A condition of that vacation was that the then owners, Scott C. and Debra McLain, grant to the City a Utilities and Access Easement(Doc. #4888323) over the northerly 15' of the vacated road, for future use by the City. This easement was granted by the McLain's with the full knowledge that the existing garage encroaches into the easement. They were advised that the City would accept this encroachment for the current garage structure, and that because the garage was in disrepair, if at some future date it was rebuilt, it would have to be relocated out of the easement(See Jeanne Mabusth letter to Richard Schieffer, April 4, 1984). No permits have since been issued by the City for repair or replacement of said garage, hence we assume its status and condition have not changed. The City may at some future date have a need to make use of the full 15-foot easement for the specified purposes, hence the City is not readily inclined to vacate or reduce its width at this time. And,given the location of this easement in relation to the adjacent properties to the north and west, relocation of the easement elsewhere on the property does not appear to be in the City's best interest. In regard to'what happens next',I would urge all parties to accept the current situation as-is. In order to vacate the easement, the Council would have to find that it serves no public purpose. It is my opinion that this finding could not be made.

Mabusth Zoning Administrator DATE: April 4 , 1:84 SUBJECT: #821 Scott McLain, 225 Tonka Avenue vacation of the westerly 100 feet of Brook Street as platted in Bayside Addition to Lake Minnetonka 'OWING DISTRICT - LR-IA APPLICATION - Vacation of an unimproved platted road In the process of selling their home on Tonka Avenue, the McLain 's discovered that their residence encroached 4 feet in the right or way of Brook Street and their garage (14 feet x 18 feet) extended 14 feet into Brook Street. It would not be feasible for the owner to move the structures and the property in its present state is impossible to sell. In order to clear the title on their property, the applicants request the vacation of a portion of Brook Street. The applicant ' s attorney certifies that Brook Street was platted on Marc; 1 , 1912 and that the subdividers and owners owned all OIL the land contained within the plat and that no portion of Brook Street i:as ever been vacated, conveyed, or otherwise trans- ferred. Upon vacation the entire 20 feet wide platted right of way will revert back to the adjacent lot (lots 1 and 2, block 3 , Bayside Addition to Lake Minnetonka) . The applicants have asked that only the westerly 100 feet of Brook Street be vacated leaving a. 25!-plu5 foot platted access corridor Oust to the east of the intersection of Tonka and Brook for the property to the immediate north. St�lff saes no problem with the proposed vacation as the City has ro :>1,.lns to improve the platted right of way.

" ' '" eraf This property was platted on March 1, 1912 by John Bjorhus xl : ' and Helen W. Djorhus, his wife. According to a copy of thep lat, and the relevant portions of the Abstract (co ies attached) all of the land underlying Brook Street was owned by Mr. and Mrs. B'orhus at the time of platting. [crook Street was never developed or opened for public travel ; in the area adjacent to the McLain property. The McLainsi�-._ irk •. were not aware that some of the buildings encroached on a j { w_ Brook Street until the fall of 1983, when it was discovered t • �Fx:. by Jeff Martineau, a sales associate with Eberhardt Company, who discovered the problem while marketing the property. x we have attached a survey which indicates an encroachment 3 by the dwelling of approximately four feet and an encroach- y, ment of the garage of approximately 14 f•-et. It appears ' that a permit to construct a basement for the home was I' issued on October 10, 1955, a permit for the <7aracte was h; , r issued on October 13, 1958, and a permit to move a storage . <1i shed onto the property was issued on June 30, 1964. i P The property is clearly unmarketable in its present state.
