PROPOSED RESOLUTION
A RESOLUTION ALLOWING THE WAIVER OF CHAPTER 152 SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS AND RECORDING OF SUBDIVIDED PROPERTY
(Bethany Lutheran Church to City of Luverne)
body
The City of Luverne received $180,000 in state grant money to construct a storm water detention basin near T.H. 75 and Estey Street to address frequent flooding caused by large storm events. The project will intercept and temporarily store runoff from a 47-acre watershed-including residential, commercial, and public spaces-helping to reduce downstream flood risks for local streets and residences. The City is partnering with MnDOT to align the basin construction with planned highway improvements in 2026. This proposed resolution allows the waiver of subdivision requirements to allow Bethany Lutheran Church to subdivide and convey 1.13 acres of land to the City for $50,000 for this project.
recommendation
City Administrator Recommendation: City Council Adopt Proposed Resolution No. 19-25.
