RANDALL AND DEHN February 20, 1981 To: Re: City of Ramsey Pondvale Estates This is to certify that I have examined the title to: (See attached.) by an examination of the abstract of title containing 153 entries and last certified by abstracters to November 3, 1980, at 7:00 o'clock A. M., together with an examination of the tax and judgment certificates thereto attached, and by an examination of the tract index of St. Paul Title Insurance Corporation, the judgment records of the Anoka County District and County Court and the tax records of the Anoka County Auditor's office on the 19th day of February, 1981. From such examination I am of the opinion that the fee simple title to said premises is in Harold A. Christensen. Such title is, however, subject to the following exceptions, limitations, and encumbrances: 1. Subject to the reservation to The Federal Land Bank of St. Paul, a corporation, of 50% of all right and title in and to any and all oil, gas and other minerals in or under the foregoing described land with such easement for ingress, egress and use of surface as may be necessary or incidental to use of such rights. 2. This examiner is aware that there is an apparent unrecorded contract for deed conveying the subject property from the above named individual to a partnership by the name of Leisure Wood Ponds Develop- ment Company, a partnership under the laws of the State of Minnesota. The interest of said partnership should be indicated on the dedication page of the proposed plat. 3. At entry No. 139 of the abstract a quit claim deed is shown dated September 21, 1973, and filed for record October 9, 1973, as Document No. 398705. Said deed purports to convey all of the S½ of the SE¼ of Section 23, Township 32, Range 25, with a small exception,to William W. Aydt and Shirley A. Aydt, husband and wife. This deed places a cloud on the title of the subject property and, therefore, in order for title to be good and marketable a quit claim deed should be obtained from the above described Aydts to Harold A. Christensen.
