VIENO December 18, 1964 1 The Honorable Council of the City of Saint Paul City Hall 15 West Kellogg Boulevard Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 Gentlemen: I OF COUNSEL MAYER SHAPIRO We are counsel for Mr. Harry I. Shapiro, owner of Lots Five, Six, Seven and Twenty -one, Auditor's Subdivision No. 67. Mr. Shapiro requests the City of Saint Paul to release by Quitclaim Deed public utility rights which have been reserved by the City of Saint Paul in vacated Westerlo Street, which right has been reserved on a Cer- ti -ficate of Title, number 213206, dated October 19, 1964. It is our understanding that Westerlo Street, as platted, was never constructed in the area now known as Auditor's Subdivision No. 67. Further discussion with the Department'of Public Works has disclosed that there has never been an installation of or plan for installa- tion of public utilities. The vacated portion of Westerlo Street which affects our client' property was vacated by Resolution adopted by the Board of Aldermen on October 21, 1902, and adopted by the Assembly on November 6, 1902, and approved on November 7, 1902. (Bd. F No. 16561) The Reso- lution itself does not contain the reservation of public utility rights nor does it refer to any ordinance creating a reservation by reference to such ordinance. In view of this, it appears that there was not a reservation of public utility rights by the City of Saint Paul at the time of the vacation. Consequently, we request a release of;such public utility rights as there may be in the vacated portion of Westerlo Street affecting I The Honorable Council of The City of Saint Paul December 18, 1964 Page 2- the following described real estate: Lots Five (5) , Six (6) , Seven (7) and Twenty - one (21), Auditor's Subdivision No. 67, St. Paul, Minn., according to the'recorde plat thereof on file and of record In the office of the Register of Deeds in and for Ramsey County, Minnesota. Lots Five through Seven are registered and Lot Twenty -one is Ab- stract. Therefore, we would appreciate separate deeds. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
