approximately 126 feet north of 26th Street Northwest. Mr. Stanley Guth of Builders Land
Company, Minneapolis, said the primary.concern was the alignment of the street. People
wishing to build there will have difficulty acquiring title under the circumstances and
conveyance would have to be made in some other manner. A letter has been received from
Emma, David and Lyndon Geselle agreeing to dedicate to.the City a 75 foot wide right of way
for the northerly extension of West River Road. In consideration of this agreement to
dedicate, the City was asked to vacate those sections of 3rd Ave. N.W. as they become un-
usable and that the City remove the paving. Mr. Armstrong, City Engineer, said that
customarily the recipient takes all the expense. In this case the City is getting,the right
of way for future streets and he feels this is proper to remove this blacktop which can be
used byythe City. In the absence of W. Swanson, City Attorney, a motion was made by Larson,
second by Kamper, and all voting in favor, to table the hearing until his.return to the
Chambers. Following other hearings, the hearing was resumed. Mr. Swanson stated that the
letter of intent from the Geselle's is only an agreement to agree and was not sufficient
and that a more formalized legal document would have to be prepared which would be more
binding. In case one or other of parties would not sign, the City would have to force
dedication of the right of way by dondemnation. Right now there is no indication where the
right of way is to be located. Under the circumstances it would be best to have that right
of way dedicated before the street is vacated. Mr. Swanson didn't feel.the Council should
proceed without getting that right of way dedicated. This land is presently -not in the City
as per Mr. Armstrong, City Engineer, and the alignment has not as yet been determined. ,If
an agreement was.signed by the owners, they could determine,alignment. It would be best to
determine at the time the land is platted. There may be,diff iculty as to the location of
the right of way. Because the land is outside the City, it can be dedicated now through
the County ordinance and.they can dedicate it by an easement granted to the County. This
right of way will be located at the discretion of the City Council somewhere within this
described piece of property.. There was no one else present wishing to be heard. Mr.
Postier declared the hearing officially closed. A motion was made by Willmarth, second by
McNary, and all voted'in favor,.to vacate 3rd Avenue contingent to a signed agreement with
the Geselles, and the City Attorney was instructed to prepare this agreement for signatures
so it can be recorded and land dedicated, and the resolution for adoption.
Hearing on the final plat of Elton Hills.East Eighth Subdivision submitted by
Builders Land Company. . Mr. Stanley Guth of Builders Land Co. was present and heard. Until
Third -.-Avenue Northwest (West River Road) dedication is signed, the plat could.not be.approved.
There was..no one else present wishing to be heard. President Postier declared the hearing
officially closed. Upon motion by Willmarth, second by Larson, and all voting in favor,
the plat was approved pending suitable signed agreement on 3rd Ave. dedication, and the City
Attorney was instructed to prepare the necessary resolution for later adoption.
