City of Ramsey <br /> <br />15~153NOWTHEN BOULEVARDN.W.,RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · (612) 427-1410 <br /> <br />November 20, 1991 <br /> <br />Dennis Peck <br />North Fork, Inc, <br />713 Bradford:Avenue N.W. <br />Champlin, MN 55316 <br /> <br />RE: Request for Road Right-of-Way Easement Vacations in Northfork <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Peck: <br /> <br />I have been asked to comment on two proposed right-of-way easements which the <br />City apparently has obtained during the course of the Northfork platting <br />developments. <br /> <br />First, an easement is shown extending from the Southern terminus of Andrie Street <br />at its intersection with 153rd Avenue and proceeding across the Burlington <br />Northern Railroad tracks and intersecting with Highway #10. The development of <br />a roadway over this particular alignment is objectionable for the following reasons: <br /> <br />A) It reqt!ires an additional crossing of the Burlington Northern Railroad <br /> track approximately 800 feet south of the existing crossing <br /> <br />B) This alignment would require an additional intersection on Highway <br /> #10 <br /> <br />C) The alig. nment would require the roadway to be placed through the <br /> first an,d ninth fairways of the Northfork Links Golf Course. <br /> <br />Based upon the above, it is my opinion that the easement for this future roadway is <br />no longer required, and I therefore recommend it be vacated. <br /> <br />The second easement requested for vacation consists of roughly a one quarter mile <br />easement beginning at the Western terminus of' 164th Avenue within the <br />Woodlawn Estates Addition and terminating on the west section line of Section 17. <br />This segment~of roadway is identified in the preliminary plat of the Northfork <br />subdivision. Under normal platting procedures, this roadway would be dedicated at <br />the time this portion of the Northfork development is final platted. It is unclear to <br />me why the City has received the easement for this piece of roadway. Nonetheless, <br /> <br /> <br />
