KR Farm Land Holdings, LLC, Parcel Identification Number 75-136-1200 <br />Allen Roessler, representing KR Farm Land Holdings, requested that the parcel above be <br />reclassified as Agricultural for the 2011 assessment. <br />Mr. Kritzeck explained that LLC companies are required to register with the Minnesota <br />Department of Agriculture in order to farm. Mr. Roessler stated that his family's LLC falls <br />under an exemption to that rule because their LLC is 100% owned by his father. <br />Ms. Henderson indicated that the property has been classified as Residential since 2007. She <br />stated that KR Farm Land Holdings LLC purchased the property in May 2010 but never <br />contacted the assessor's office to have someone review the use of the property. She stated <br />that the burden of proof for the use of the property lies with KR Farm Land Holdings LLC. <br />She noted that the company owns agricultural property in other counties so filing a schedule <br />F may not be sufficient to prove farm income in Sherburne County. <br />MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER ZERWAS AND SECONDED BY <br />COUNCILMEMBER WESTGAARD TO MAKE NO CHANGE TO PARCEL 75- <br />136-1200. MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br />7. KR Farm Land Holdings, LLC, Parcel Identification Number 75-125-4101 <br />Allen Roessler, representing KR Farm Land Holdings, LLC, requested that the Board extend <br />his Green Acres application deadline until he can get the Green Acres issue resolved. <br />Ms. Henderson stated that the Agricultural and Green Acres issue is complex. She stated <br />that she has a letter dated December 29, 2009, regarding the corporate farm law that says <br />that certain entities, including LLC companies, are required to register with the Minnesota <br />Department of Agriculture simply to own farm land. She stated that Mr. Roessler has <br />indicated that his family's LLC is exempt and she explained that the burden of proof lies <br />with the LLC. She stated that the assessor will need a letter from the Minnesota Department <br />of Agriculture proving their company is exempt. <br />MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER ZERWAS AND SECONDED BY <br />COUNCILMEMBER WESTGAARD TO MAKE NO CHANGE TO PARCEL ?5- <br />125-4101.
