Christopherson v. Fillmore Township

Court of Appeals of Minnesota

1Opinion of the Court

OPINION

THOMAS G. FORSBERG, Judge.

Appellant Fillmore Township challenges the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of respondent Dennis Christo-pherson and denial of its motion for partial summary judgment related to the vacation of a township road which divided Christopher-son’s property. Because the minimum width of an easement that would provide “access” under Minn.Stat. § 160.09, subd. 3, (1996), has not been set by statutes or easelaw, we conclude that it was error for the court to rule that twenty feet does not provide access and accordingly, we reverse.
