City Council passed a resolution allowing staff to go forward with the details and complete the process. We are having great difficulty completely our request as the final document put forth by the city has two items we do not agree to. The last communication regarding these agreements was sent to Bruce Westby by Tom Kurak on 4/4/22 with no response. As this request has been going on since last year, we are asking the City Council to review the process so far and weigh in on the details of the easement agreement provided to us by staff. (See attached) We want to be heard by the Council at their next meeting date of 4/26/22 either during work session, or preferably during an official council meeting, so Council can give direction to staff regarding the discrepancies we feel are in the attached agreement between the City of Ramsey and the Kuraks. Thank you, Tom and Patti Kurak 15001 Sunfish Lake Blvd NW Ramsey, MN 55303 > Original Message > From: Bruce Westby <bwestby@ci.ramsey.mn.us> > To: "'twcorp@comcast.net"' <twcorp@comcast.net> > Date: 04/04/2022 3:05 PM > Subject: RE: Cartway easement update > Good afternoon, Tom. > Attached are final drafts of the two cartway easement agreements, which were reviewed by the City Attorney and approved as to form. Please review the agreements and provide comments at your earliest convenience. > Please note the Shawn Acres Park easement agreement (17421 Chameleon St) is between you and the City and requires compensation from you in the amount of $5,500 for reasons noted in the agreement. Regarding your assertion that as a person you won't have any more right to use the easement than anyone else and that park land used for a cartway involves no change of control or ownership, one could reasonably counter that when public property is used for a cartway the petitioner has more rights than the general public to prevent the City, and others, from using the park property within the cartway easement for various purposes at various times. > Also, please note that the 7705 1 73rd Ave easement agreement is between you and the private property owner.
