SAN DELIN LAW OFFICE ATTORNEYS AT LAW 30849 FIRST STREET PAUL J.SANDELIN P.O.Box 298 TELEPHONE(218)568-8481 STACY M.JOHNSON PEQUOT LAKES,MINNESOTA 56472 FAX(218)568-8444 www.lakesarealaw.com January 3, 2008 VIA EMAIL Sandy Peine City of Pequot Lakes 4638 County Road 11 Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 Re: Bergquist Drive Our File No. 25000.066 Dear Sandy: I reviewed the City of Pequot Lakes file for the City Hall property as well as survey work and drawings from David Landecker. I also reviewed the title policy for the City Hall property a copy of which I received from American National Bank. My understanding is that American National Bank is financing the purchase of the City Hall property through a lease purchase agreement. According to the title work and the certificate of survey for the property the 66 foot easement is for ingress, egress and utility purposes and extends from County Road 11 to the northerly boundary of the City Hall property. The easement was created when the larger Kinzie Candles tract was subdivided into the Liberty Tool tract and the tract owned by Ryan Buell as shown on the attached Certificate of Survey. Given that the City is currently purchasing the City Hall property pursuant to a Lease Purchase Agreement with American National Bank and American National Bank is the current fee owner of the property under this method of financing, we will need American National Bank to consent to a resolution to be adopted by the City of Pequot Lakes, which would identify and designate Bergquist Drive as a public street. I would also notify the other property owners that utilize the current easement (Ryan Buell and Landecker & Associates) that the City intends to designate the easement as a City Street. Designation of Bergquist Drive as a city street would not negatively impact the other property owner's use of the easement. I would recommend that the resolution be recorded with the Crow Wing County Recorder.
