Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT SEPTEMBER 18, 2006 8A JANE KANSIER, PLANNING DIRECTOR PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE VACATION OF THE EXISTING DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT LOCATED ON OUTLOT G, JEFFERS POND 1ST ADDITION Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to conduct a public hearing on the vacation of the existing drainage and utility easements on Outlot G, Jeffers Pond 1 sl Addition. Historv The existing drainage and utility easements on this site were dedicated on the Jeffers Pond 1 sl Addition, approved by the City Council on June 6, 2005. This plat included Outlot G, which was designated for future development. Wensmann Realty has filed an application to replat this outlot as Jeffers Pond 3rd Addition. The new plat would allow the development of this site for townhouses and the future fire station. The configuration of the development on the site has changed since the approval of the preliminary plan. For that reason, the drainage and utility easement is no longer necessary. The new plat will rededicate the necessary easements. Current Circumstances The Planning Commission considered this request on September 11, 2006. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed vacation. The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically discuss utility easements, other than as a function of ensuring access to public utilities. The vacation of these easements is not inconsistent with any specific goal or objective of the Comprehensive Plan. The new plat will dedicate necessary easements for this area. The approval of this vacation would allow the development of the new lot. If the vacation is approved, it will allow for additional development area of the lot, which will contribute to the City's tax base. The vacation will also facilitate construction of a new fire station. 1. Adopt a Resolution approving the vacation. 2. Direct staff to prepare a resolution denying the vacation. 3. Continue this item to the October 2,2006, City Council meeting. The Planning Co mission and staff recommend Alternative #1.
