SUBJ: Adoption of Official Mapping Ordinance-First Reading
File No. PW210
Official maps are authorized by the Minnesota Municipal Planning
I Act, Minnesota Statutes, Sections 462. 351 through 462. 36 . The
primary purpose of the official map is to allow the City to pro-
tect specific transportation corridors for future use, thus hope-
' fully avoiding prohibitive acquisition costs for these corridors
in the future when needed and also allowing individual property
owners to conduct land transactions without being hampered by the
City' s inability to map a specific corridor for preservation.
IIThe specific case in point is the recent Trunk Highway 101
realignment between proposed Trunk Highway 212 and Trunk Highway
I 5 which the Council indicated its preference for at the April 24 ,
1989 City Council meeting. Likewise, the City in the near future
should be receiving an updated Trunk Highway 212 layout for adop-
tion of an official map. Since City ordinances do not currently
address this process , the City Attorney has prepared the attached
ordinance amending Chapter 15 of the City Code relating to offi-
cial maps . City Council protocol suggests two readings of new
I ordinances . In instances where time is of the essence, the
second reading can be waived at the Council ' s discretion.
I It is therefore recommended that the attached amendment to
Chapter 15 of the City Code relating to official maps be approved
by the City Council and scheduled for a second reading on May 16 ,
1989 .

every proposed official map or change in a map shall be referred
to the Planning Commission for advice and recommendation thereon,
' and such recommendation shall be submitted to the City Council
within forty-five (45) days after reference to the Planning
Commission along with the report of the Commission on the effect
of the proposal on the comprehensive plan of the City. If no
recommendation is received by the Council from the Planning
Commission within forty-five (45) days after reference of the
proposal to the Commission by the Council, the Council may take
such action as it may deem proper upon the proposal without
further action by the Planning Commission.
' 15-25 Notice and Hearing.
A. Notice. Upon receiving the recommendation of the
Planning Commission or after forty-five (45) days from the
' submission of the proposal to the Planning Commission without a
recommendation from the Commission, the Council may call a public
hearing on the proposal. A notice of the time, place, and purpose
' of the hearing and a descriptign of property to be included in the
mapped streets and public grounds shall be published in the
official newspaper at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the
hearing. At least ten (10) days prior to the hearing the Clerk may
' also mail a copy of the notice to each owner of land situated
within or abutting any street or other public ground shown on the
official map. For purposes of this notice the owners shall be
' determined by the records of the County Auditor and the notice
shall be addressed to the last known address as shown by the
Auditor's records. Failure to serve any such notice shall not
' invalidate the proceedings.
B. Hearing. At the time and place specified in the
notice, the Council shall hear evidence and arguments concerning
' the proposal. The hearing may be continued from time to time
without further notice. The Council may direct the Planning
Commission to conduct a hearing and following the hearing to
' report its recommendation to the Council.
15-26 Preparation and Filing of Maps. The official map or maps
shall be prepared in sufficient detail to permit the establishment
' of future acquisition lines on the ground. In unplatted areas a
minimum of a centerline survey shall be made prior to the
preparation of the final draft of the official map. After
' enactment of any ordinance adopting an official map or amending or
repealing a previous official map ordinance, a certified copy of
the official map or section to which the ordinance relates
together with an attached copy of the ordinance shall be filed
with the County Recorder.
15-27 Effect. After an official map has been adopted and filed,
' the issuance of building permits by the City shall be subject to
the provisions of this ordinance. The City shall deny every
application for a permit to construct a new building or structure
or expand an existing building or structure within any area
