I verified with Turf that indeed the vacation request must be approved by the Council. This is not
normal, the easement was dedicated in a unusual way in the 1960s. Ashley, due to SEDA and joint
elected officials meetings. the earliest I can get on the agenda' is July 18th. I'll have you coordinate with
Karen on the 20-day notice and write the AIS. I'll present it to the Council on 7/18. This will not delay
site construction.

Good morning everyone!
The attached email from Randy outlines what trasnpired yesterday regarding the Railroad Easement anhe
Williams Bakery development site. I also received a voicemail message from Turf this morning confirming rhat a
fonnal vacation application would be i,ecess3lY to abandon this easement. Hopefully, this will not effect the
proposed development in terms of timing-there are no buildings being proposed within the easement. The only
improvements consist of a driveway and sidewalk extending out to Nugget Way, That being said, I will do my
best to get the application processed as expeditiously as possible,
Colin- When do you think t could gel this item on Council's Agenda; I know they go on recess sometime during
the summer? .
Thanks'

Ashley -
Re: Railroad Easement - Wild ish Industrial Park
Here is verification from Cascade Title that there is cno private easement attached to this dedication.
, '
I spoke with both Tom Drechsler at the county surveyor's office and to Turf McTaggart. about this, and I
believe everyone is in agreement thaUhe City of Springfield should process the vacation application we
have filed,
As always, your help in expediting this action is most appreciated.

Re: R.R. Easement as shown along the westerly lines of Lots I through 9 and the easterly lines
of Lots 10 and II, Block 2, Wildish Industrial Tracts, as platted and reeorded in Book 56, Page
II, Lane County, Oregon Plat Records.
Dear Mr. Hledik,
As we discussed by telephone last Friday, the easement was created by Wildish Industrial
Development Corporation, the land owner, by the dedication on the recorded plat... 'we hereby

dedicate to'the free use of the public forever the streets and easements as shown hereon for said
purposes respectively.' The easement is shown as'R.R. EASEMENT on the plat and I do not
find a legend or further explanation, Various widths are shown for the easement.
As we discussed, I reviewed the title report and Cascade's tract books and we find no recorded
!,'fant ofR.R. EASEMNT or RAIL ROAD EASEMENT over the area in question by separate
document.
Since this is a dedicated public easement, to eliminate the, exception ftom title reports and
policies, the easement will need to be vacated by the proper governmental authority. The
property is within the boundaries of the City of Springfield and the City should have
jurisdiction to do that.
Call me if you require additional infonnation. .
