Dargis and Paula J. Dargis <br />James Burgoyne <br />City of Elk River <br />Vacation of York Avenue, formerly known as Oak Street, between Blocks 2 and 3, Map <br />of Orono (Sherburne County, Minnesota) <br />This letter is in response to the staff report provided by Chris Leeseberg, the Elk River Senior <br />Planner, pertaining to the public hearing for the meeting on January 19, 2016, regarding the request <br />to vacate a portion of York Avenue located north of Main Street NW. <br />Some of the factual information is incorrect: <br />1.
