Minutes of the Lake Elmo City Council Meeting, August 15, 1978 cont. Vacation Ridgeway Drive - Tablyn Park: Mr. Gary Carlson 8722 Ironwood Trail, Lake Elmo, Mr. James Kaufhold 8780 Ironwood Trail, Lake Elmo and Mr. Joe Chrulch 8690 Ironwood Trail, Lake Elmo, appeared before the Council with concerns of whether the easement would have to be maintained from the road pouth to the park, whether the easement might be for utilities, whether the easement would run thru Novak's property and whether, as a result of the easement,,the abstracts would have to be updated and who would pay the eypense of same. Council discussed the questions and. other matters concerning the easements. Counsel Raleigh said the plat is probably wrong, He said the platted street in Tablyn Park exists and if the City vacates a street and retains 10 foot easement, the 10 foot easement remains as the easement of the platted street and he does not think that would be changed unless there is a Court Order. The Council stressed that as far as the City is concerned, the total ease- ment is q0 feet. Mayor Armstrong stated that the easement would not be an infringement on the property rights, and would be enlarging the lots. Council instructed Administrator Whittaker to write Engineer Noyes inquiring whether the easement would be for utilities, that, considering the survey may be wrong, whether the easement would 10 feet f0cm lot line in Tablyn Park Second Addition and Tablyn Park First Addition; and should the easement be extended through Novak's property. Counsel Raleigh said that if the City decides to vacate the street, the City's easement should be a condition of the vacation He also suggested that htere has been a request to vacate a street, the City is considering that request, wants to consider 'what City will retain and that maybe a survey should be done, the cost of which should be borne by those who benefit from the vacation. Mayor Armstrong suggested that the neighbors meet to decide whether they want to have their property surveyed in order to determine the exact property Lines. The Council determined that before a decision is made on this issue, Engineer Noyes should make a recommendation to the Council upon his ascertaining the exact location of the easement. Council would like to get this matter on the agenda for the next regular meeting on September 5, 1978. Public Hearing closed at 8:00 p•m, Len Anderson - Eypired Building Permit: Pursuant to the Order of Judge Dablow who heard this case last Wednesday, Mr. Len Anderson appeared before the Council to re -apply for building permit. The Order stated the City could impose any testrictions9 that, in the eventob3r condition stated in the extension is not met or any violation of the permit issued, would result in the Court enjoin- ing the construction activity on the site. The City Building Inspector said that the cost of the extension in one-half the original fee, arid, that a permit lasts for one year, but, if there is no construction, lasts for 180 days.
