• PLANNING COMMISSION Page 7 <br /> September 16, 1998 <br /> Associate Ericson gave his report as follows: <br /> Ramsey County has notified the City of the availability of tax forfeited properties. There are three <br /> properties that are located within the Greenfield Pond Subdivision, the Harstad Subdivision. The <br /> properties were identified as Outlot A(the entire wetland area), Outlot B and Lot 3 which are <br /> located on the unimproved Edgewood Drive. The City currently has a drainage easement over <br /> the entirety of the wetland, Outlot A and B and part of Lot 3. Staff was asking the Commission <br /> for its opinion in regards to the City purchasing any or all of the properties. A second option <br /> would be to acquire a $200 "Use Deed" from the County which would give the City exclusive <br /> rights to utilize the property for a specific purpose, i.e., drainage. Lot 3, with extensive soils <br /> corrections is the only buildable lot. <br /> Obert stated the property should be left available for private development. <br /> Peterson stated the "Use Deed" would be the best option. <br /> Ericson stated staff would verify that there is no need for the property in terms of additional <br /> drainage, mitigation, or for any other reason. If the City does not have a need for the properties <br /> • then a recommendation to "pass" on the properties will be forwarded to the Council. <br /> 8. Chairperson and Planning Commissioners' Reports <br /> No reports were considered. <br /> 9. Adjournment to Agenda Meeting <br /> There being no further business before the Planning Commission Chairperson Peterson adjourned <br /> the meeting at 8:45. <br /> (The meeting immediately adjourned to the Agenda Session) <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Rick Jopke <br /> Community Development Director <br /> • <br />
