MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: REVIEWED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT OCTOBER 16, 2000 7A JANE KANSIER, PLANNING COORDINATOR DON RYE, PLANNING DIRECTOR PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION VACATING A PORTION OF THE 25' WIDE DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT LOCATED ON LOT 17, BLOCK 1, NORTHWOOD OAKS ESTATES 2ND ADDITION History: Northwood Oaks Estates 2nd Addition was originally platted in July, 2000. A 25' wide drainage and utility easement was platted along the south property line of Lot 17, Block 1, to accommodate the placement and maintenance of a sewer line. While the final plat identified a 25' wide easement at this location, the construction plans indicated a 20' wide easement. Karl and Denise Tremmel are in the process of purchasing this lot. The house they plan on the lot was based on the 20' wide easement shown on the construction plans. The 25' wide easement was discovered when the purchasers had a survey drawn to locate the house on the lot. The applicants are requesting the vacation of 5' of the 25' wide easement. The purpose of this petition is to allow the construction of a new dwelling on this lot. Current Circumstances: The Planning Commission reviewed this vacation request on October 9,2000. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed vacation. 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 easement is not inconsistent with any specific goal or objective of the Comprehensive Plan. The City Engineer has noted a 20' wide easement is sufficient for the location and the maintenance of the existing sewer line. 1:\OOfiles\OOvac\OO-073\OO-073 cc report. doc Page 1 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

As noted above, the City Engineer has noted a 20' wide easement is sufficient for the location and the maintenance of the existing sewer line. The approval of this vacation would allow the construction of a new dwelling on this property. Conrlm:inl1' The Planning Commission and the staff recommend approval of the easement vacation. The City Council has three alternatives: 1. Adopt a Resolution approving the vacation. 2. Direct staff to prepare a resolution denying the vacation. 3. Defer this item and provide staff with specific direction. The Planning Commission and staff recommend Alternative #1. A motion and second to adopt a Resolution approving the vacation of the easement as requested is required. 1:\OOfiles\OOvac\OO-073\OO-073 cc report. doc Page 2 RESOLUTION OO-XX RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE VACATION OF A PORTION OF THE 25' WIDE DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT LOCATED ALONG THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE OF LOT 17, BLOCK 1, NORTHWOOD OAKS ESTATES 2ND ADDITION MOTION BY: SECOND BY: WHEREAS, a petition for the vacation of a portion of the 25' wide drainage and utility easement located along the south lot line of Lot 17, Block 1, Northwood Oaks Estates 2nd Addition, has been duly presented to the City of Prior Lake, signed by the owners of the property abutting the following described easement situated in the City of Prior Lake, Scott County, Minnesota to wit: LEGAL DESCRIPTION: The north 5.00 feet of the south 25.00 feet of Lot 17, Block 1, Northwood Oaks Estates 2nd Addition, except the westerly 10.00 feet and the easterly 10.0 feet thereof; and WHEREAS, notice of the hearing on said petition has been duly published and posted in accordance with the applicable Minnesota Statutes, and WHEREAS, a Public Hearing was held on said petition on Monday, October 16, 2000, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the Prior Lake Fire Station #1; and WHEREAS, the City Council then proceeded to hear all persons interested in said petition and persons interested afforded the opportunity to present their views and objections to the granting of said petition; and WHEREAS, the City Council of Prior Lake has determined that the vacation of said easement would be in the public interest.

To: The City of Prior Lake From: Karl & Denise Tremmel Request for Vacation of Easement We would like the City of Prior Lake to Vacate part of the easement on the South side of Lot 17, Block 1, Northwood Oaks Estates Second Edi~ion. The City currently has a 25- foot easement on the south side of our lot and we request that this be changed to a 20-foot easement, with the City vacating the Northern 5-feet of this easement. This is a City Sewer easement and is greater than necessary for the sewer at this site. Where our house would be located on the lot, the sewer is approximately 20 feet deep (according to the records We have been shown at the City of Prior Lake Engineering Department). The requirement for this type of easement is usually a 1: 1 slope on either side of the sewer. This means that at the location of our proposed house, the easement should be 20 feet. When the sewer was installed, there was a much steeper grade than the 1: 1 that the city is now requiring and they only needed to dig about 10 feet into my lot because the soil in that area is heavy clay, not a sandy soil base. This type of soil stays in place very well when excavated. Our house plans have the garage on that side of the lot, so there will not be a foundation there. We have been planning to build this house for months. We were not advised of this easement until the survey was completed to apply for our building pennit. We request that the City issue a Vacation of the Easement and reduce the required easement to 20 feet. We have contacted the owner of the adjacent lot (Kurt Larson, Lot 16, Block 1, Northwood Oaks Estates Second Edition) in accordance with section D of the Submission Requirements. Kurt is in agreement that a IS-foot easement would be acceptable and has signed a document to that fact (see Attached).
