JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION DENYING A
REQUEST TO VACATE A PORTION OF THE ERIE AVENUE
RIGHT-OF-WAY LOCATED ADJACENT TO 3235 KENT
STREET (Case File #03-057)
History: Patrick Jolitz has filed an application to vacate the north 8' of
the 16' wide platted alley located adjacent to the south property line of
the property at 3235 Kent Street. There is an existing home on this
property. The alley is currently unimproved. The applicant is
proposing to rebuild the existing garage and requires the additional lot
area to meet the maximum impervious surface requirements.
The alley right-of-way was originally dedicated as part ofthe Spring
Lake Townsite plat many years ago. The alley right-of-way is 16'
wide. There are utilities located within the alley right-of-way,
including a gas main, telephone cable and electric lines. Minnegasco
submitted the attached letter objecting to the vacation of the right-of-
way unless a permanent drainage and utility easement is maintained
over the right-of-way.
Current Circumstances: The Planning Commission reviewed this
vacation request on June 23, 2003. The Planning Commission
recommended denial of the proposed vacation on the basis that it is not
in the public interest.
The Issues: Minnesota Statutes 412.851 allows the Council to vacate
easements or right-of-way by resolution. The statute states, "no such
vacation shall be made unless it appears to be in the public interest to
do so." The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically discuss utility
easements, other than as a function of ensuring access to public
utilities. The vacation of this alley may impede access to the existing
utility easements and is thus inconsistent with the goals and objectives
of the Comprehensive Plan.

ALTERNATIVES:
RECOMMENDED
MOTION:
REVIEWED BY:
Conclusion: The Planning Commission and the staff recommend
denial of the requested vacation. If the Council approves the vacation,
this approval should be subject to the condition that an easement over
the entire 8' strip be retained and the applicant submit the required
easement documents prior to the recording of the resolution vacating
the right-of-way.
The City Council has three alternatives:
1. Adopt a Resolution denying the vacation.
2. Direct staff to prepare a resolution approving the vacation.
3. Defer this item and provide staffwith specific direction.
The Planning Commission and staff recommend Alternative #1. A
motion and second to adopt a Resolution denying the vacation of the
right-of-way is required.

Dear Ms. Kansier:
With reference to the proposed alley vacation mentioned above, CenterPoint Energy
Minnegasco does have an existing natural gas main in that portion of the alley
proposed to be vacated.
Since this gas main is necessary to serve all of the homes on this block, we must
object to this proposed vacation unless suitable easement rights are reserved to
CenterPoint Energy Minnegasco, pursuant to MnSta 160.29 & MnRule 7819.3200.
Please reserve an easement to CenterPoint Energy Minnegasco, created
by and within the document establishing the street vacation and filed with
the Scott County Recorders office, over all of the area of the alley
proposed to be vacated.
We may consider removing our objection should the petitioner wish to reimburse
CenterPoint Energy Minnegasco the cost of relocating the existing gas main. To
discuss this and any other options that may be available please have the petitioner
contact Rick Pilon, Senior Administration Engineer, at 612-321-5426.
Thank you for the advance notice and please send me a copy of the final action on
this proposal.
Respectfu lIy,
CENTERPOINT ENERGY MINNEGASCO
