Mitchell, Jr. Lindquist & Vennum P.L.L.P. 4200 IDS Center 80 South 8th Street Minneapolis, MN 55402-2205 Re: Lake Minnetonka Property Your Client: Carol and Conley Brooks, Jr., 980 West Femdale Road Our Client: Charles P. and Joan M. Floyd, 960 West Femdale Road Our File No. 1652.9701 Dear Mr. Mitchell: Thank you for your letter dated September 11, 1997. First, let me reassure you that my clients and I are not moving forward imder the false assumption that an assignment of a real estate tax identification number is a definitive way of indicating ownership of land. Also, we realize that no separate real estate tax identification number has been assigned to the 20 Ft. Parcel (the triangular property at the easternmost tip of Lot 12 of North Shore Cottage Acres). There has been no explanation from anyone why this was not done at the time of the sale, when the deed was recorded or at any time since. Second, my clients’ position regarding the 20 Ft. Parcel remains the same as it was last spring when we first discussed this matter with you and your clients. You incorrectly stated in your letter that the best case scenario for my clients is to ultimately retain ownership of only a one-half interest in the 20 Ft. Parcel. You are well aware of the fact that my clients intend and expect to receive an order from the Court or the Examiner of Titles of Hennepiri County stating that they are the exclusive owners of the 20 Ft. Parcel by way of adverse possession. As I am sure you are aware, my clients have maintained exclusive possession and use of the 20 Ft. Parcel for in excess of the statutory time period to claim adverse possession. Without restating issues and facts that you and your clients are already aware of, suffice it to say that my clients have always maintained their exclusive ownership, possession and interest in the 20 Ft. Parcel, against everyone, including the owners of 980 West Femdale Road. Please be advised, my clients have never surrendered or sacrificed their exclusive ownership, possession or interest in the 20 Ft. Parcel at any time since they have resided at 960 West Femdale Road. Moreover, previous owmers of 960 West Femdale Road also 'sserted their exclusive ownership rights over the 20 Ft. Parcel. .Amkricana Ba .'k Bi it.oiNi:. .5050 Franck .-\vknlk South . Suite 240.
