Re: 2385 Shadywood Road and 3360 Shoreline Drive, Orono, MN
Hello Jim:
Nice speaking with you again yesterday. As we talked about over the
phone, in regards to the parcel of land that is situated between the addresses
noted above, the City of Orono is not aware of any Quitclaim Deed for such
property that would not otherwise be of record with Hennepin County.
If you obtain any additional information from your title examiner, et
al., on this matter indicating ownership of such property by the City, please
feel free to contact me to discuss further.
Best Regards,
Campbell Knutson

Re: 2385 Shadywood Road and 3360 Shoreline Drive
To Whon� It May Concern:
I represent the owners of the Navarre Citgo as it relates to a portion of the land
between the properties found at the above addresses. This land has previously been
identified as "�;�zrcel#5" on the plat map dated Apri14, 1983, a copy of which is attached.
On A�ril 14, ?.a83, the City of Orono attempted to solicit a Quit Claim Deed from
Union Oil which apparently owned the property at the time where the Citgo station is now
located; a copy o� that letter is enclosed. We do not believe that a Quit Claim Deed was
ever is;ued for paxcel #5 by Union Oil. If the City of Orono did obtain the Quit Claim
Deed from Unio:� Oil or any adjacent properties, please forward a copy to me as soon as
po;sible. If C;�uit Claim Deeds were never secured, please send me a letter confirming
r;•�r fact.
Please call me should you have any questions or wish to visit with me about my
requests. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
LES W. LORD & ASSOCIATES

Dear Mr . Kearns:
As you are aware the City of Orono has for some time now been working
with the abutting landowners north of your property (Richard Raiche,
etal) to clear up tax parcel and title problems between them and the
' City. We also discovered a "gap" in the legal descriptions between
your property and theirs which needed your review.
The Raiche property is now owned by Stephen and Suzanne Schmidt. Mr. -
Raiche, the Schmidts and the City are now completing an agreement to
resolve our differences. At the time we do that, we would also like
to clear up two related questions which� will need your assistance.
Please refer to the attached colored map, specifically those areas
marked as parcels #4 and #5 .
Parcel #4 is a "gap°' between the Union Oil property and the Rudh-Ulrick..�
property to the west. There is a recorded driveway easement to the City
over the east 7� ft. of the Rudh-Ulrick property, an+d over the west 7� ft.
of the Union Oil property (see your attached title insurance description,
schedule B item� #7 as sent to me on 9-15-81) . We would ask �hat you
� agree to quit claim deed this gap area to the City so as to ensure good
title to the City for the entire public driveway. The City is also
receiving identical quit claim deeds for this same area from both Rudh-
Ulrick and Raiche-Schmidt.
Parcel #5 is the "gap" between the Union Oil and Raiche-Schmidt property.
This area has been and is still included in the tax parcel description of
� . ..... .._.. ... �.... � . n��n� i��.innVC A91.�1C0
.._..�___.._._ _�__. .....______..__. . . . .
s� , ....
�, , � .t • '
the Raiche-Schmidt �roperty. As per your 9-20-82 letter to Mr. Raiche
(attached) , ,you have agreed that this area is not claimed by Union 0i1.
Therefore we ask that you agree to quit claim deed this gap area to
Schmidt.
We have enclosed two quit c�.aim deeds for the above parcels �4 and #5
which we ask that you execute and return to my office for recording at
your earliest convenience.
I thank you in advance for your assistance in correcting these problems.
Sincerely,
