MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />To: David Hartley, Ramsey City <br /> Administrator <br /> <br />From: William K. Goodrich, City <br /> Attorney <br /> <br />May 4, 1987 <br /> <br />Re: Hall-Anderson Acres Service Road <br /> <br /> As 1 understand it, the above referenced service road has been <br />basically unimproved since the Hall-Anderson plat was accepted. One <br />or more lot owners now desire to sell the lots and perhaps construct <br />a residence on the same and are requesting that the service road be <br />improved in order for a residence to be constructed. <br /> <br /> The question then presented is to what extent, if any, the City <br />has the obligation to improve the service road so that residential <br />use of the adjacent property may be had. <br /> <br /> The service road is shown as a platted right of way on the plat <br />of Hall-Anderson Acres and I have reviewed the dedication sheet of the <br />plat and the said service road has been properly dedicated to the <br />public and is, therefore, a road which the City of Ramsey has accepted. <br />It is therefore my opinion that the City because of its ownership of <br />this ~rvice road does have an obJigation to maintain it and allow it <br />to be used as a safe access to any residential structure constructed <br />on the adjacent lots. That does not, however, mean that the City <br />has to bring the street to any particular standard at this tTme and, <br />of course, any improvements which the City may wish to make in regard <br />to the road can be assessed to the benefit of the property owners. <br /> <br />WKG:mv <br /> <br /> <br />
