A' restrictive covenant, such as a provision in a deed nothing except a residential home can be built on a piece of land, is 'a private agreement, between grantor and grantee that runs with the land. This Means anybody that purchases this particular property takes it subject'to the I restriction imposed. This will appear of record in deeds'and other documents relating to said parcel of land. In determine what restrictive covenants go with oach,paroel of land it would be necessary to examine the title for Mach parcel involved and find the particular document that may have imposed 'the restriction. Most restrictions run for 20 to 25 years 'at which time they lapse. After the lapse date the restriction no longer applies andlthe land is free of the covennnt. If a'parcel of land had a restriction such as I have described above, and a grantee 'would attempt to build a commercial business on said 'land, court action could be brought by parties of interest to prohibit the construction of the commercial building. Because of this potential, the builder of a commercial building would be unable to get a mortgage on said property. This restriction, however is a private matter between grantors and grantees and other parties of interest, but not the governing body of the 4 community wherein the land lies. Village Council -2- Zoning regulations are imposed by the municipality. These regulations may coincide, be more liberal, or be more restrictive then the private restrictive covenants described above. Therefore if the municipality had zoned a particular parcel commercial, but a valid restrictive covenant was still on the property prohibiting commercial development, a person attempting to develop, the property commercially could be stopped by the private individuals involved but would not be stopped by the municipality since the municipality has no interest in private restrictive covenants. If the Planning Commission would like to know the status of the restrictive covenants on land bordering Highway 10, it is my recommendation that each time a parcel on the Highway comes before the Council for zoning consideration, that the property owner supply to the Village an up -to -date abstract of title, or s registered property certificate, so that I can be directed to examine said title and inform the council or the property owners involved of the restrictions that would apply. I would also be able to inform the Council as to whether or not the restrictions have lapsed or are otherwise P valid or invalid. To conduct a search at this time on all property' abutting the highway would be very expensive since abstracts would have to be ordered for each parcel along said highway and a title opinion rendered for each parcel. The minimum bar schedule for, 'title opinions is a minimum of $50.00 plus an hourly charge for more complicated titles. If you have any further questions relative ¢his problem R Y would be glad to be of assistance. .1> ARNOLD 1 >YINSCSa MI11AtL MINVM• AICHAIID MS 1U JAMtS J CCNUM•CNtn ALVIN MAlMn4 ROOMY M in NM>.

Much of the Planners work could have been euhieved with common sensa. He said they triad to locate industry near their heavily traveled roads.

At that time it was decided that Land -use and thoroughfares should be the first areas to be pursued. The 'Planning Commission over the last one and one -half years has been working on these two components of the comprehensive plan. The result thus far is the proposed land use plan being presented at the town meeting. Thn reasons for developing a comprehensive plan are largely answered in describing what such a plan is and what it door Basically, a comprehensive plan is an official public document adopted by a local government as a policy guide to decisions about the physical develop- ment of the community. The plan is both general and long range in nature. "General." means that the plan summarizes policies and proposals and does not indicate specific locations or detailed regulations. "Long range" indicates that the plan looks beyond the foreground of pressing current issues to the perspective of problems and possibilities 10, 20, and 30 years in the future. While it is long range in nature, it is also used to shape current so the community might approximate in 20 years the appearance comprehensive plan. Because of a comprehensive plan's general nature, it can accomplish what single purpose plans cannot. By looking at the village as a whole and not a specific part, policy decisions become available which are based on the effect -that a specific improvement or decision has on the overall goals and plans of the community. Also specific plane can be tied together more easily once the general goals of the community have been developed. one further purpose of the comprehensive plan is the groundwork lays for development guidelines and ordinances. This is often an area of great confusion, with clarification necessary. Zoning and subdivision regulations are essential to the effectuation of a comprehensive plan, but they are not often concerned as to the effect the plan has on them. A comprehensive plan does not rezone any properties. Rezoning requires public notice and a public hearing for each parcel involved. The plan, however, does act as a guide for future rezonings whether upon petition of the land owner or by council initiative. Zoning ordinance changes, subdivision regulation changes, and rezonings 'may be guided by a comprehensive plan, but they are not a part of it. The proposed land -use plan presented at the town meeting is only a start. Much work remains to be done. However, both now and in the near future the residents of New Brighton have an opportunity to provide input into what the community will be like 20 years from now.
