R-75-4 RESOLUTION CITY OF LAKE ELMO WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA A RESOLUTION VACATING CERTAIN PUBLIC EASEMENTS IN LANE'S DEMONTREVILLE COUNTRY CLUB ADDITION (LANG--NETTLETON PETITION) WHEREAS, at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, Washington County, Minnesota, held November 19, 1974, a petition was presented to the City Council praying for the vacation of certain public easements in the plat of Lane's DeMontreville Country Club Addition described as follows: All that part or parcel of land sometimes known as "DeMontreville Beach" as dedicated to the public in the Plat of Lane's DeMontre- ville Country Club Addition lying between Lots 465 through 468 and Lots 669 through 672 and the shoreline of Lake DeMontreville all as designated and platted in the said Plat of Lane's DeMontre- ville Country Club Addition. WHEREAS, said petition came on for hearing before said City Council at regular meetings thereof held at 7:30 o'clock P.M. in the City Hall on December 17, 1974, and January 7, 1975, pursuant to notice thereof published and posted as required by law; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo has heard all the evidence presented for and against said petition and after due consideration thereof has determined that it is in the best interests of the public and the City of Lake Elmo to vacate said easements for the following reasons: 1.

As a result, there does not appear to be any meaningful way in which the general public could use the above described lands. 2. The above described public lands are small and located so close to resi- dential development that they could not reasonably be used without a high probability of a nuisance resulting. Because of the location of the property it could not be policed by the City without great expense and inconvenience to the public. 3. If the petition for vacation were not granted the result would restrict the marketability of the adjacent lands owned by the petitioner and impair the ability of the petitioner's or their successors in interest to use said land for residential purposes. On the other hand, to grant this petition to vacate the above described lands would improve the useability of the petitioner's lands for residential purposes as provided by the Comprehensive Plan and ordinances of the City, all of which tends to serve the purposes for which the City has developed a comprehensive plan and enacted zoning and other ordinances regulating land use. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELMO, that the following described lands:
