Item No: 8B Meeting Date: Oct 27, 2003 Type of Business: Consent Administrator Review : ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Jim Ericson, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Limited Use Agreement for a Driveway on City-Owned Parkland Background: At the City Council’s July 28, 2003 meeting, Ms. Judy Langner addressed the Council under Citizens Requests and Comments regarding her driveway, which is actually located on city- owned parkland adjacent to her lot at 2337 Knoll Drive. The driveway has existed in its present location for 50 years and she would like the area deeded to her to protect her right to use the land. The wedge of land used for the driveway is disconnected from the rest of Greenfield Park by a drainage ditch and serves no public function. Rather than deed the wedge of land to Ms. Langner, the Council directed staff to draft a Limited Use Agreement that would allow for the continued use of the land in its present state. Discussion: After the July 28 meeting, staff began to contact surveying firms to create a legal description for the wedge of land. Kurth Surveyors had the lowest estimate for the work and as such were asked to begin the project. On September 30, the project was completed and a certificate of survey was delivered to staff with the appropriate legal description to be inserted into the Limited Use Agreement. Recommendation: Please review the attached Limited Use Agreement to permit the continued use of the wedge of land for a driveway to serve the home at 2337 Knoll Drive. If there are no issues with the Agreement, staff would recommend adoption of the attached Resolution 6122, a resolution authorizing the execution and recording of the Agreement. Respectfully submitted, ________________________ Jim Ericson Community Development Director
