CITY of ORONO <br /> Pbst Office Box 666 C[ySfal Bay,Mionesoffi <br /> 592344 <br /> l�qx ,0.g,`Y <br /> S <br /> March 30, 1994 <br /> Mrs. Dawn Hammarberg <br /> 4081 Oak Street <br /> Long Lake, Minnesota 55356 <br /> Re: Vacation of Alley <br /> Dear Mrs. Hammarberg: <br /> I would offer the following comments regarding your inquiry as to potential vacation of the alley <br /> in which your driveway is located: <br /> 1. There are no City utilities within that alley. However, other utility providers may <br /> have lines there for which we have no records. These might include gas, <br /> telephone, electric, and cable TV. Those providers would be notified of any <br /> proposed vacation application. <br /> 2. The Hennepin County Property Description Office has confirmed that if the alley <br /> is vacated, it automatically reverts back to ownership of the adjacent properties. <br /> Therefore, in order for you to gain control of the entire alley, you would have <br /> to convince your neighbors to deed to you their respective portions. This would <br /> be entirely up to you to accomplish, and would technically require a subdivision <br /> approval by the City to separate that land from the neighboring properties. <br /> 3. Given the above "roadblocks" to accomplishing your purpose, proceeding with <br /> a vacation application may be a waste of your time. However, I am sending <br /> along the appropriate application should you wish to proceed. ' <br /> 4. It is very likely that Public Works Director John Gerhardson would grant you <br /> permission to pave your driveway within the alley absent the vacation process. <br /> TELEPHONE-473-7357•FAX-473-0510 <br />
