Achen Attorney Meyers Engineer Hubbard MSP (Baumgartner Shelquist) for approval of the November 8, 1976 minutes. MSP (Shelquist- Hodges) for approval of the special council meeting minutes of November 15, 1976. CITIZENS COMMENTS AND REQUESTS Rodney Robinson, 8340 Long Lake Road, asked that the Council waive the need for a deed before getting a building permit. Mr. Robinson explained that on April 16th he turned over the abstract to his Attorney to file for torrens. He then had a buyer so he applied to the Council to split the property on October 25th. Mr. Robinson had the deeds typed up but his attorney advised him that this would cause problems with the torrens pro- ceedings. The property has been sold but there has not been a closing yet. The developer has already sold the house with a closing date of January 31st. The torrens hearing is set for December 15th but the contractor wants to get started before the ground freezes. 5 ayes Attorney Meyers explained that Mr. Robinson sold the west one -half of his property to a contractor and is now going through a torrens proceeding. The contractor wants to pull a building permit before the torrens proceedings are finished. Attorney Meyers stated that waiving this requirement would be contrary to what has been done in the past. Attorney Meyers stated that in the past the City has taken proposed deeds used for conveyance of parcels and executed it along with the amount needed for filing the deeds. This would guarantee that the parcel ould be conveyed. If this is a torrens the City cannot file it and will not be able to until after December 15th or longer. The proper procedure would be to have their attorney prepare proposed deeds for the City, with a filing fee, and a letter stating that he will deliver to the City a torrens certificate so the deed can be recorded. It should be sufficient if the City has the executed deeds and the assurances of their attorney that he will forward the torrens. 5 ayes Councilmember Rowley stated that if Attorney Meyers feels he will have control of this it would be acceptable to her. She explained that she did not want to see &N/ two houses on one lot at a future date. Attorney Meyers stated that before the 1'tiding permit is issued the City will have the deed and the attorney's assurances.
