Round Lake Road <br />Arden Hills MN 55112 <br /> <br />RE: Josephine Ease LLC <br />PF&B File No. 10460.990001 <br />Planning Case # 99-03 <br /> <br />Dear Nancy: <br /> <br />I am enclosing a copy of my correspondence of January 29, 1999 which broadly addresses <br />some of the issues raised in your April 15, 1999 Memo. In addition, I would respond jn the <br />. following manner: <br /> <br />1. Ownership of Shoreline Drive adiacent to Rushenbere: and Wessland propertv. <br /> <br />A. Prescriptive Easement. It is my understanding that this road segment <br />was constructed and has been maintained by the City for a long period <br />of time. Consequently the City may have acquired a prescriptive <br />easement through use and maintenance similar to the manner in which <br />a person might acquire adverse possession of a piece of land. <br />Unfortunately it would be necessary for the City to commence an action <br />to quiet title in order to document the prescriptive easement rights of the <br />City. The adjacent property owners would be parties to the lawsuit. Due <br />to congested court calendars, it could take 6 months to one year to <br />complete the litigation and the estimated cost would be $3,000.00 to <br />$5,000.00. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />Purchase/Gift. The abutting property owners may be willing to convey <br />the right-of-way to the City by deed or permanent easement. They <br />apparently have benefitted from the City's improvement and maintenance <br />over the years. If this type of acquisition is possible, it would avoid the <br />necessity for an action to quiet title and presumably would be far less <br />expensive. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />-^LSn ^nMrrmll IN Wr~ONSJN <br />
