  1.20     of said Section 5 for 781.42 feet to the point of beginning 
  1.21     of the line to be described; thence on an azimuth of 108 
  1.22     degrees 12 minutes 41 seconds, 231.14 feet; thence on an

  2.2      (b) The conveyance shall be by quit claim deed without 
  2.3   consideration in a form approved by the attorney general. 
  2.4      (c) This property was acquired by the Department of 
  2.5   Transportation for construction of a new portion of Trunk 
  2.6   Highway 10 west of Interstate Highway 35W.  The property was not 
  2.7   needed for highway purposes.  In 1988, the commissioner of 
  2.8   transportation deeded the property to the city of Mounds View 
  2.9   subject to a right of reverter.  The state of Minnesota and the 
  2.10  Department of Transportation no longer need the right of 
  2.11  reverter.

  2.13  executed development agreement to redevelop the land described 
  2.14  in paragraph (a) by January 1, 2007, all right, title, and 
  2.15  interest in the land shall revert back to the Department of 
  2.16  Transportation unless the land is still used for a public 
  2.17  purpose.  If the land is not subject to a fully executed 
  2.18  development agreement and is still used for a public purpose on 
  2.19  or after January 1, 2007, the land may continue to be used for 
  2.20  such public purpose by the city of Mounds View, subject to a 
  2.21  right of reverter if the land ceases to be used for a public 
  2.22  purpose.
