Approve Highway 10 access easement to benefit property located at 6781 Highway 10 NW.

The City through the RALF program purchased a vacant lot in 2009 located on Highway 10 and directly west of Pro Power Sports and Marine whose address is 6781 Highway 10 NW.  The legal description of the City lot is Tract A, Registered Land Survey No. 249, Anoka County, Minnesota.  Attached is a drawing depicting the lot.

The State of Minnesota,sometime ago, acquired the right-of-way access to the City lot and the lots lying directly east (6781 Hwy 10) and west of the City lot, except for a 40' opening located in the southeast corner of the City lot.

PSG, LLC the owner of 6781 Hwy 10 is now selling that lot and wants to confirm its Hwy 10 access by a recorded easement across the southerly 30 feet of the easterly 30 feet of the City lot.  This area is already encumbered by a 40 foot wide service road easement which lies adjacent to Highway 10 and encumbers all three lots.  Staff recommends granting the access easement.  A copy of the proposed easement document is attached.  Since this is a RALF acquired property, Metropolitan Council approval of the easement grant will be required.
