CITY PROPOSAL:
WHEREAS, on December 17, 1984, the city council passed Resolution 84-0889 approving Chapter 390 of Laws of Minnesota, 1984, in conformance with the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Section 645.021 Subd. 1 and purporting to dedicate buffer zone easements on certain property described in said resolution which imposed restrictions on said property, which resolution was recorded in the office of the St. Louis County recorder as document no. 388410 and in the office of the St. Louis County registrar of titles as document no. 464585; and
