HomeMy WebLinkAboutFW 3640 Bayside RoadPlease review and let’s discuss. I have been talking to Jake Barkley for several weeks on first his acquisition of the property at 3640 Bayside Road and subsequently the lake access lots associated with the property. Melanie Curtis *952.249.4627 *mcurtis@ci.orono.mn.us <mailto:mcurtis@ci.orono.mn.us> From: Jacob Barkley [mailto:jbarkley@barkleylandscapes.com] Sent: Monday, November 02, 2015 12:02 PM To: Melanie Curtis <MCurtis@ci.orono.mn.us>; Jacob Barkley <jbarkley@barkleylandscapes.com> Subject: 3640 Bayside Road Melanie - Thank you for your time on the phone this morning. As requested, please accept this email as a formal application to purchase two parcels of land that are owned by the city and are adjacent to two parcels of land that I currently own. Our residence is located at PID 05-117-23-21-0011; and the two parcels that I own are 05-117-23-24-0122 and 05-117-23-24-0023. The two parcels that we would like to purchase from the city are 05-117-23-24-0118 and 05-117-23-24-0117. Please see attached screen shots that identify the parcels with an aerial view and PID #. We have researched the deed documents for 0118 (LOT 2 BLOCK 3 Bay View Park) and 0117 (LOT 15 BLOCK 1 Bay View Park) and the statute regarding re-sale of properties, and believe that it would be legal for the city to sell these parcels. Please see the deed and an image of an excerpt from the state statute attached. I believe that this purchase of these parcels would clear up some issues regarding lake usage and dock-age in regards to existing easements and historical usage. Also, of course we could continue to maintain the property that the former owner took care of for over 40 years. Please let me know if there is an application fee or escrow for the city's attorney to consider this matter and when we can look forward to a decision. We would like to be considered the only viable buyer for these two parcels since we are the only adjacent landowner. We would like to pursue this purchase as the only possible buyer for these parcels since we are looking to untangle an already complicated situation. If this is not going to be the case, please let me know so I can retract this request. If that is the case, I would like to pursue other avenues such as an easement to clarify the situation. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
