PAUL <br /> <br />WASECA <br /> <br />As you requested, we have reviewed the proposed administrative subdivision for Astrid <br />McBeath. The survey was prepared by John Oliver and Associates and had a revision <br />date of January 31, 1997. We would recommend that no action be taken on this request <br />at this time. We would recommend that it either be tabled indefinitely or, if action must <br />be taken because of time restrictions, that the administrative subdivision be denied. We <br />make this recommendation because it is apparent from the survey that the title to the <br />property is in question. If this administrative subdivision were to be granted, there <br />should be a number of easements provided along with the administrative subdivision. <br />These would include easements to connect 191st Avenue and Island View Drive in the <br />future, easements over the stream shown on the drawing, and easements around the <br />perimeter of the property. Because of the unclear title on the property, it is not readily <br />apparent that the appropriate easements could be granted with this subdivision. It is my <br />understanding that the property is currently going through Torrence procedures. We <br />would recommend that no consideration be given to this administrative subdivision until <br />the Torrence procedure is complete. At that point in time, the title should be clear and <br />the appropriate easements can be given along with approval of the administrative <br />subdivision. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />TJM:tw <br />330-1218.mar <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
