Mr. Riordon City Clerk.'s Office 386 Courthouse St: Paul, Minnesota Re: Block 2, Dayton's Addition to St. Paul FEDERAL 2 -7383 June 6, 1961 To The Honorable Mayor and Councilmen of the City of Saint Paul: Gentlemen: On January 2.0; 1961 the City Council of the City of Saint Paul duly passed a resolution being Council File No. 200504,for the vacation of the entire alley in Block. 2, Dayton's Addition to St. Paul. Since that date the petitioner in the alley vacation proceedings, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, has complied with the terms and conditions of said resolution. Westinghouse Electric Corporation, the present owner of that portion, of the vacated alley contiguous to the portion of said Block 2 owned by it, has. commenced a registration proceeding seeking to register its title to the Easterly 148.75 feet. of the vacated alley and to its other property in said Block 2. The report of the Examiner of Titles, recommends that the petition be granted subject to the provisions of Administrative Ordinance No. 3394, Sec. 4.,(c), as amended, which provides. as follows: "The City shall reserve and hereby does reserve to and for itself and to and for any persons or corporations having public, instrumentalities in the vacated property, the right to install, maintain and operate any sewer, water, gas or electric main, pipe or conduit, or any other public instru- mentality in or upon the vacated property and to enter upon such property or, any portion thereof at any time an-a from time to time for the purpose of reconstructing, inspecting, maintaining or repairing same. " The City Council Page 2, June 6, 1961 Westinghouse Electric Corporation proposes to erect a building upon its property in Block 2, Daytones. Addition to St. Paul, and the proposed building will be located partly upon the vacated alley. Under the cir- cumstances the reservation in said. Sec. 4 (c) would, of course, be undesirable for many reasons. and as attorneys. for Westinghouse Electric Corporation, we request that the City Council waive any rights it may have in said portion of the vacated alley owned by it by reason of the provisions of said. Sec. 4 (c). In this. connection, we respectfully invite the Council's attention to the attached statements of the St. Paul Sewer Department, the St. Paul Water Department, the Northern States Power-Company and the North- western Bell Telephone Company. Their statements show that there is no use being made of the Easterly 148.75 feet of said alley by any of the utilities concerned. For the reasons set forth above we respectfully request that. the Council waive the rights reserved, by Administrative Ordinance No. 3394, Sec. 4 (c), as amended, as to the. Easterly 148.75 feet of the vacated alley in Block 2, Dd9ton's Addition to St. Paul.
