September 8, 1977 TO: City Council Little Canada, Minnesota 55110 SUBJECT: Request for variance due to hardship imposed by easement.° RE: Lot #110 -15 at 3298 Twin Lake Road I have just discovered that my property which I had thought was four lots has had two easements taken against it to an extent or greater that I had known about. I had believed this property to have a west boundary of 137.5 feet running east on the north boundary for a 165 feet going north again for 40 feet continuing east for 100 feet then south for 177.5 feet then west for 265 feet. This belief was confirmed as late as June, 1976 by an updated abstract title and legal description verified by your records. I now desire to subdivide this land into three lots only to be informed that ease- ments have been taken against my property that would prohibit such subdivision if such subdivision was in full compliance with the city codes. Further justification of my right to believe the land and the legal description was in fact all mine are the following facts; 1. I have not been informed of any road easement being taken against my property to the extent indicated by your plot map. 2. Twin Lake Road,at present, on neither the east or south boundaries of my property is more than two lanes wide. 3. There are no surveyor stakes or any other indication of a road easement. 4. I believe I am taxed on the full legal description of my property. 5. The City has performed no care or maintenance on any of the property in question and in fact has been left completely in my care. 6. The sewer line installed by the village has four outlets into my property - three along the south boundary and one along the west boundary. 7. I have not been reimbursed of any property under condemnation proceedings or any other proceedings that would legally deprive me of full rights and enjoyment of this property without due process of law that was guaranteed me by the Constitution of the United States. (Such deprivation may be difficult to acquire since subject easement is only on the north side of the street along my southern boundary not equally on both sides of the street.) Due to the arbitrary nature of the alleged easements, I have been caused to suffer not just the loss of property and the time and money spent in the upkeep of property legally mine but extreme mental anguish and torment by the anything but above -board tactics used by the City in their attempts to confiscate my land. Also, to the best of my knowledge and belief the City has published no plans nor notice to utilize this land. 0006
