`CJ4G 24274 4tnai G <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />June 19, 1992 <br />TO: Mayor Hanson and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Kathy Glanzer, Administrative Assistant <br />RE: Sylvan Street Cul -De -Sac <br />MAYOR <br />Raymond G. Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Bill Blesener <br />Rick Collova <br />Jim LaValle <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Property owners adjacent to the Sylvan Street cul -de -sac have <br />expressed an interest in the vacation of the Sylvan Street <br />right -of -way lying between the end of the cul -de -sac and Demont <br />Avenue. These property owners have expressed concern that this area <br />has become a dumping ground, and, if vacated, would become part of <br />their yards and would be maintained. <br />The Public Works Superintendent has reviewed this request. There is <br />sanitary and storm sewer as well as watermain within the road <br />right -of -way. These utilities are not isolated to any one portion of <br />the right -of -way, but spread throughout. Therefore, the City would <br />have to retain a utility easement the entire width that currently <br />exists for road right -of -way should the City choose to vacate that <br />right -of -way. <br />At its meeting last night, the Park Commission looked at this area to <br />determine whether or not a walkway easement should be retained if the <br />road right -of -way is vacated. Although the grade of the area is <br />steep, the Park Commission felt that to protect future City <br />interests, a walkway easement should be retained. The Park Commission <br />asked that they be given an opportunity to look at the area to <br />determine the best location and width for a walkway easement. <br />Page 32 <br />
