In conducting this analysis, we considered the following items. <br /> . A. CITY UTll..ITIF:S <br /> City records indicate that there is watermain along the east side of Snelling Avenue which <br /> would fall outside of an SO-foot right-of-way if the remainder were to be turned back. <br /> The sanitary sewer records indicate that in the same two locations on the east side and <br /> one long block on the west side, there is sanitary sewer that, once again, would fall <br /> outside of an SO-foot right-of-way. <br /> B. OTHER UTILlTIFS <br /> We have contacted NSP-Gas, NSP-Electric, U.S. West, and North Central Cable <br /> Television inquiring about the location of their utilities along Snelling Avenue. All of <br /> these companies have indicated their utilities are very close to the existing roadway. This <br /> would seem to indicate that if right-of-way beyond the SO-foot center would be turned <br /> back, their utilities would fall within this area. <br /> C. VACATION PROCESS <br /> We have briefly discussed the legal process to accomplish a vacation of road right-of-way <br /> with Attorney Filla. There certainly would be some City cost associated with going <br /> through a turnback process. This would include public notification, the holding or a <br /> . public hearing, describing of the actual right-of-way to be vacated, and ultimately filing <br /> those documents with the County. The question associated with incurring these costs is <br /> whether there is a return to the City. Perhaps there would be a return in the form of a <br /> 1959 SLOAN PLACE. SUITE 200. ST, PAUL.
