November 23, 2005 <br />Bill Houlton <br />Elk River MN 55330 <br />RE: REQUEST FOR VACATION OF PORTION OF VERNON STREET <br />RIGHT OF WAY <br />Dear Mr. Houlton: <br />Your request for vacation of a portion of the Vernon Street right-of-way south of Main <br />Street was denied by the City Council at their November 21, 2005 meeting. The Council's <br />decision was based on the following recommendation by City Engineer Terry Maurer. <br />"Since there is the potential that someday the Houlton Farm could be subdivided, I <br />see no public purpose for vacating the Vernon Street right-of-way as requested. I <br />assume that the private driveway accessing the Houlton Farm can continue to utilize <br />portions of the Vernon Street right-of-way as long as necessary into the future. If in <br />fact there is ever a reason to subdivide any of the property, there will be a need to <br />construct a public road to provide access to the subdivided parcels. Therefore, there <br />could be a time in the future where the Vernon Street right-of-way is necessary." <br />If you have any questions regarding this item, please contact Senior Planner Scott Harlicker <br />at 763/635-1034 or City Engineer Terry Maurer at 763/635-1051. <br />Sincerely, <br />Deborah Huebner <br />Administrative Planning Assistant <br />N:\Dopa nts\Community De d.pment\Planning\Case Files\Ws\WS 15-01 L ke Access Point,\Denial It, Honiton.dm <br />
