ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL—NOVEMBER 28, 2016 6 Councilmember Wicklund asked if there had been situations in the past where Ramsey County records were not in synch with the City's map. Mayor Grant stated this has happened in the past, but it was rare. Councilmember Holmes indicated she brought this up because the Planning Case was described as a Minor Subdivision and no park dedication fee was suggested. She commented if this was already two lots, she questioned why a subdivision was being requested. Mayor Grant explained there was the issue of the lot not being recorded. Councilmember Wicklund noted that going off of Ramsey County records,this was one lot. Further discussion ensued regarding the history of these parcels. Mayor Grant recommended the historical legal description against the property owner. Councilmember McClung agreed and suggested the Council take the necessary steps to codify the action that was taken by the City in 1979.
