I I I I I I I I I CASE INTRODUCE ORDINANCE TO VACATE DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT IN A.E.C. ENERGY PARK; CASE OF DIRECT ENCLOSURES By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Direct EncloSures recently received site plan approval from the City to construct their new building on Lot 1, Block 2, A.E.C. Energy Park (6825 Sunwood Drive N.W.). During site plan review, it was noted that the building pad is encumbered with a drainage and utility easement. The purpose of the easement was to protect the wetland as defined on the A.E.C. plat. As a result of the Direct Enclosures permit from the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization, a wetland mitigation replacement plan has been approved on the adjacent parcel to the east. Therefore, the wetland area on the Direct Enclosures parcel is being filled for a building pad and the City can release the easement. Since the City owns the adjacent property to the east, north and west, there is no need for the standard drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the Direct Enclosures lot and they also are proposed to be vacated. Direct Enclosures is also dedicating a utility easement across the southeast comer of their lot to accommodate the storm sewer. Notification: In accordance with State Statue, property owners within 500 feet of the subject property were notified of the August 10, 1999 hearing. Observations: The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Exhibit of easements to be vacated and dedicated c) Proposed ordinance Recommendation: City staff recommends that Council introduce the ordinance to vacate the utility and drainage easement. Council Action: Motion to introduce Ordinance #99-XX to vacate certain drainage and utility easements on Lot 1, Block 2, A.E.C. Energy Park.
