Paquin and Pearl M. Paquin, husband and wife, praying for the vacation of certain public easements in the plat of Eden Park described as follows: That part of Lots Six (6) and Seven (7), Block Two (2),EDEN PARK, according to the plat thereof on file and of record inthe office of the County Recorder, Washington County, Minnesota, described as follows: The southerly 6.0 feet of said Lot Six (6) lying easterly of the westerly 30.0 feet and, also, the northerly 6.0 feet of said Lot Seven (7) lying easterly of the westerly 30.0 feet, which easements are utility and drainage easements. WHEREAS, said petition came on for hearing before the City Council at a regular meeting thereof held at 8:00 o'clock p.m. in the City Hall on January 18, 1977, 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 of the evidence presented for said petition, there being no objection thereto or no evidence presented against it, and after due consideration thereof, has deter- mined that it is in the best interests of the public and the City of Lake Elmo to vacate said easement for the following reasons: 1. The lands sought to be vacated as above described are of no use to the City or the public, generally, because the Paquins' house has been located on the easement and it would be impossible to use the easement for its intended purpose. 2. It is in the public interest to have such drainage utility easements re- moved from the land records where they are of no actual value to the City and where, such as here, the recorded easements may be of substantial detriment to private property. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, that the following described lands: That part of Lots Six (6) and Seven (7), Block Two (2), EDEN PARK, according to the plat thereof on file and of record in the office of the County Recorder, Washington County, Minnesota, described as follows: The southerly 6.0 feet of said Lot Six (6) lying easterly ofthe westerly 30.0 feet and, also, the northerly 6.0 feet of said Lot Seven (7) lying easterly of the westerly 30.0 feet, be and the same hereby are vacated absolutely and forever for the reasons set forth above herein.
