Dear Rolfes
An odd one ease in today, even odder than the Falk case. I am
enclosing copies submitted to me today. A brief on this is as follows:
Mr. Bets made application last year for a permit for a new house and
submitted a surrey, marked A, which showed he met the setback require-
ments, so I issued the permit. Be started construction and I inspected
footings, noting they were set by a surveyor - a lath with a red flag -
and passed them. When I inspected the framing, at which tine dirt was
leveled off; it seemed that he was too olose to the road and asked his
to bring the surveyor out so I could watch a measurement. They then
come up with a front setback of 2141 so I halted construction until
Bets cleared a variance through council, which was granted.
Zarly this year Mr. Bets applied for a vacation of Lake Street,
(the other half was vacated years ago) which is still pending before
Village Council. Today he comes up with a new survey by a new sur-
veyor and submitted Exhibit B, which shows the house on foresaid Lake
Street and also on the City right-of-way. This also shows the City
road actually on private property to the north. M.S.S. 160.05, Sub. 2,
states that the City, through a six year usage can acquire two rods
on each side of bhe road. The legal question then does the City own
the entire area es plotted, or 669 on each side of the existing
property? If they own the entire area, Mr. Bets is in trouble with
the City as well as us.
People have called as and said his house also appeared to be in the
Village Lake Street access, and I always told then the survey shows
he 1s �5' vwq.
One could question whethor he knew he was in the right-of-way and that
was the reason for asking for the vacation of the street, but I note
the new survey was made on June 10 oand his application for a street
vacation has been pending for four months.
Please advise.
Yours truly.
