December 16, 2021 <br />Case EV21-07 <br />Chris Leeseberg <br />In regards to this case; My wife and I received the lot at 13651.and built that home. in 1973 at that <br />time the area was known as Waite Addition. This property was not included in the City of Elk River. We <br />were still township at that time. My Fatherindaw(Chester Waite) at that time planning ahead realized <br />that someday his property would be sold off as lots. With that in mind he designated access between <br />our lot and the Property at 18560 Naples. <br />When Don Rahn wanted to build at 1366S 185" Ave, he needed one acre and 150 feet of frontage to <br />build. In order to getthe property without encroaching too far onto the Home place at 13679185" the <br />property was given the L shape This kept the property narrower but to make up for the needed frontage <br />the easement area was included into that acre realizing when city sewer and water go in the acreage <br />and frontage rules would change. So the easement property was included with the Rahn property, and <br />we all knew the easement was still there. My wife and I eventually built the home at 13701 185"' and - <br />was under the impression the easement came all the way to that property. Jerry Waite eventually <br />bought the house at 13679185' and was aiso under the impression the easement came all the way to <br />13702, to access two future lots to the rear of that house and also to lots on his property. <br />When Brute and Cathy Rahn bought the house (13665185`" Ave), a few weeks ago they were aware of <br />the easement on the property We believe to vacate this easement would devaluate all this property <br />involved and make it all land locked voiding any future development. <br />Thank you <br />Jim Swanson n//d <br />
