5.1. SR 10-16-1995~-~,~ ~~ "ity of .~~ lk • R~ FROM: Steve Rohlf, B & Z Administrator DATE: October 16, 1995 s~ SUBJECT: Petition to Abandon a Portion of County Ditch #10 The recently completed storm sewer project at Evans and Main makes a portion of County Ditch #10 unnecessary. The attached map shows the portion of County Ditch #10 which no longer serves a useful function. Because the city's new storm water system is separate from the county ditch in this area, the county ditch should be eliminated versus the city taking it over using the recently passed special legislation. Staff recommends the city, as a property owner in this area, petition the County Board to abandon that portion of County Ditch #10 in question. Attached to this memo is a petition for abandonment. It is anticipated that the County Board would accept the city's petition at their November 7 county ditch meeting and set a public hearing on this issue for their December 5 county ditch meeting. Staff will be in attendance at the public hearing. councff:cntydich ITEM 5.1. MEMORANDUM ~~~ TO: Mayor & City Council 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
