The alley is currently owned and maintained by the Arbor's <br />Homeowners Association. <br />The petition does not meet the guidelines for petitioned improvements as outlined in Minnesota State Statue <br />Chapter 429. The 429 'process states "an improvement must be petitioned for by the owners on not less than <br />35 percent in frontage real property abutting the street named in the petition". The Council may however <br />adopt a resolution accepting the requests listed in the petition and order the preparation of a Feasibility <br />Report by vote of four-fifths of all members of the Council. This will begin the 429 process. <br />A resolution ordering the transfer of ownership and perpetration of the Feasibility Report to improve the <br />alley has been attached. <br />I will be present at your November 25 Council meeting to answer any questions you may have on this issue, <br />or please call me at 763-287-7182. <br />Sincerely, <br />WSB & Associates, Inc. <br />Todd E.
