RE: VACATION OF ALLEY IN BLOCK 13, MENDELSSOHN (BETWEEN MALONEY AVENUE AND BELMORE LANE, AND BETWEEN BLAKE ROAD AND GRIFFIT STREET).

TO : VILLAGE ENGINEER NEGNER

You will recall that at the Regular Council Meeting of June 10, the Council vacated the above alley, with instructions to the Clerk to delay the recording of the Resolution Vacating, until such time as the proper easements are secured.

The attached letters will show that both NSP and NW Bell have lines in the alley; and., at the meeting somebody mentioned a storm drain.

Will you please let me know when all these easements are in order?

(I think the common procedure is for owners to give easements directly to the utilities companies for their lines--but, will we need one for the storm drain?

Resolution will remain unrecorded until such time as I have your authority to record.

GSA, ... x: TO: VILLAGE ENGINEER HITE: 10/7/63 We now have word from NSP that their easements have been given. I talked with you today about a Vi’l’lage easement for Storm Sewer. Here are the Minutes: Will you please check this and let me know when I can transmit Resolution Vacating Alley? One lady is very anxious for Vacation to be recorded, so that she may sell her property. GSA NSIP

Village Clerk Village all Edina, Minnesota

Dear Madam: I am enclosing petition for vacating the alley as described in the petition. This is signed LOU$ by the property owners of this block. I understand the proper procedure is to have you place this on the agenda for the next meeting of the Council. Will you please do this

The wording in the petition was suggested by someone In the Village Hall and do hope all is in proper form. If there is anything further I should do, or any question you my wish to ask me before the meeting, you may call me at Federal 6-8818, Ext. 713. I am secretary to Mr* MacKinnon.

Vacating this alley is of greatest importance to me RS the extra footage will allow me enough for an extra lot at the side of my home. I have had a preliminary survey by men recommended by the Village Hall. My husband passed away last summer, and I feel if I sell the lot my son and I can remain on in the house at least until he is out of high school. I presume I shouldn't go into my personal problems, but it is the only way I know to explain my concern. $ -. Thajik you for anhhing you my do.

Mrs. F, S. Van Bergen 6416 Maloney Avenue Hopkins, Minnesota PETITION -FOR VACATINGAXEX-

The undersigned property owners of that portion of Mendelsohn Addition, Block 13, bounded on the South by Maloney Avenue, on the East by Blake Road, on the North by Belmore Lane, and on the West by Griffit Street, comprising Lots nuuibered 1 through 12, respectfully request that the 16' alley bisecting said block running North and South be vacated. This petition is made with the understanding that no building could be erected across the vacated alley, that the Village of Edina would have an easement,,and that this easement would allow for the drain tile now in existence; and also that the taxes would not be affected by virtue of vacating the alley.
