City of Orono <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Orono, MN 55323 <br />Phone: (612) 473-7357 Fax: (612) 473-0510 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: February 12, 1999 <br />TO: Ron, Greg, Mike <br />FROM: Liz Van Zomeren, City Planner/Zoning Administrator <br />SUBJECT: Tax -Forfeited land on Brown Road South <br />Steven Bohl has applied for a sketch plan for a 7 lot subdivision for a parcel of land between <br />Willow Drive South and Brown Road South. (See Section Map). Near this parcel is a 50' x <br />200' section of land labeled "exception". <br />In 1982 this strip of land next to Brown Road South was forfeited to the State of Minnesota for <br />nonpayment of taxes. The City of Orono applied for conveyance of the land for drainage and <br />flood control. <br />Does the City continue to need this parcel for drainage and flood control? If not, would it be <br />beneficial to inform the County to make it available for sale to the adjacent property owner so <br />that Mr. Bohl can purchase the property and include it in his development proposal? If that <br />happened, it would be included in any conservation and flowage agreements. <br />Please let me know what you think about this idea. Mr. Bohl intends to file for preliminary <br />plat on Wed, Feb. 17th if the PC is favorable to his sketch plan on Tuesday. <br />
