COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 13, 1998 Triangle lot on Peltier Lake - Originally designed as access to Peltier Lake for all the residents in Rehbein's Peltier View. Now that the lot is tax forfeit,the DNR will not allow the lot to return to private ownership again. Lot on Main Street- This lot was created when Anoka County redesigned the curves on Main Street. The landowner behind the lot uses the lot as access to Main Street. She is in the process of obtaining title to the parcel. Ms. Anderson stated that Anoka County is in the process of designating these parcels of land for sale at a public auction. Ms. Anderson recommended the City obtain title to all of the outlots in the Birch Wood Acres subdivision so that the City can continue to maintain the ponds and trails on them. She also recommended the City obtain title to the outlots in Rehbein's Peltier View so the ponds on those lots can be maintained by the City. The City Engineer has recommended the City obtain title to Lot 14,Arthur E. Thom Acres(the lot north of the bus garage) since the City has a sewer force main that crosses the lot from east to west and may place additional utilities on the lot in the future.
