WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS,
an amendment to the comprehensive plan would be required to remove this parcel from the Raspberry Woods Park area prior to disposing of the parcel; and when these parcels were conveyed to the city from the Department of Revenue, the conditional use deed included use restriction and reverter language requiring the city to use the land for a public purpose along with a condition that if such use shall cease, the land shall revert to the State of Minnesota; and in 2010, Minnesota Statutes 282.01, Subd. 1d.(d) was amended to include language stating a conditional use deed is released from the use restriction and reverter 30 years from the date the deed was acknowledge; and
the subject parcels are released from the use restriction and reverter and are able to be disposed of as more than thirty years has passed since the conveyance document was issued and recorded. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA as follows: 1. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as if fully set forth. 2. The sale of the subject properties would provide non-tax levy revenue which could be used to advance necessary park improvements throughout the community, place three currently property tax exempt parcels back on the tax roll, create potentially four new buildable residential parcels to enhance the city’s tax base, and result in decreased maintenance responsibilities for public works staff.
3. The City Council hereby approves a Public Property Use Change releasing the subject parcels from the public property use purposes of Parks and Stormwater Retention. 4. The subject parcels are hereby released from the use restriction and reverter language and are able to be disposed of as more than thirty years has passed since the conveyance document was issued and recorded. 5. The City Manager is hereby authorized to proceed with the disposal of the subject parcels. Fomal action of the City Council is required prior to disposing of the subject parcels. 6.
