7.02) Public Hearing on Dispensing with Statutory Requirements for Review by Planning
Commission of Disposal of Real Property for the South'/: of the West 100 feet of Lot 22,
Greer's Orchard Tracts
Public Works Director Cote reported on City owned parcel P.I.D. 34-118-22-43-0043. This is
one of the parcels that was identified with a questionable City purpose back in 2010. He stated
the City acquired this parcel from the Gunderson's on September 4, 1984, for the improvement
of Xenium Lane (now County Road No. 61). Rather than acquiring an easement for Xenium
Lane, leaving an unbuildable remnant for the Gundersons', the City decided it would be best to
acquire the parcel. He stated the City does not have any plans for the use of the remnant parcel.
He also stated when Hennepin County assumed jurisdiction of Xenium Lane, that portion of
P.I.D. 34-118-22-43-0043 used for the Xenium Lane improvements was never conveyed as an
easement to the County. At this time, Hennepin County is requesting an easement from the City
for these improvements.
In regards to the remnant portion of subject parcel, he stated that staff has had discussions with
the Fellings, owners of the adjacent parcel, about the possibility of them receiving ownership of
the City parcel. The Fellings have agreed to accept ownership of the parcel and combine it with
their parcel. The transfer of rights of the remnant portion, also includes Hennepin County's
easement area. Both the Fellings and the County understand that the deeded parcel includes the
Hennepin County's easement.
Mayor Slavik opened the public hearing.

Motion was made by Councilmember Bildsoe, seconded by Councilmember Wosje, to adopt a
