Green Company <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />October 6, 2000 <br />File: 808540J-0240 <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Wensman <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />P.O. Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: WINDSOR PARK ADDITION <br />RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Wensman: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the legal description prepared by John Oliver & Associates <br />describing the entrance median for the Windsor Park development. As you are aware, the <br />Developer has requested that the median itself be vacated so that he can install an entrance <br />monument in the median. Entrance monuments are not allowed within public rights-of-way. <br />The Windsor Park Addition is a clustered development where the Homeowners Association will <br />be responsible for maintenance of the landscaping in this entrance median. We see no problem <br />with vacating the right-of-way contained within the median for purposes of installation of an <br />entrance monument. We have reviewed the site and believe a monument can be installed that <br />will not hinder any site distances entering or exiting the development. <br /> <br />We have reviewed the legal description prepared by John Oliver and Associates, and have <br />talked to Jim Klien regarding how it was written. Mr. Klien indicated that he had his survey crew <br />actually locate the curb and gutter surrounding the island. The description is written such that <br />the curb and gutter around the island falls within what will be retained as public right-of-way. <br />Everything behind the curb and gutter in the median area is included in the description proposed <br />to be vacated. <br /> <br />In conclusion, we believe the legal description is accurate and would recommend vacation of <br />this portion of the right-of-way. If you have any questions, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R. Green Company <br /> <br />~frllaruW <br /> <br />Terry J.
