ITEM: 4.1 EDA ITEM - Bryan K. Schafer, Planning and Community Development Director
Title
APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF FIVE (5) PARCELS (OUTLOTS AND REMNANTS) TO THE CITY OF BLAINE.
Background
Anoka County has identified five parcels owned by the Blaine EDA that are exempt from the tax roles. These parcels are currently used for either a holding pond as part of a road or commercial/industrial development, remnant or a wetland. However, Minnesota Statute 272.02 SUBD 39, the properties are no longer eligible for exemption from property taxes. Since none of these parcels can be developed, the EDA needs to transfer the parcels to the city. The PID numbers for these parcels are:
31-31-23-44-0008 |
8520 Able Street (small remnant parcel) |
24-31-23-21-0004 |
No Address (landlocked 1/2 acre next to Eastside Park) |
27-31-23-12-0009 |
Outlot A Deer Ridge Industrial Park (wetland) |
24-31-23-22-0010 |
Outlot B Pheasant Ridge Village (wetland-storm drainage) |
24-31-23-22-0011 |
Outlot B Pheasant Ridge Village (wetland-storm drainage) |
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
