Carter DeLaittre <br />% Lambert & Boeder <br />1000 Superior Blvd <br />Wayzata, MN 55391 <br />CITY of ORONO <br />Post Office Box 66 • Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 • Municipal Offices <br />On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka <br />February 19, 1991 <br />Re: Samual A. Mccloud -Big Island <br />Dear Mr. DeLaittre: <br />As we have discussed, this letter is to update you on the <br />incomplete status of our zoning file #889, a lot line <br />rearrangement subdivision request ~e Nelson and <br />Jay Smedberg for Big Island Records ~ <br />Enclosed are various i terns of correspondence and Planning <br />Commission/Council meeting minutes from 1985. <br />The application is requesting City approval for a split of <br />the parcel of land, P.I.D. #22-117-23 41 0001, adjacent to Lots 6 <br />through 11, Morse Island Park. <br />/ <br />Apparently, in 1970, a torrens action resulted in dividing <br />this parcel into two deeded parcels, the division line being the <br />extension of the line between Lots 8 and 9. However, that <br />subdivision required City approval, which had never been applied <br />for nor granted. <br />In 1983, the City of Orono rezoned Big Island and defined <br />"record lots" which recognized historic patterns of use and <br />ownership, with the intent of keeping substandard, commonly owned <br />lots permanently in common ownership. Regarding Record Lots fl6 <br />and 22, former City Planner Alan Olson had a number of <br />conversations with the various members of the Nelson family, and <br />then determined appropriate combinations of parcels to create <br />record lots. In 1985, when Eugene Nelson was in the process of <br />selling R.L. i22 to Mccloud, it became clear that P.I.D. 22-117- <br />23 41 0001 existed in Hennepin County tax records as one parcel, <br />not reflecting the torrens action. Therefore, Nelson and <br />Smedberg (then contract-for-deed owner of Record Lot f16) applied <br />jointly for a lot line rearrangement/subdivision for tax purposes <br />to gain City approval of this split: <br />BUILDING & ZONING -473-7357 <br />ASSESSING • ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE -473-7358 <br />FAX -473-0510 • PUBLIC WORKS -473-7359
