Subdivision 1 of the statute reads: <br /> <br />"Land that is needed for future street purposes and as sites for other necessary <br />pubHc facilities and services is freqently diverted to non-public uses which could <br />have becn located on other lands without hardship or inconvenience to the <br />owners. When this happens, public uses of land may be denied or may be <br />obtained later only at prohibitive cost or at the expense of dislocating the owner$ <br />and occupants of the land. Identification on an official map of land needed for <br />future puhlic uses permits bOlh the public and private property owners tQ adjust <br />their building plans equitably .and conveniently before investments are I'nalle <br />which will make such adjustmcI1ts difficult to accomplish. " <br /> <br />Officially mapping the proposed Twin Lakes Parkway r1ght-of~way will give current property <br />owners notice of the City's intended use of the property so that tho~e current property owners <br />can properly plan private development and expansion_ The official mapping process also <br /> <br />-Also Admfflcd in W;~consin <br />tCivil Tri"J Specialist.
