R-80-16 RESOLUTION CITY OF LAKE ELMO WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA A RESOLUTION VACATING A PUBLIC STREET - A PORTION OF RIDGEWAY DRIVE - IN TABLYN PARK WHEREAS, at a .regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, Washington County, Minnesota, held July 5, 1978, a Petition was presented to the City Council praying for the vacation of that certain public street in the plat of Tablyn Park described as follows: Ridgeway Drive, as described and dedicated in the plat of Tablyn Park which plat is on file and of record in the office of the County Recorder in and for Washington County, Minnesota. WHEREAS, said Petition came on for hearing before said City Council at a regular meeting thereof held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 1.5, 1978, in the City Hall pursuant to notice thereof published and posted as required by law; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo has conducted several additional meetings and discussions relating to said vacation with the owners of the abutting property and has heard all the evidence presented for and against said Petition and after due consideration thereof has determined it is in the best interests of the public of the City of Lake Elmo to vacate a portion of said street for the following reasons: 1. The said street is unimproved and has never been used for any public purpose. 2. It appears that as a result of the approval of the plat of Tablyn Park Second Addition immediately adjacent to said Ridgeway Drive that: no public purpose would be served by improving or opening said street. In fact, the said street would be inconsistent with the newly approved plat. 3. The said Ridgeway Drive is small and located so close to residential developments that it could not reasonably be used for any public purpose without a high probability of a nuisance resulting. 4. The City would benefit by having said property returned to private use and maintained as part of•the adjacent private holdings.
