BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:
Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 92.46,
subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. [PUBLIC CAMPGROUNDS.] (a) The director may
designate suitable portions of the state lands withdrawn from
sale and not reserved, as provided in section 92.45, as
permanent state public campgrounds. The director may have the
land surveyed and platted into lots of convenient size, and
lease them for cottage and camp purposes under terms and
conditions the director prescribes, subject to the provisions of
this section.
(b) A lease may not be for a term more than 20 years. The
lease may allow renewal, from time to time, for additional terms
of no longer than 20 years each. The lease may be canceled by
the commissioner 90 days after giving the person leasing the
land written notice of violation of lease conditions. The lease
rate shall be based on the appraised value of leased land as
determined by the commissioner of natural resources and shall be
adjusted by the commissioner at the fifth, tenth, and 15th
anniversary of the lease, if the appraised value has increased
or decreased. For leases that are renewed in 1991 and following
years, the lease rate shall be five percent of the appraised
value of the leased land. The appraised value shall be the
value of the leased land without any private improvements and
must be comparable to similar land without any improvements
within the same county. The minimum appraised value that the
commissioner assigns to the leased land must be substantially
equal to the county assessor's estimated market value of similar
land adjusted by the assessment/sales ratio as determined by the
department of revenue.
(c) By July 1, 1986, the commissioner of natural resources
shall adopt rules under chapter 14 to establish procedures for
leasing land under this section. The rules shall be subject to
review and approval by the commissioners of revenue and
administration prior to the initial publication pursuant to
chapter 14 and prior to their final adoption. The rules must
address at least the following:
(1) method of appraising the property; and
(2) determination of lease rates; and
(3) an appeal procedure for both the appraised values and
lease rates.
(d) All money received from these leases must be credited
to the fund to which the proceeds of the land belong.
Notwithstanding section 16A.125 or any other law to the
contrary, 50 percent of the money received from the lease of
permanent school fund lands leased pursuant to this subdivision
shall be deposited into the permanent school trust fund.
However, in fiscal years 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992,
the money received from the lease of permanent school fund lands
that would otherwise be deposited into the permanent school fund
is hereby appropriated to survey, appraise, and pay associated
selling costs of lots as required in section 92.67, subdivision
3. The money appropriated may not be used to pay the cost of
surveying lots not scheduled for sale. Any money designated for
deposit in the permanent school fund that is not needed to
survey, appraise, and pay associated selling costs of lots, as
required in section 92.67, shall be deposited in the permanent
school fund. The commissioner shall add to the appraised value
of any lot offered for sale the costs of surveying, appraising,
and selling the lot, and shall first deposit into the permanent
school fund an amount equal to the costs of surveying,
appraising, and selling any lot paid out of the permanent school
fund. Any remaining money shall be deposited into any other
contributing funds in proportion to the contribution from each
fund. In no case may the commissioner add to the appraised
value of any lot offered for sale an amount more than $700 for
the costs of surveying and appraising the lot.
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 92.67,
subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. [SALE REQUIREMENT.] Notwithstanding section
92.45 or any other law, at the request of a lessee or as
otherwise provided in this section, the commissioner of natural
resources shall sell state property bordering public waters that
is leased for the purpose of a private cabin under section
92.46. Requests for sale must be made prior to December 31,
1992, and the commissioner shall complete all requested sales
and sales arising from those requests by December 31, 1993,
subject to subdivision 3, clause (d). The sale shall be made in
accordance with laws providing for the sale of trust fund land
except as modified by the provisions of this section. In 1990
and 1991 a request for sale may be withdrawn by a lessee at any
time more than ten days before the day set for a sale. Property
withdrawn from sale by its lessee is not subject to sale under
this section until the lessee makes another request. Property
withdrawn from sale shall continue to be governed by other law.
Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 92.67,
subdivision 4, is amended to read:
Subd. 4. [TIMING OF SALES.] (a) The commissioner shall
offer lakeshore cabin site lots for sale pursuant to written
request and in accordance with the following schedule:
(1) as to requests received before January 1, 1988, the
sale shall be held not later than by October 31, 1988, if
possible. However, if a lot is not offered for sale by that
date, the lot shall be offered for sale at the next sale in the
next year;
(2) as to requests received each calendar year after
December 31, 1987, the sale shall be held in June, July, or
August of the year after the request is received;
(3) notwithstanding clause (2), the commissioner may offer
a lot for sale in the year the request is received if the
commissioner will offer for sale in that year other lots platted
with the late requested lot;
(4) notwithstanding clause (2), if more than 50 percent of
the lessees in a platted area request by December 31 of a
calendar year that their lots be offered for sale, the
commissioner shall offer for sale at one time during June, July,
or August of the following year all lots in a platted area. If
a lessee, whose lot is located in a plat where more than 50
percent of the lessees request that their lots be offered for
sale, requests in writing that the lessee's lot not be offered
for sale, the commissioner may not offer the lot for sale until
1993; and
(5) lots that are unsold for any reason at the end of 1993
shall be offered for sale in increments over a period of five
years beginning in 1994. Lots that are unsold for any reason at
the end of 1998 shall be offered for sale in 1999 and each year
thereafter until sold.
(b) Lots not sold the first year offered may be reoffered
in a succeeding year, following reappraisal if it is determined
necessary by the commissioner.
(c) If a person other than the lessee purchases the leased
lakeshore cabin site, the purchaser must make payment in full to
the lessee, in the manner provided in section 92.06, subdivision
4, for the appraised value of any improvements. Failure of a
successful bidder to comply with this provision voids the sale
and the property may be reoffered for sale as provided in
section 92.06, subdivision 4.
