R--77-2 RESOLUTION CITY OF LAKE ELMO WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA A RESOLUTION VACATING CERTAIN PUBLIC STREETS IN BERGMANN'S ADDITION (MOTTAZ PETITION) WHEREAS, at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, Washington County, Minnesota, held February 15, 1977, a petition was presented to the City Council praying for the vacation of certain public streets in the plat of Bergmann Addition described as follows: All those streets and parts of streets dedicated as part of the plat of BERGMANN ADDITION and described in said plat as follows: "Alice Lane", "Violet Lane", and that portion of "Lucille Lane" lying between the south boundary of Lot Six (6), Block Two (2) and the north boundaries of the West 78.4 feet of Lot Fourteen (14), Lot Thirteen (13) and the East 81.7 feet of Lot Twelve (12), Block One (1), of said BERGMANN ADDITION, WHEREAS, said petition came on for hearing before said City Council at a regular meeting thereof held at 5:00 o'clock p.m. on March 15, 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 the evidence presented for said petition, there being no objection thereto, and no evidence pre- sented against said vacation, 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 streets for the following reasons: 1. That the streets serve no purpose at this time and are not included as part of the overall transportation system outlined in the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. If the petition for vacation is granted it will preclude the potential use of these streets by the public which use would be inconsistent with the trans- portation plans of the City of Lake Elmo. Moreover, the vacation of said streets would return the property included within their right-of-way to the tax rolls and would enhance the value of the abutting property on the tax rolls all of which re- sults in a benefit to the public. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, that the following described streets: All those streets and partsof streets dedicated as part of the plat of BERGMANN ADDITION and described in said plat as follows: "Alice Lane", "Violet Lane", and that portion of "Lucille Lane" lying between the south boundary of Lot Six (6), Block Two (2) and the north boundaries of the West 78.4 feet of Lot Fourteen (14), Lot Thirteen (13) and the East 81.7 feet of Lot Twelve (12), Block One (1) of said BERGMANN ADDITION, be and the same hereby are vacated absolutely and forever for the reasons set forth above herein.
