the court to declare a 60 -foot strip of land (in Roseland) a public right-of-way and to order the <br />Sheriff to cause clearing of vehicles, trash, debris, fences, gates, or any other encroachments, as <br />well as, to compel the Sheriff to prevent trespassing on the 60 -foot strip. The court subsequently <br />dismissed both cases because it found neither plaintiff had a clear legal right to the relief <br />requested. <br />Attorney Collins informed the Board of Mr. Kirrie's request for a resolution to be <br />adopted, accepting the 60 -foot strip of land on the Fleming Grant Plat. He provided background <br />history of the subject land, and pointed out the advantages of accepting the offer. He thereafter <br />recommended that the County adopt the resolution accepting the 60 -foot strip of land, as it could <br />facilitate a future emergency connection between the southerly termini of 129th and 130th <br />Avenues. <br />Mr. Fred Mensing said he had requested that this matter be continued until he has <br />an attorney present, because he did not receive the packet until Friday afternoon (April 18, <br />2008). <br />Attorney Collins noted that this matter was on the March 18, 2008 Agenda, and at <br />Mr. Mensing's request it was extended to today. <br />Mr. Mensing presented arguments along with supporting data (copies on file) to <br />aid his case of opposition to staff's recommendation and to support his claim to ownership of the <br />subject strip of land. He referenced the survey of 1990 when he purchased the property from <br />"Sembler," and briefly described the property as it was at the time of purchase. Mr. Mensing <br />claimed he possesses free and clear title to the subject strip of land from the center of 129th Street <br />for a distance of 660 feet to the east. He thought it would be wise for the Board to reject <br />Attorney Collins's efforts because there are other issues that needed to be addressed. <br />14 <br />April 22, 2008 <br />
