• CHAPTER 15 <br /> • The council adopts the map by ordinance. <br /> • The city files the ordinance and the official map with the county recorder. <br /> An official map may show purposes for future streets and sites for other <br /> necessary public facilities and services. The purpose of the map is to permit <br /> both private and public property owners to adjust building plans equitably <br /> and conveniently before investments are made. <br /> After a major thoroughfare plan and facilities are prepared by the planning <br /> agency and recommended to the council,the agency may prepare and <br /> recommend the official map. <br /> Following the adoption and filing of an official map,the issuance of building <br /> permits are subject to its provisions. If any building is built without a <br /> building permit or in violation of permit conditions, a municipality does not <br /> have to compensate a landowner whose building may be destroyed if a street <br /> is widened. In other words, while the official map does not give any interest <br /> in land, it does authorize the municipality to acquire such interests in the <br /> future without having to pay compensation for buildings that are erected. <br /> The board of adjustments and appeals is authorized to grant a building permit <br /> upon finding that the entire property cannot otherwise yield a reasonable <br /> return to the landowner and that a balancing of interests requires granting the <br /> permit. <br /> XIII. Interim uses <br /> Minn.stat.§462.3597. An interim use is a temporary use of property until a certain date or until the <br /> use is no longer permitted. Authority for an interim use is found in the zoning <br /> ordinances where conditions for the use are also specified. Typically,the <br /> conditions will require the use to conform with the zoning code, a termination <br /> date is certain,no additional costs to the public will be incurred, and the user <br /> agrees to additional,reasonable conditions imposed by the council. <br /> Minn Stat.§462.355,subd 4. If a study is being conducted or has been authorized,if a hearing has been <br /> held or is scheduled for the purpose of considering adoption or amendment of <br /> a comprehensive plan or zoning amendment, or if an annexation has <br /> occurred,the council may adopt an interim ordinance to protect the planning <br /> process that regulates,restricts or prohibits any use,_development or <br /> subdivision for a period not to exceed one year from the date it is effective. <br /> HANDBOOK FOR MINNESOTA CITIES 15-33 <br /> This chapter last revised 12/15/2004 <br />
