Dear Mrs Hallberg
In regard to the proposed vacation of portions of Grove Street described as
f 0 llow s :
The North 27' of Grove Street as platted from the West line of
Hansen Road to the East right-of-way line of the Minneapolis ,
Northfield and Southern Railroad: and
The South 33' of Grove Street as platted, lying between the West
line of Hansen Road and a line parallel to and 10' Westerly of the
West right-of-way line of the Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern
Railroad.
I have enclosed a sketch showing the location of our 6" gas main in the South
33 feet of Grove Street as above described. We, therefore, object to the
vacation of this portion of the street unless suitable easements are granted
Minnegasco by the succeeding property owners. When the executed easements
have been received by us, we will withdraw our objection to this proposed
vacation. We are now preparing the necessary easements.
Since we have no facilities in the North 27 feet of Grove Street as above
described, we have no objection to its vacation.
Sincerely
