On April 5, 2011, the Minnesota Court of Appeals determined Kerrick Township was entitled to summary judgment on a road vacation dispute. A Township resident claimed he was entitled to personal service of notice the Town Board was going to consider a road vacation petition. In a published opinion, the Court of Appeals decided the resident was not entitled to personally served notice because he was not an “affected landowner.” An “affected landowner” is a person whose land abuts the road in question. Because “Third Street [did] not pass through, or even abut appellant’s land,” he was not entitled to personal service. Kerrick Township was represented by Paul D. Reuvers and Andrea B. Wing.
