, as this request involves many of the same properties. Exhibit B1 attached is a partial copy of the survey from Orono Application No. 2269. Exhibit B2 attached hereto is a survey of the Conley Brooks, Jr. property. In Orono Application No. 2269, the Orono City Council approved Conley Brooks, Jr.’s combination of Parcels A (980 West Femdale Road-the Gumucio house) Parcels E and H (which are the former Skarp parcels on the north side of Femdale Road), and Parcel F (which was Conley Brooks’ part of the Skarp property south of Femdale Road). Still to be resolved are the status of Parcels C (Lot 13, Nonh Shore Cottage Acres), Parcel B (the most easterly part of what in 1951 was Skarp property and the property in which Charles Floyd claims an interest), and Parcel D (the ambiguous parcel on the south side of Femdale Road northerly of905 West Femdale Road, the former Conley Brooks, Jr. property, now owned by John Brooks (no relation to Conley Brooks, Jr.)). Exhibit B3 attached hereto is a survey of the John Brooks property located at 905 West Femdale Road. At the present time, there is a land title registration case (a torrens case) in Hennepin County District Court as file No. 20244 concerning the registration of title to the easterly 20 feet of the former Skarp property as alleged to be half owned by Conley Brooks, Jr. and half owned by Charles Floyd. That application was amended to include all of the Skarp property and Lot 13, Northshore Cottage Acres, because all of the land surrounding the old Skarp property is registered land, except those parcels. Please note that Conley Brooks, Jr.’s application to register the 20 foot parcel explicitly recognizes the 1951 deed from Skarp to Dye (Conley Brooks, Jr.’s predecessor at 980 West Femdale Road) and to Austin (Charles Floyd ’s predecessor at 960 West EB01:921813 2
