Hellings <br />Attorney at Law <br />13000 Crooked Lake Blvd <br />Coon Rapids, MN 55448 <br /> <br />Re: City owned parcel 24 31 22 33 0002 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Hellings: <br /> <br />I have your March 18th, 1997 letter at hand. The land in its <br />present status cannot be sold to a developer. The parcel was <br />acquired under a restricted deed for the specific public use of a <br />park. It must be used for that purpose or be reconveyed to the <br />state which returns it to forfeit status. See MS282.01 Subd. 1d. <br /> <br />For the City of Centerville to obtain an unrestricted deed, which <br />would allow them to sell to a developer, they must reconvey the <br />property to the state and make application to acquire the parcel <br />for a nonspecific public use paying the appraised price as <br />established by the County Board. <br /> <br />The city council should adopt a resolution directing the mayor <br />and the city clerk/administrator to execute the necessary <br />documents to reconvey the parcel to the State of Minnesota and <br />make application to acquire the property for a nonspecific public <br />use. Both of these documents (enclosed) can be completed at the <br />same time and forwarded to me along with the council resolution. <br /> <br />FAX: 323-5682 <br /> <br />AffirmatIve ActIon / Equal OpportunIty Employer <br /> <br />.,"~. <br /> <br />TDD/TTY: 323-5289 <br />
