ULIERING ..ASSO(IflTtS TAUT: 110M!! Memo TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer DATE: April 18, 2008 RE: St. Jude Final Plat At the Planning Commission meeting there was a concern raised by a resident of the Oakmont Condominiums in regards to the Jackson Street right -of -way, vacated right -of- way, and ownership of the vacated right -of -way as it relates to the new St. Jude Medical plat. This memo is to help clarify the accuracy of the plat and hopefully answer any questions regarding property ownership. The property line between the St. Jude Medical property and the Oakmont Condominium property is a quarter section line of Section 7. This quarter section line is also the west edge of the existing Jackson Street right -of -way, meaning all of the past or existing right - of -way for Jackson Street was east of the quarter section line. The City had vacated the portion of the Jackson Street right -of -way south of the existing cul -de -sac in the past and that property reverted back to the Oakmont Condominium property. The confusion comes from the fact that St. Jude is dedicating an additional 30 feet of right -of -way for Jackson Street west of the quarter section line of Section 7, and therefore the 30 foot strip south of this new right -of -way is owned by St. Jude and is shown as part of the St. Jude property. It is not the old right -of -way of Jackson Street that was vacated back to the Oakmont Condominium property that lies east of the quarter section line. It should also be noted that prior to recording the plat, Ramsey County will be reviewing and verifying the property ownership of everything within the plat boundary for errors. Therefore the City and Oakmont Condominium can be assured that St. Jude will not be claiming rights to any property it does not own.
