At the <br /> time of that approval, in order to rectify a problem with the location of <br /> a structure on one of the newly created parcels, the City Council, by <br /> resolution, deeded a portion of Groveland Park to the applicant so that the <br /> aforementioned structure would be in conformance with City codes. When the <br /> applicant attempted to record the subdivision with Ramsey County, she was <br /> informed that the property the City was deeding over to her was, in fact, <br /> not owned by the City. Rather, the property was under the ownership of the <br /> State of Minnesota. Further, a significant portion of what is Groveland <br /> Park is also owned by the State via tax-forfeiture. <br /> After meeting with officials from Ramsey County, staff will need to <br /> undertake the following steps in order to clarify the entire situation: <br /> 1. Obtain use of the tax-forfeited property by supplying the County with <br /> a certified City Council resolution stating the purpose for requesting the <br /> tax-forfeited property (park) and, stating the reason for purchasing a 10 <br /> foot strip of that property (for resale to the heirs of Arlien Newton) . <br /> 2 .
