<br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />January 10, 2006 <br /> <br />Scott Harlicker, Senior Planner <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: YORK STREET VACATION REQUEST <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Harlicker: <br /> <br />I have reviewed the York Street vacation request submitted by Ronald and Paula Dargis. <br />The request is to vacate York Street from Main Street to Lake Orono. There is a publicly <br />dedicated right-of-way in this area from one of the old plats of the original City. Although <br />this is a platted right-of-way, it has been approximately 20 years that it has not actually been <br />a drivable road to the lake. The old street surface was removed and lawn was established <br />next to Mr. and Mrs. Dargis' home. I have checked with Fire Chief Bruce West and there is <br />no Fire Department need to ever utilize this public right-of-way to get to Lake Orono. I <br />would guess that most people would think that there is no public right-of-way, since it has <br />been established as a lawn for so many years. Given this, I see no reason not to vacate the <br />public right-of-way and establish it as private property for which it has been used for many <br />years. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this issue, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />kr%~ <br /> <br />Terry J. Maurer, PE <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br />. lk .
