RESOLUTION WAIVING APPLICATION OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS TO
ALLOW RECORDING OF METES AND BOUNDS CONVEYANCE
WHEREAS, the City is purchasing a portion of certain property commonly referred to as
the Hutchinson Spur for purposes of trail development; and
WHEREAS, as part of the same transaction, a separate lot will be created upon which is
located an existing billboard and radio tower located on the Hutchinson Spur property south
of 36th Street; and
WHEREAS, no development activity other than a public trail is taking place on the
portion of Hutchinson Spur being acquired by the City; and
WHEREAS, no development is taking place on the billboard and radio tower lot. The
billboard will retain its current legal status as a non -conforming use.
NOW, THEREFORE, the St. Louis Park City Council resolves as follows:
1. Since no private development is taking place on the Hutchinson Spur parcels being
acquired by the City or the lot encompassing the billboard pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
§462.358, subd. 4b, the City Council hereby finds that compliance with the City subdivision
regulations will create an unnecessary hardship and failure to comply does not interfere with
the purpose of the subdivision regulations.
2. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §462.358, subd. 4b, the St. Louis Park City Council
hereby waives compliance with its subdivision regulations and authorizes the filing and
recording of metes and bounds conveyances of the parcels described in Exhibits "A" and "B".
