Lots created under this exception, in addition to the existing requirements, would also need to record a covenant that prohibits transfer of the lots created unless they are combined. This requirement would not be applicable to any conveyance by a lending institution who has acquired title as a result of a mortgage foreclosure (3.B.2.h). The first reading of the ordinance amendment was approved by the Council on November 26, 2007 with the additional phrase "of the existing habitable single family home." inserted at the end of Subd. 3.B.2. Following second reading and approval, the ordinance would be published and would take effect 30 days from the date of publication. OPTIONS 1. Approve second reading and passage of Ordinance 19-07 2.
