Public Hearing - Highland Subdivision Preliminary Plat (city file 11 -010) i. No one came forward to speak on the matter The Planning Commission asked whether the parcel was one parcel or two. Although Hennepin County shows the property with two PID numbers, the applicant provided a title commitment that Highland Subdivision (city file 11 -010) 2 November 21, 2011 meeting shows that the two parcels were consolidated in 2009 under a quiet title. The city has no record of this and the Mayor asked if that quiet title was perhaps not recorded at the County.
