December o, ,989 I have reviewed the plat of Bayside Woods submitted to you by letter of November 29, 1989 from Michael P. Gaffron of the City of Orono. 1.

Taylor II and Cheryl L. Taylor, husband and wife, fee owners, and the Landschute Group Inc., a Minnesota corporation, contract purchaser." The document should be filed immediately after the plat. 4. Minn. Stat. §505.03 requires the submission of an abstract and certificate of title. In lieu of an abstract, a title commitment has been provided. I recognize that this is a common practice in many municipalities, but it does not follow the exact letter of the statute. According to the Registrar of Titles, the Owner's Duplicate Certificate of Title is at the courthouse. 5. I assume that all proper procedures were followed for approval of the preliminary plat.
