November 9, 1993 Mr. Mike Gaffron Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 Dear Mr. Gaffron: Please be advised, that after further review of the proposed road vacation of the right-of-way described as Hillside Place located between 3345 and 3339 Crystal Bay Road, the Department of Natural Resources still opposes it. A vacation of a public street must be in the public's best interest. According to the Minnesota Supreme Court, in the Baldwin case, "And where, as here it is proposed to vacate a street which is located upon a lake shore, the matter should receive "our most careful consideration ... the final test is whether the public interest will or will not be best served by discontinuing the way." The Baldwin case further goes on to state, " ... yet the state, though not a party to nor represented in the proceedings, has real and substantial rights to protect ... " It is therefore, the Department's position that we are protecting and preserving the rights of the public for whatever present,or future use this right-of-way may hold. The question of another street, closer by, being used as an access, is irrelevant. In Krebs vs. Northern they address that specifically, "It is no answer that Second street is better adapted for development or that it would afford more convenient access to the present public desireing to go to the lake ... the question for consideration here is whether First street is useless, not whether some other street is more useful, for the purpose for which it was laid out.'' This case also indicates that it is irrelevant as to whether the current road has been used on a regular basis In our opinion there is no evidence showing that this right-of-way holds no potential future use. There is evidence in effect that in the future there may be a greater need for use of the street than now exists. Most of the lakeshore lots in the vicinity, and around Lake Minnetonka, have been sold to private individuals, and are being used. Fifty years ago who would have known about the invention of the snowmobile, and how important access for that is. Who knows what will be in place fifty years from now. In closing, a closer look at the dedication in the Wallace's addition plat makes it appear that the City does not have jurisdiction to vacate this right- of-way since it is not a City street, but instead the road was given in fee to the plat owners in common {see enclosured). AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER r-•' - PAGE TWO I appreciate you giving the Department an opportunity to comment on this proposed vacation. Should you have any questions regarding this please feel free to give me a call.

(612) 772-7935 FILENO. October 18, 1993 Mr. Mike Gaffron Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 Dear Mr. Gaffron: Please be advised that the State of Minnesota, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Tr.ails and Wate~wnys opposes the proposed vacation of the right-of-way described as Hil.lside Place located between 3345 and 3339 cr:ystal Bay Road, as shown on the attached map. This right-of-way as originally dedicatod, vrovides a means of access to Lake Minnetonka. The fact that it has never fully been developed, or used by the public does not prBclude future public usa, The citi~ens of Minnesota have a right to use all of the public waters in our state, Any attempt to preclude public access should be carefully considered. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources devotes considerable effort to providing citizens with frQe and adequate access to our water throughout ·the state. According to the Minnesota Supreme Court, a vacation of a public street must be in the public interast. Additionally, the public includes persons other than those in the immediate vicinity. Our goal is to protect and preserve the public's right to all forms of accesses. These accesses can include but are not limited to shore fishing, canoe/carry-in access, winter access, boat access, swimming and picnic areas, and observation areas. Arly access the public has, has value. The water is public, and any access is an access to public property. The public owns it now, and should not lose any property or opportunity. No accoss should be simply "given" to the adjacent neighbors. Although there is other public property on Lake Minnetonka, that is not the test. The test is whether the vacation of this particular right-of-way is ·in the best interest of the publio. Pl.ease consider the above request for the denial of the proposed vacation. Additionally I would be glad to maet with any concerned parties to discuss any other options.
