MEMORANDUM
Date: June 17, 1970
To: Mr. Ronald Herrick
From: Lorraine Stromquist
Subject: Village Park Property
County Road E and Snelling
Ron :
Ev Beecher mentioned some time ago that you wondered whether
or not the Village owned the triangular piece of property
south of County Road E across from Lindey 's .
At one time the state had both this piece of land and Old Highway
10 and Snelling Avenue from E to the south end of Arden Hills .
The road was turned over from the state to the Village in 1965 .
The Village then turned that particular road over to Ramsay County.
We retained the ownership of the triangular piece of property,
according to a letter from the State Highway Department dated
February 25, 1966 .
The Village was very anxious to keep ownership of the parcel of
land .
The Maintenance of it has been taken care of by Arden Hills since
that date.
