Subject: Sanitary Sewer Ease:-ent
Village of `'rystal, iIi nnesota
Gentlemen:
We have your inquiry relating to an easement requested by the Village of
Crystal for the maintenance and construction of a sanitary sewer on the
following described tract of land:
That part of the Northeast Quarter of Section 9, Tomship 118, Range 21
described as follows: Beginning; at the point of meeting of the North line
of the I1IineapoliLi. St. Paul anc'_ Sault Ste I';arie Railroad right-of-way and
the {gest line of wail Avenue North; thence North along said Lest line to
a point 33 feet North of said right-of-way; thence sotthwesterly 33 feet
North and aparallel to the North line of said right-of-way to a point on
the 'fest line of Toledo Avenue extended South from. I'Murray Lane Eighth
Addition" to the said right-of-way; thence South along said West line of
November
ortmkxm 4, 1954 - continued
Toledo Avenue extended Smakhxh= to said right-of-way; thence Northeasterly
along the Northerly line of said right-of-way to the point of begirLning.
In regard to your questions. the following:
1. The sewer and appurtenances to be constructed within this tract are
designed and brill be constructed so as to permit the utilization of this tract
for heavy vehicular, including railroad; traffic.
2. the granting of the easament will not projhibit or unduly restrict
theconstruction of a road or railroad spur on this tract for the vehicular
traffic. Construction of a -railroad- spur directly over and on the same center
line as the proposed sew,r approximately along the center of the requested
easement, would not be advi-sahl fry l i;h . `T'-l.l ;� ; s�.•�-;-'a; `because of the
interference with manholes occurring between therails andthe difficulties of
sewer maintenance when the track was occupied; however, there should be no
objection to the construction of a track on either side of the sewer center
line and'within the'easement boundaries.
Yours very truly.
