City subdivision regulations require easements at least twelve (12) feet wide centered on lot lines for utilities and shall be dedicated to the City. It should be noted that the City will not assume responsibility for maintenance of these areas. Rather, the easement would allow access if it is ever necessary to enter these areas. The plat should indicate these easements. In conjunction with the plat, the applicant should dedicate for public use those areas that currently extend into existing right-of-way and streets.

In addition, the applicant should dedicate the pedestrian trail at the west side ofthe property. It appears that the applicant will dedicate this pedestrian way, straighten out the trail, and will relocate the existing trail slightly to the west.

Such easements should be recorded with Ramsey County and a copy submitted to the City. 38. Utilities.
