The subdivision of Orchard Hills included a portion of Rademacher Addition and required a rep[at of the area. This previously platted parcel in Rademacher Addition contained the standard drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the lot. Now the property has been replatted as part of the Orchard Hills Development and Cobalt Street N.W. New drainage and utility easements have been dedicated around the perimeter of all new lot lines. Notification: In accordance with State Statute, City Staff attempted to notify property owners within 350 feet of the subject property of the public hearing to vacate easements. Observations: It takes a public hearing and Council ordinance to eliminate the underlying drainage and utility easements that existed as part of Rademacher Addition. The easements to be vacated are on the former south and east property lines of Lot 1, Block 1, Rademacher Addition. The underlying easement on the east property line now lies within the platted road right of way for the northerly extension of Cobalt Street. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) Site location map Exhibit of underlying easements to be vacated (2 sheets) Proposed ordinance Recommendation: City Staff recommends introduction of the enclosed ordinance to vacate pre-existing easements.
