           An act relating to state lands; authorizing private 
          conveyance of tax-forfeited land bordering public 
          water in Washington county. 
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
    Section 1.  [TAX-FORFEITED LAND CONVEYANCE; WASHINGTON 
COUNTY.] 
    Notwithstanding Minnesota Statutes, chapter 282, section 
92.45, or other law, the commissioner of revenue may sell 
certain tax-forfeited land in Washington county described in 
this section by private sale to Mr. Jeff Barbour of Hugo, 
Minnesota.  
    The conveyance must be in a form approved by the attorney 
general for a consideration of the amount of taxes due on the 
property and any penalties, interest, and costs.  
    The property to be sold is in Washington county, is 
designated as tax parcel 93026-2720, consists of approximately 
18 acres, and is described as:  
    (1) That part of the Northwest Quarter of Section 26, 
Township 31, Range 21, commencing at the west quarter corner of 
said Section 26, thence northerly along the west line of said 
Northwest Quarter a distance of 134 feet to the actual point of 
beginning, thence easterly parallel with the south line of said 
Northwest Quarter a distance of 1500 feet thence northerly 
parallel with said west line 726 feet thence westerly parallel 
with said south line to said west line thence southerly along 
said west line to the point of beginning, subject to easement of 
record, along with an easement for roadway purposes to provide 
access to property to be conveyed, described herein, said 
easement being over 33 foot strip of land extending from the 
easterly border of property to be conveyed, described herein, to 
County Road No. 8A, specific location of road has not yet been 
determined - Grantees agree to provide more detailed description 
of the 33 foot strip of land after the road has been 
constructed; and 
     (2) That part of the South Half of the Northwest Quarter of 
Section 26, Township 31, Range 21, lying east of County Road No. 
8A, except the following description:  that part of the 
Northwest Quarter of Section 26, Township 31, Range 21, 
commencing at the west quarter corner of said Section 26 thence 
northerly along the west line of said Northwest Quarter a 
distance of 134 feet to the actual point of beginning, thence 
easterly parallel with the south line of said Northwest Quarter 
a distance of 600.08 feet thence northerly parallel with said 
west line 726 feet thence westerly parallel with said south line 
to said west line thence southerly along said west line to the 
point of beginning, subject to easement of record, if any, along 
with the 33 foot wide easement for roadway purposes.  
    Mr. Barbour, by mistake, failed to pay the taxes.  Over 50 
feet of the property borders public water and Washington county 
finds that the property would be put to better use if returned 
to private use. 
    Sec. 2.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
    Section 1 is effective the day following final enactment.
