^ O o • J <br />r---5s> .-^v <br />Femdale Road). In no way is Conley Brooks, Jr. trying to qect the Floyd propertyfrom its lake <br />access at the 20 foot parcel. <br />There is a second land title re^stration case (a torrens case) pending in Hennepin County <br />District Court as file No. A-29864 concerning the old Bagley property at 905 West Femdale <br />Road. The auditors subdivision lot description of the Bagley property left it ambiguous as to who <br />owned the land south of the center line of Femdale Road. Conley Brooks Jr. claims to own all <br />the land in file number A-29864 through the Bagley chain of title. <br />The purpose of this Orono application is to complete the Conley Brooks, Jr. property at <br />980 West Femdale Road by including with it Parcel B (if Charles Floyd ultimately agrees with the <br />exchange proposal described below). Parcel D, and Parcel C, as shown in Orono Application No. <br />2269 and as reiterated in this application. <br />The reasons for the lot line rearrangement are: <br />1. To create a more logical and usable boundary perimeter for 980 West Femdale <br />Road. When combined, all of the parcels in question form a reasonable contiguous <br />area. <br />2. To secure for 980 West Femdale Road its lake view and lake access. <br />3. To clear up long-standing confusion over who actually owns Parcels B and D. <br />Parcel C, the peninsula opposite 980 West Femdale Road, is an important element of the <br />whole. The views of Lake Minnetonka from 980 West Femdale Road (and from the former <br />Skarp property in particular), are directly across Parcel C. It is important that Parcel C be <br />maintained in such a way as to preserve the view; ownership by 980 West Femdale of Parcel C <br />ensures that maintenance will be conducted in a satisfactory manner. Conley Brooks, Jr. proposes <br />to grant to 905 West Femdale a scenic easement over Parcel C, whereby no docks or other <br />structures could be erected on the peninsula. <br />An additional reason for combining Parcel C with 980 West Femdale is the fact that it <br />provides 980 West Femdale with a good site for swimming and enjoying the lake. The shoreline <br />and lake bottom of the former Skarp property and Parcels B and D consists mainly of weeds and <br />muck, whereas Parcel C has a relatively clear sand and gravel bottom.
