RESOLUTION NO 2010-072
A RESOLUTION OBJECTING TO THE PROPOSED DETACHMENT
OF REAL PROPERTY FROM THE CITY OF LAKE ELMO
WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elmo is a municipal corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elmo has been presented with a petition for detachment of
the land identified in Exhibit A hereto; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elmo has never previously been approached by the
petitioners concerning the real property in question; and
WHEREAS, the property is currently partially developed for commercial purposes and
used for such purposes, specifically part of the property is used for materials recycling and
composting; and
WHEREAS, the property is bordered on its north by a major geographic boundary
between it and the municipality it purports to request detachment to (Stillwater Township)
because the property is bordered on its north by Highway 36; and
WHEREAS, the request for detachment would be disruptive and does not remotely
satisfy the requirements contained in the statutes governing detachment or the cases applying
those statutes; and
WHEREAS, there are numerous other factors which clearly establish that detachment is
not reasonable, appropriate or necessary in this case.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo,
Minnesota as follows:
That the City of Lake Elmo objects to and opposes the detachment demanded in the
petition of Bernard and Loella Nass and Robert Buberl attached hereto.
