City of Ramsey <br /> <br />1,~153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · (612) 427-1410 <br /> <br />November 25; 1991 <br /> <br />Mr. Richard Sybrant <br />9421 West River Road <br />Minneapolis, MN 55444 <br /> <br />RE: Request to vacate drainage easement on Lot 2, Block 3, The North Fort), 3rd Addition <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Sybrant: <br /> <br />The portion of the drainage easement to be vacated represents approximate 5()~ of a drainage <br />easement, set 'aside to service Block 3 of the above development. The remaining 50% of the <br />easement encompasses the northeast quarter of adjacent Lot 3. h is significant to note that this <br />drainage easement accommodates run-off from no public right-of-way. However, it would appear <br />to accept drainage from a strip of land immediately north of the lots which will be developed in the <br />future as a trail. The area contributing run-off to this drainage easement is relatively small and I <br />believe it is lcl;s than the 12.8 acres identified on the drainage plan submitted. <br /> <br />The fact that this drainage easement does not serve paved City right-of-way is significant. <br />Nonetheless, its existence does serve to protect houses constructed on Lots 2 and 3 from potential <br />flooding under unusual precipitation events. It is therefore my recommendation that the eastern <br />most 80 feet of this easement be allowed to be vacated. This will be sufficient to accommodate <br />location of the dwelling as desired. In addition, the remaining portion of the easement should be <br />graded as proposed on the grading and drainage plan. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />CITY or RAM~SE/Y <br /> <br />Steven .f.
