As I indicated to you on the phone, some adjoining land owners south of Mound Trail have had title problems because of their lack of direct access to Mound Trail. Originally, I spoke to John Fitzgerald. the attorney representing some of the land owners, and told him we would try to donate the property to the adjoining land owners. However, there may be title problems in doing this. Therefore, the preferred method of granting those land owners access would be to donate the park property to the City of Centerville for use as part of Mound Trail. The Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission is in agreement with releasing the restrictive covenant on this park property so that it can be donated. Also enclosed is a list of the affected land owners along with a copy of the highway easement given to the City of Centerville by Anoka County in 1978 to create Mound Trail. I am asking you to verify whether the City of Centerville will be willing to accept this park property from Anoka Counly to expand Mound Trail between its existing southerly border and the northerly border of the adjoining land owners.
