\ <br />J <br /><0 <br />Ralph B. and Ruth E. Knox <br />1029 Loma Linda Avenue <br />Mound, MN 55364 <br />November 8, 1991 <br />City of Orono <br />Planning Commission <br />1275 South Brown Road <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br />REFERENCE: Consideration of Application #1703, vacation <br />petition of unimproved public right-of-way known as Clara <br />Avenue, Loma Linda, Hennepin County, Minnesota. <br />Planning Commission Members: <br />As the owners of the adjoining property west of the subject <br />right-of-way from which a 10 foot strip was donated for the <br />purpose of developing Clara Avenue, my wife Ruth and I are <br />anxious to have this property returned to the parcel from <br />which it came. <br />Informal inguiries from time to time at the Village Office <br />led us to believe that a vacation petition would be more <br />favorably viewed if all property owners, both east and west <br />of the right-of-way, worked together to each reclaim ten <br />feet running along their property line. Ruth and I proposed <br />to our neighbors on the east that we thus present a "solid” <br />front and also share the cost. However, our neighbors at <br />that time favored to take no formal action. <br />The land we wish to reclaim, through this or other <br />proceedings, is that which was separated from our property <br />to begin with. The previous owner who gave up the 10 foot <br />strip to the County now lives in the neighborhood. Please <br />reference the attached notarized letter from Myrtice Warnes <br />who recalls the event. <br />Not being familiar with vacation proceedings, and what <br />precedence has been established in such matters, we would <br />like to know if it is customary for the land to be returned <br />as in a situation like ours. Please contact us if you <br />require any additional information, or if there is anything <br />else we need to do before the meeting in order to reclaim <br />this land. <br />Respectfully, <br />Ralph B. Knox <br />N <br />/ <br />\ <br />I
