                         Laws of Minnesota 1988 

                        CHAPTER 494-H.F.No. 2551 
           An act relating to state lands; authorizing private 
          conveyance of tax-forfeited land in St. Louis county.  
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
    Section 1.  [TAX-FORFEITED LAND CONVEYANCE; ST. LOUIS 
COUNTY.] 
    Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, chapter 282, section 
92.45, or any other law, the commissioner of revenue may sell 
certain tax-forfeited land in St. Louis county described in this 
section by private sale to Mr. William R. Steger, Jr.  
    The conveyance must be in a form approved by the attorney 
general for a consideration of the amount of taxes due on the 
property.  
    The property to be sold is in St. Louis county described as 
tax parcel 465-20-1530 consisting of:  
    The part of the south half of the northeast quarter, 
Section 12, Township 63 North, Range 12 West that lies 
southeasterly of Picketts Lake. 
    The property to be sold was purchased by Mr. Steger from 
Dynamic Enterprises, Inc.  Due to confusion of an overpayment on 
another piece of property and the tax bill for this piece of 
property not being sent to the appropriate owner, the property 
forfeited for unpaid taxes.  
    Sec. 2.  [ST. LOUIS COUNTY CONVEYANCE.] 
    Notwithstanding the public sale requirements of Minnesota 
Statutes, section 282.01, restrictions on selling lakeshore 
property under section 92.45, St. Louis county may sell and 
convey tax-forfeited land described in this section to Tom 
Reagan, 8300 Newby Court, Springfield, Virginia 22151, at 
private sale, but otherwise in the manner provided for 
appraisal, sale, and conveyance of tax-forfeited land by 
Minnesota Statutes, chapter 282.  
    The land that may be sold consists of approximately 8.76 
acres and is in St. Louis county and described as: 
     That part of Government Lot 3, Section 21, Township 56 
North, Range 14 West, St. Louis county, Minnesota, lying 
westerly of the following described line: 
    Commencing at the northwest corner of said section 21; 
thence north 87 degrees 56 minutes 17 seconds west, along the 
north line of said section, a distance of 1117.10 feet; to the 
point of beginning; thence south 0 degrees 27 minutes 36 seconds 
east, parallel with the west line of the northerly part of 
Government Lot 3; a distance of 1825 feet more or less to the 
lakeshore and said line there terminating. 
     The property to be sold contains a cabin that was 
inadvertently built on tax-forfeited lakefront property.  
Linwood Lake is irregularly shaped and the irregular meander 
lines have resulted in structures being mislocated. 
    Sec. 3.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
    This act is effective the day following final enactment. 
    Approved April 12, 1988
