Cloutier, Esq. <br />Cloutier & Cloutier, P.A. <br />1800 Midwest Plaza West <br />801 Nicollet Mall <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402 <br />JUH 30 <br />Re: Application for Building Permit: Lot 1, Tillson’s Villa Carman Addition <br />Dear Mr. Cloutier: <br />I have reviewed your letter ot June 27, 1995. But I do not entirely understand iL Do <br />you mean to say that your lots have not been combined, or do you simply mean that you <br />never authorized the combination? <br />The City ’s records show that the lots are combined. The City relied on that <br />information when it issued a building permit for the boat house some years ago. The City ’s <br />plat maps continue to show that the lots were combined. <br />If you believe that the combination is an error, you should take that up with Hennepin <br />County, since the City has no power to "uncombine" the lots other than through the <br />subdivision process. <br />Further to the tax benefit question which you discuss, combination for lax purposes <br />does not improve the lax status of the existing homestead, but could of course reduce the tax <br />burden of the other lots which are joined to the existing homestead by the combinadon. But <br />ultimately the City ’s decision not to issue the building permit is based on the fact that the lots <br />are combined, not the motive for the combination. <br />082/22086547 6<79/95
