VACATION OF EASEMENT - BERWYN ADDITION
Administrator Achen reported that the plat had been approved some time ago but that
the owner has had some problems closing on the property because of ambiguous easements.
Administrator Achen explained that due to the description, it was possible to locate
the easement area either fronting lots 1 and 2 of the Berwyn Addition or along the
east boundary of the Edgewood School property. He added that because of the descrip-
tion and to whom the easement is deeded from and to, it would appear that the easement
is along lots 1 and 2. The described easement to be vacated is located entirely within
the Edgewood Drive roadway easement. Administrator Achen stated that the City does
have documented easements for Edgewood Drive and the removal of this easement would not
violate any of the existing easements.
Mayor Pickar stated that the memo from the Building and Zoning Official goes into
detail about how the situation occurred.
Attorney Meyers pointed out that the easement has no practical use.
