CASE ADOPT ORDINANCE TO VACATE DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENTS IN PARK 67 INDUSTRIAL PARK; CASE OF CAMAS MINNESOTA, INC. By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: The City received an application from CAMAS Minnesota, Inc. to vacate certain drainage and utility easements on the site formerly occupied by Bjorklund Ready Mix at 6100 Industry Avenue N.W. The site recently expanded by the acquisition of property to the south and east via the plat of Business Park 95 5t~ Addition. Consequently, CAMAS (new owners of Bjorklund Ready Mix site) is requesting that the standard drainage and utility easements on the former south and east property boundaries be vacated. On January 12 the City Staff recommended to Council that the easements be vacated provided that the applicant replace these easements along the new property lines. Jim Lindberg of Lindberg & McKinnis, P.A., was present representing Camas and Bjorklund and presented the City Council with a letter signed by the current property owner, Camas, indicating an intent to replace the vacated easements along the new property lines. Notification: In accordance with State Statute, persons owning property within 350 feet of the subject property were notified of the January 5 public hearing to consider vacating the easements. Observations: On January 12, 1999, Council introduced the ordinance to vacate the utility easements and requested a confirmation from the City Engineer that vacating these easements will not have an adverse affect on the drainage plan for the area generally. The City Engineer has gone on record as determining that the vacation of these easements will have no impact on the drainage plan for the area.
