Ninth St. #3200 Minneapolis, MN 55402 •k •• ‘ Re:l.S.D. 278 City of Orono Dear Tom; I am working with the Orono School District to extinguish right of the City of Orono in an outlot created as a future access in the 1998 platting of the Orono School Expansion Plat. The property is located on the east side of Old Crystal Bay Road east of the existing Orono High School. ,<r, At the time of the plat, an agreement dated November 28,1.99^ was entered into pursuant to which certain understandings were set forth concerning Outlot A, the future access. An easement to the City across Outlot A was also executed. Enclosed is a copy of the 1998 agreement and the Outlot A easement. Also enclosed is a copy of the letter of Liz Van Zomeren of April 7, 1999 requesting that a title opinion be prepared. The purpose of this letter is to request that you accept an Owner’s and Encumbrances abstract showing l.S.D. 278 in title to all of the properties. Mike Gaffron has agreed to accept a combination of the several tax parcels as distinguished from a replatting of the property which would create a single lot from the five lots now involved. Because of the nature of the combination and because nothing is being granted to the City (in fact, the City will be relinquishing its rights in the outlot to the school district) the customary reasons for a title opinion do not exist. An Owner’s and Encumbrances abstract would save time and money for the school district. I expect that a quit claim deed by the City to the School District of the easement rights is the appropriate document. Minneapolis Denver Des Moines London Frankfurt 4 s j
