• Enciosed aze final versions of the Declaration of Access Road Easements creating the fire
lane access, and of the Declaration of Easements creating the zights to maintain the walkway and
the heating system in the hotel building far the benefit of the two-story building. Please substitute
these for the draft versions we sentto you on October 10.
E�ibit B is now attached to each and identifies the Fire Lane Access Road, the Hudson
Road Access, and the Walkway.
The surveyor has informed us that they have made all of the revisions set forth in your letter
of September 26, 2006, and the copies of their revised preluninary and proposed final plat should
have been submitted to the City by the time you receive this letter.
Please note that the legal descriptions,used are the new platted legal descripuons which we
used because the easements are necessitated only by the new plat and split of ownership and
because platted legal descriptions are preferable to the old metes and bounds descriptions. We
expect that the easements will be recorded immediately upon the filing of the plat.
Also enclosed is a copy o£ Mr. Nereng's letter to Tom Beach confirming that MnDOT has
not objection to approval of the plat.
I will be out of the office until October 30, 2006. I b�lieve that by tlxat time the City should
• have everything needed to give fmal approval. Could you please advise as to the timeframe far
obtaining that final approval and recording the plat?

It is important to note that we acknowledge that the separation of the two pazcels and the
filing of the plat accomplishes only the creafion of two sepazately platted legal pazcels with a new
boundary line between them. We are awaze that the owners of both pazcels will need to apply to
the City for permits and licenses for use of the respective buildings and for certificates of
occupancy, and that various City depariments may have additional requirements to issue such
licenses and permits as aze necessary to occupy their respective buildings.

• Enclosed are final versions of the Declaration of Access Road Easements creating the fire
lane access, and of the Declaration of Easements creating the rights to maintain the walkway and
the heating system in the hotel building for the benefit of the two-story building. Please substitute
these forthe dra8 versions we sentto you on OctobeL 10.
E�ibit B is now attached to each and identifies the Fire Lane Access Road, the Hudson
Road Access, -and the Walkway.
The surveyor has informed us that they have made all of the revisions set forth in your letter
of September 26, 2006, and the copies of their revised preliminary and proposed fmal plat should
have been submitted to the City by the tune you receive this letter.
Please note that the legal descriptions used are the new platted legal descriptions which we
used because the easements are necessitated only by the new plat and split of ownership and
because platted legal descriptions are preferable to the old metes and bounds descriptions. We
expect that the easements will be recorded immediately upon the f�ling of the plat.
Also enclosed is a copy o£ Mr. Nereng's letter to Tom Beach confirming that MnDOT has
not objection to approval of the plat.
I will be out of the office untii October 30, 2006. I b�lieve that by that time the City should
• have everything needed to give fmal approval. Could you please advise as to the timeframe for
obtaining that final approval and recording the plat?

It is unportant to note that we acknowledge that the separation of the two pazcels and the
filiag of the plat accomplishes only the creation of two sepazately platted legal parcels with a new
boundary line between them. We aze aware that the owaers of both parcels will need to apply to
the Ciry for permits and licenses for use of the respecuve buildings and for certificates of
occupancy, and that various Ciry departments "may have additional requirements to issue such
licenses and permits as are necessary to occupy their respective buildings_
