Mr. Brand stated they don't want the property vacated until this money shows up as this is the <br />resident's insurance policy. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer stated the money was spent to buy a park for the residents. <br /> <br />Becky Dehn, 17513 Wolverine St. N.W., Ramsey - stated that the original plat shows the land as <br />dedicated park lots to the City. The error was that the township didn't get the deed. <br /> <br />Vice-Chairman Hendriksen agreed that a lot of events happened that should not have happened; <br />however Lot 9, Block 2, Windsorwood Addition was obtained to replace the parkland that was <br />inadvertently built upon. <br /> <br />Mr. Brand stated that the residents don't want the property vacated until they see some money for <br />park development. <br /> <br />Ms. Dehn stated that three years ago she talked to Wright Title and asked how they could give <br />insurance to a house when it is stated the property it is on is an outlot dedicated as a park and they <br />told her they didn't have a problem with it. She stated they want the land vacated to cover up their <br />mistakes. <br /> <br />Vice-Chairman Hendriksen stated that the City can't do anything now about what was done in the <br />past except to try to come up with the best alternative to rectify the errors. <br /> <br />Ms. Dehn stated that Wright Title wants the City to vacate its interest and she feels that the title <br />company should have to take some responsibility. <br /> <br />Vice-Chairman Hendriksen stated that several people have made mistakes and he doesn't feel that <br />the title company is the one that should be solely responsible; he feels it is incumbent upon <br />everyone involved to take care of this matter. <br /> <br />Ms. Dehn stated that the residents want compensation for errors made and if the property is <br />vacated, Wright title gets away "Scott free" for their part of the error. <br /> <br />Mr. Brand stated there should be some financial restitution to the parks being proposed. <br /> <br />Michelle Ash, 8713 - 175th Lane N.W., Ramsey - stated she would agree to the vacation, but the <br />market value at the time it was sold should go into the development of the park in Sorteberg <br />Addition. She felt the lot in Windsorwood Addition should be sold and the proceeds should be <br />used to develop the park in Sorteberg. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer asked the residents if they understood that Outlot B may never have been <br />developed as a park anyway, as there are a lot of parklands the City cannot afford to equip. <br /> <br />Mr. Brand stated they realize that. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Bawden to adjourn the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
