County Road F <br /> <br />REPORT OF VILLAGE ATTORNEY JAMES LYNDEN <br /> <br />Ordinance No. 237, Shoreland Mana~ement <br />Council was referred to draft of Shoreland Management Ordinance and to minor <br />changes recommended by the DNR and Planner Miller. <br /> <br />Hicks moved, seconded by Peck, that Council waive the reading of Ordinance No. <br />237.

Lynden noted that Ramsey County has apparently allowed the City to <br />.... use the parcel for open space purposes. (Hansen arrived at meeting.) <br /> <br />Lynden reported that the underlying fee owner wants the easement vacated and <br />wants to know if the City would be willing to buy it. Lynden noted that the <br />present use by the City is claimed to exceed the ambit of the original ease- <br />ment purposes when taken in the 1940's. <br /> <br />Council discussed possible usage of the approximate 1/2 acre~ parcel, which <br />now belongs to Ramsey County. It was suggested that it is still essential for <br />highway purposes and should be retained by the County to provide appropriate <br />sight-line for traffic. It was queried whether the parcel is needed by the <br />Parks Department. The alternative would be the development of possibly two <br />building lots for single-family homes by the fee holder (Kenna). <br />
