I To: Prom: Date Subject Planning Commission Chairman Kelley Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator September 16, 1987 #1197 C. Wicks, W. Ferrell and Gordon Coffin - Lot Line Rearrangement - Public Hearing I Zoning District - RR-IB List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Property Owners List Exhibit C - Plat Map Exhibit D - Auditor's Subdivision 230 Exhibit E - Survey Designating Properties With Subject Parcels to be Deeded Although presented to staff in the enclosed subdivision application as a lot line rearrangement by applicants' attornies, after further discussion with the surveyor, Mark Gronberg, both of us would agree that we are not considering a lot line rearrangement. The review involves more a corrective action that would offset incorrect legal descriptions of properties originally created within Auditors Subdivision No. 230 (Exhibit D). The original surveyor assumed that the distance between the half section line was the customary 2,640 (distance between Old Crystal Bay Road and Leaf Street, review plat map) but was actually 2,659 feet. It has been this additional 19 feet of lineal length that has created havoc for property owners attempting to sell their proeprties with these title irregularities. One such owner, Mr, Ferrell, has been unable to clear the title of his mother's land for over two years and has had to delay sale until resolve of the "irregularties" of the legal descriptions of the property. The process inv’olves three current owners of properties within Auditors Subdivision 230 (review Exhibits C & D). Mr. Coffin is in the midst of an independent torrens action involving his total property holdings. Mr. Gronberg advised that Mr. Coffin will be present at your meeting to answer any further questions you may have. Simply, the process as described to me involves the exchange of quit claim deeds relinquishing all interest in the defined parcels and filing corrected descriptions with the Hennepin County Tax Office. The enclosed survey shows only the drawing of these parcels - a final survey will define original and corrected descriptions. Planning Commission Action - To recommend approval of the filing of the corrective survey that would redefine the legal boundaries of Lots 3, 4 and 5 Auditors Subdivision 2 30 and to direct the staff to file these documents with the appropriate Hennepin County «lopartments anrJ to further advise the Hennepin County Tax Of f i '*e f' f t h•' C i > y' ■> {'r> r V ’ I of ♦ r T p s t ('*■ i (»n s b i g i>»» ♦-'<<-» finding '••of tdi;.» c: oci-..s wi I I ntv** no •‘'vi I •.•if'-ct on t)je propeities as currently u.; '<1 in. ! ■ ' 1 • .! t- I
