Michael Leek, Associate Planner/Acting Assistant Planner Public hearing to consider vacation of part of a roadway easement located on the old Chatonka Beach Trail, located north of existing Beach Street and East of Bluebird Trail April 9, 1996 The purpose of this public hearing is to consider the vacation of part of a roadway easement located on the old Chatonka Beach Trail (See Exhibit A, attached hereto, for the location of the easement). At or about the time of Council approval of the final plat approval of Knob Hill, city staff was directed by the Council to pursue the vacation of the roadway easement. Notice of the hearing was published in the Prior Lake American on March 3D, and April 6, 1996. However, individual notices were not sent to the Beach Street neighborhood. For this reason, staff recommends that the City Council open the public hearing, and continue it to allow time for individual notices to be sent. The City Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed release of Easement No. 84-8, and has concluded that the roadway portion should be released as shown on Exhibit A. This easement was originally acquired by the City through condemnation. In a vacation request, the City must determine whether there is a public need or anticipated future need for the dedicated property. After review, the Engineering staff has concluded that there is existing and future need for the easement for drainage and utility purposes, and future need for a portion of the roadway easement. The public needs identified by City Staff are as follows; 1. As a part of the recent plat of Knob Hill, water quality ponds were installed. One of these ponds is adjacent to the CllATONCCDOC 16200 ~ Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake. Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER subject easement. In some areas the existing gravel roadway will be removed as part of the grading of the pond. To create additional water quality and water storage in the future, the 16.5' easement would be needed to expand to the West. (See Grading Plan attached) 2. The existing gravel surface within the subject easement is an ideal area for heavy equipment to maneuver around the pond without causing damage to the yards of the adjacent lots. (See Grading Plan attached) 3. As shown on the "Utility Map" (a copy of which is attached) the City does have several underground utilities at the Southwest end of the easement (Le. near Beach Street). Most notable is the sanitary sewer located at the South end of Lot 4, Block 4, Knob Hill. This sewer is approximately 28 feet deep. There is also a storm sewer that cuts across the existing easement near Beach Street. It is imperative that the utility portion of this easement be retained for future maintenance of these facilities. 4. The roadway easement at Hemlock Circle should be retained, so that if the property to the East develops, 50 feet of right-of-way will be available. (See Exhibit A attached) ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve Resolution 96-29 authorizing the vacation of part of a roadway easement located on the old Chatonka Beach Trail. 2. Continue the public hearing until the May 20, 1996, City Council meeting.' RECOMMENDATION: Alternative #2, i.e. Continuation of the public hearing to allow individual notices to be sent. ACTION REQUIRED: A motion to continue the public hearing.
