the public hearing on vacation of public easements in proposed White Oak Estates
Third Addition.
Ron Murphy, surveyor for Comstock and Davis, explained that four street easements
in the White Oak Estates Third Addition, at 84th Avenue N.E. and Pleasant View
Drive, are unnecessary, as they were taken some time ago when a different street
alignment was anticipated. Further, the easement for the existing street was
recorded with a slight error (called for a 90° angle and the underlying description
called for 89 °,40 min.20 sec) and this needs to be corrected prior to filing the
final plat. Mr. Murphy discussed it with the surveyor for Ramsey County and he
suggested vacating the easements and then the city will get it back in the plat.
Rodney Erickson, 8418 Spring Lake Rd., stated that his property abuts the proposed plat.
MSP (Hodges - Shelquist) to approve Resolution #721, as presented, vacating certain
easements on 84th Avenue N.E. and Pleasant View Drive.
MSP (Johnson - Hodges) to amend the main motion, approving the resolution by adding
that this is subject to the city receiving in final recordable form, with all of
its required documents, the new easements which are to be granted, by the affected
property owners. 5 ayes
The vote was taken on the main motion as amended.
Ad. Achen stated that it is appropriate to indicate to the property owners that the
costs of this work will be requested to be paid by them.
Robert Carlson stated that he was in agreement with that.

MSP ( Shelquist- Baumgartner) to adjourn the special hearing. 5 ayes
The regular Council meeting was reconvened at 8:50 pm.
Resolution supporting application for funds to construct bandshell at Lakeside Park.
Councilman Pickar gave the background for the above, stating that it would be
bicentennial funds being spent for the bandshell, and that the Bicentennial Commission
of Spring Lake Park had picked the above as a special project. He felt it would be
a good addition to the park. The resolution is looking for moral support from the
Council.
Mayor Johnson objected to the distinct comments about this park being Spring Lake Park's
"central park" and asked if the Lakeside Park Commission would become liable for
any costs incurred?
Councilman Pickar replied that Lakeside Park would have no expenses whatsoever, except
possibly for electricity.
Mayor Johnson asked who was liable for architectural fees if funding does not ccxne
through? Councilman Pickar replied that nothing has been signed and we have no obligation
for money.
Councilman Shelquist mentioned that it might be to our advantage not to have Mounds View
mentioned too directly because of our application to HUD for a block grant and Ad. Achen
explained that this was not the same thing -- this is not a block grant application.
