PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: JULY 1, 2013
AGENDA #: 6A
PREPARED BY: JEFF MATZKE, PLANNER
PUBLIC HEARING: NO
AGENDA ITEM: REVIEW REQUEST TO VACATE A PORTION OF RIGHT OF WAY ADJA-
CENT TO 16653 NORTHWOOD ROAD AND 3121 BUTTERNUT CIRCLE
DISCUSSION: Introduction
Jim Elliason and Patricia Hejhal are requesting vacation of a portion of right-of-
way along frontage of the properties at 16653 Northwood Road and 3121 Butter-
nut Circle. The properties are located along the western shores of Upper Prior
Lake, north of County State Aid Highway 12.
Hi StOry
Much of the right of way for the public street, Northwood Road and Butternut,
was platted with the Northwood plat in 1911. In addition roadway easements
were granted in 1977. As indicated by the attached survey, the paved roadway
of Northwood road does not follow the platted right-of-way alignment in this
area. Utility lines, both public and private are located in proximity to this road-
way corridor.
CenterPoint Energy has identified a concern in regards to the location of the gas
line within the platted right-of-way, however, they do indicate that the granting of
an easement in place of the current road right-of-way for their gas main line
would alleviate their concern. A condition of approval has been attached to City
Staff's recommendations requiring that an easement be granted by the property
owners which would be sufficient for the maintenance of the CenterPoint Energy
gas main.
Current Circumstances
As required by State Statute 462.356 Subd.2, the Planning Commission is re-
quired to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the disposal or
acquisition of public lands as it relates to compliance with the Comprehensive
Plan.
Upon proper notification, State Statute 412.851 allows the Council to vacate right-
of-way by resolution. The statute also states "no such vacation shall be made
unless it appears to be in the public interest to do so. "
ISSUES: The Planning Commission must make two determinations. Does the vacation of
the existing right-of-way comply with the Comprehensive Plan and is there a pub-
lic need or anticipated future need for the dedicated property?
Comprehensive Plan Review
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to "provide well-maintained
streets, water distributions systems, sewage systems, and other municipal servi
ces". The portion of the public right of way area proposed to be vacated in this
case is not needed to provide adequate street access or utility service to the res-
idential neighborhood. The roadway as travelled is not located within this platted
right of way.
Public Need
The result of the excessive area of right-of-way width is the location of Northwood
Road further west of the platted right-of-way. This curvature of the existing road-
way is a more suitable location for the roadway corridor that the sharper curvature
of the platted right-of-way, therefore the City has no plans to relocate the existing
Northwood Road with the originally platted right-of-way. The portion of the public
right of way area proposed to be vacated is not needed to provide street access
or utility service to the residential neighborhood contingent upon the granting of
an easement for the existing gas main service line.
Conclusion
The portion of the public right of way requesting to be vacated is not needed to
facilitate access or utility services to the residential neighborhood contingent
upon the granting of an easement for the existing gas main service line. As a
result City Staff recommends approval of the vacation of the requested portion
of right of way with the following conditions:
• The property owners shall grant an easement which would be sufficient
for the maintenance of the CenterPoint Energy gas main.
• The approval resolution vacating the public right of way shall be rec-
orded at the Scott County Recorder's Office within 60 days of City Coun-
cil approval.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend the City Council approve the proposed vacation as presented
or with changes recommended by the Planning Commission.
2. Continue the discussion to a date and time certain to allow the City Staff to
provide additional information specifically requested by the Planning Com-
mission.
3. Based upon expressed findings of fact, recommend the City Council deny
part or all of the applications based upon inconsistency of the proposal with
specific regulations of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances and/or spe-
cific policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDED City Staff recommends Alternative #1. A motion and second to recommend the
MOTION: City Council approve the vacation as requested.
EXHIBITS: 1. Location Map
2. Aerial photo of street & utilities in the area
3. Survey (indicating proposed right-of-way vacations)
