1.20 84.0272 [PROCEDURE IN ACQUIRING LANDS.]
1.21 Subdivision 1. [ACQUISITION PROCEDURE.] When the
1.22 commissioner of natural resources is authorized to acquire lands
1.23 or interests in lands the procedure set forth in this section
1.24 shall apply. The commissioner of natural resources shall first
1.25 prepare a fact sheet showing the lands to be acquired, the legal
1.26 authority for their acquisition, and the qualities of the land
1.27 that make it a desirable acquisition. The commissioner of
1.28 natural resources shall cause the lands to be appraised. An
1.29 appraiser shall before entering upon the duties of office take
1.30 and subscribe an oath to faithfully and impartially discharge
1.31 the duties as appraiser according to the best of the appraiser's
2.1 ability and that the appraiser is not interested directly or
2.2 indirectly in any of the lands to be appraised or the timber or
2.3 improvements thereon or in the sale thereof and has entered into
2.4 no agreement or combination to purchase the same or any part
2.5 thereof, which oath shall be attached to the report of the
2.6 appraisal. The commissioner of natural resources may pay less
2.7 than the appraised value, but shall not agree to pay more than
2.8 ten percent above the appraised value, except that if the
2.9 commissioner pays less than the appraised value for a parcel of
2.10 land, the difference between the purchase price and the
2.11 appraised value may be used to apply to purchases at more than
2.12 the appraised value. The sum of accumulated differences between
2.13 appraised amounts and purchases for more than the appraised
2.14 amount may not exceed the sum of accumulated differences between
2.15 appraised amounts and purchases for less than the appraised
2.16 amount. New appraisals may be made at the discretion of the
2.17 commissioner of natural resources.
2.18 Subd. 2. [STREAM EASEMENTS.] (a) Notwithstanding
2.19 subdivision 1, the commissioner may acquire permanent stream
2.20 easements for angler access, fish management, and habitat work
2.21 for a onetime payment based on a value attributed to both the
2.22 stream and the easement corridor. The payment shall equal:
2.23 (1) the per linear foot of stream within the easement
2.24 corridor times $5; plus
2.25 (2) the easement corridor acres times the estimated market
2.26 value.
2.27 (b) The estimated market value is equal to:
2.28 (1) the total farm market value plus the timberlands value;
2.29 divided by
2.30 (2) the acres of deeded farmland plus the acres of timber.
2.31 (c) The total farm market value, timberlands value, acres
2.32 of deeded farmland, and acres of timber are determined from data
2.33 collected by the department of revenue during its annual spring
2.34 mini abstract survey. The commissioner must use the most recent
2.35 available data for the city or township within which the
2.36 easement corridor is located.
3.1 (d) The commissioner shall periodically review the easement
3.2 payment rates under this subdivision to determine whether the
3.3 stream easement payments reflect current shoreland market
3.4 values. If the commissioner determines that the easements do
3.5 not reflect current shoreland market values, the commissioner
3.6 shall report to the senate and house of representatives natural
3.7 resources policy committees with recommendations for changes to
3.8 this subdivision that are necessary for the stream easement
3.9 payment rates to reflect current shoreland market values. The
3.10 recommendations may include an adjustment to the dollar amount
3.11 in paragraph (a), clause (1).
3.12 Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 85.015,

3.28 there terminate.
3.29 (b) The trail shall be developed primarily for riding and
3.30 hiking as a multiuse, multiseasonal, dual treadway trail.

4.23 whether the land is held in trust for taxing districts, and
4.24 which borders on or is adjacent to meandered lakes and other
4.25 public waters and watercourses, and the live timber growing or
4.26 being thereon, is hereby withdrawn from sale except as
4.27 hereinafter provided. The authority having jurisdiction over
4.28 the timber on any such lands may sell the timber as otherwise
4.29 provided by law for cutting and removal under such conditions as
4.30 the authority may prescribe in accordance with approved,
4.31 sustained yield forestry practices. The authority having
4.32 jurisdiction over the timber shall reserve such timber and
4.33 impose such conditions as the authority deems necessary for the
4.34 protection of watersheds, wildlife habitat, shorelines, and
4.35 scenic features. Within the area in Cook, Lake, and St. Louis
4.36 counties described in the Act of Congress approved July 10, 1930
5.1 (46 Stat. 1020), the timber on tax-forfeited lands shall be

5.5 meandered lakes and other public waters and watercourses and so
5.6 withdrawn from sale, a strip two rods in width, the ordinary
5.7 high-water mark being the waterside boundary thereof, and the

5.9 ordinary high-water mark and two rods distant landward
5.10 therefrom, hereby is reserved for public travel thereon, and
5.11 whatever the conformation of the shore line or conditions
5.12 require, the authority having jurisdiction over such lands shall
5.13 reserve a wider strip for such purposes.
5.14 (c) Any tract or parcel of land which has 50 150 feet or
5.15 less of waterfront may be sold by the authority having
5.16 jurisdiction over the land, in the manner otherwise provided by
5.17 law for the sale of such lands, if the authority determines that
5.18 it is in the public interest to do so. If the authority having
5.19 jurisdiction over the land is not the commissioner of natural
5.20 resources, the land may not be offered for sale without the
5.21 prior approval of the commissioner of natural resources.
5.22 (d) Where the authority having jurisdiction over lands
5.23 withdrawn from sale under this section is not the commissioner
5.24 of natural resources, the authority may submit proposals for
5.25 disposition of the lands to the commissioner. The commissioner
5.26 of natural resources shall evaluate the lands and their public
5.27 benefits and make recommendations on the proposed dispositions
5.28 to the committees of the legislature with jurisdiction over
5.29 natural resources. The commissioner shall include any
5.30 recommendations of the commissioner for disposition of lands
5.31 withdrawn from sale under this section over which the
5.32 commissioner has jurisdiction. The commissioner's
5.33 recommendations may include a public sale, sale to a private
5.34 party, acquisition by the department of natural resources for
5.35 public purposes, or a cooperative management agreement with, or
5.36 transfer to, another unit of government.
