MEETING DATE:
AGENDA #:
PREPARED BY:
AUGUST 16,2004
JANE KANSIER, PLANNING DIRECTOR
AGENDA ITEM:
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION INITIATING
THE VACATION OF A DRAINAGE AND UTILITY
EASEMENT LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY AT 5191 HOPE
STREET SE
DISCUSSION:
Historv: Mark Ruths owns property located at 5191 Hope Street.
When the property was platted in 1977, it dedicated a 20' wide
easement through Lot 22, Block 2, for an existing sanitary sewer line.
As part of the 2003 reconstruction project, the City relocated this
sewer line to the east within an existing easement.
Current Circumstances: Mr. Ruths would like to build a detached
garage on his property. While the proposed garage does not encroach
into the existing easement, a retaining wall around the garage would
encroach into the easement. Mr. Ruths is requesting the City Council
initiate the vacation of this easement.
The Issues: Minnesota Statutes 412.851 allows the Council to initiate
by motion the vacation of any easements or right-of-way. A motion to
initiate the vacation will refer this matter to the Planning Commission
and allow the staff to schedule a public hearing at the City Council. In
addition, this action will eliminate the need for the property owners to
file a petition and pay the application fee.
Conclusion: The staff recommends the City Council initiate the
vacation of this easement. Any issues will be identified during the
review process.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council has three alternatives:
1. Adopt a Resolution initiating the vacation of the existing easement
on Lot 22, Block 2, Mitchell Pond.
2. Deny this Resolution.
3. Defer this item and provide staff with specific direction.
