RESOLUTION NO. 21-31
RESOLUTION VACATING ALLEY EASEMENT
NORTH OF MANOR DRIVE BETWEEN ZENITH AVENUE NORTH
AND XERXES AVENUE NORTH
WHEREAS, a petition signed by the majority of property owners abutting an alley
easement on the property described as north of Manor Drive between Zenith Avenue North
and Xerxes Avenue North (the "Alley") was received by the City Clerk on April 30, 2021;
and
WHEREAS, the petition requested that the City Council, pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, section 412.851 vacate the Alley, which is legally described as follows:
All alleys adjacent to Lots 1 through 9 and 21 through 25, Block 1, Delphine Heights,
Hennepin County, Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the City Engineer reviewed and examined the signatures on said
petition and determined that such signatures constituted a majority of the landowners
abutting upon the alley to be vacated; and
WHEREAS, the City Engineer reviewed and examined City records related to the
Alley and determined that no public utilities exist within the area proposed for vacation; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing to consider the vacation of such street was held on
May 4, 2021 before the City Council in the City Hall located at 7800 Golden Valley Road,
Golden Valley, MN at 6:30 p.m. after due published and posted notice had been given, as
well as personal mailed notice to all affected property owners by the City Clerk on the 22nd
day of April, 2021 and all interested and affected persons were given an opportunity to
voice their concerns and be heard; and
WHEREAS, the Council has evaluated its interest and use of the property and has
determined that the vacation will benefit the public interest because the vacation reduces
maintenance costs and liability to the City and is predicted to foster economic growth in the
City of Golden Valley by allowing adjacent property owners to make improvements to their
properties and by increasing tax revenue and general prosperity.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Golden
Valley that:
1. The petition for vacation is hereby granted and the Alley described as follows is
hereby vacated:
All alleys adjacent to Lots 1 through 9; and 21 through 25, Block 1, Delphine
Heights, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
2. The City of Golden Valley reserves to and for itself a drainage and utility easement
over the vacated Alley, including the right to install, maintain, and operate facilities

reconstruct, inspect, maintain, or repair the facilities.
Adopted by the City Council of Golden Valley, Minnesota this 4th day of May, 2021.
