Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330-0490 RE: RICHARD BURY ADMINISTRATIVE SUBDIVISION Dear Council Members: Richard Bury is ,:;Jroposing an administrative subdivision of his approximately 40-acre parcel of land located along 221st Avenl.le at the intersection of the City trail easement. Mr. Bury is proposing to subdivide the pn;)perty into three parcels. One parcel is west of the City trail, the second parcel is east of the trail but north of 22151 Avenue. ar:j the final parcel is south of 22181 Avenue. This administrative subdivision was presented to ta City Council at a meeting in December. At that meeting the land owner to the west of the Bury property ed a concerr. regarding whether or not there was access from Quinn Street to Parcel A. The landowner felt at he owned a 7.foot wide strip of land that would preclude Mr. Bury from accessing Parcel A from Quinn Street. The City ':ouncil deferred any action on the Bury Administrative Subdivision and directed staff to review the information the landowner to the west could provide relative to the survey of his property. That sutvey was submitted and reviewed together with the survey of the Bury property. It is our opinion that there is no strip of land precluding access to the Bury property from Quinn Street. Both surveys show the property line in questions to b~; the same section line. If the landowner from the west feels he still has some right to prc,perty in this area, he certainly has other remedies through the court system. The one other is:.ue we noted in reviewing this revised drawing is the trail easement is shown to narrow. There was some discrepancy in the previous drawing over the location of the trail. As that was cleared up, the trail was shown ~l::: 100 feet in width, centered on the old railroad track alignment. In actuality. the easement is 200 feet wide antJ should be 100 feet each side of the old centerline of the railroad tracks. We have discussed this issue with Mr. Bury and he has indicated that he will have his surveyor revise the drawing and have it aVedlable at or before Tuesday evening's meeting. We would suggest if that drawing is not available Tuesday evening. this matter should be tabled until the actual correct drawing is available. If YoJu have any questions regarding this administrative subdivision, please contact me. Sincerely, HOWARD R. GREEN COMPANY ~~~ . .i.Il~;e;,-p .E. Terryljan. 13th 1326 t'1ergy Park Drive. 51. Paul.
