To facilitate error-free rededication of all necessary and standard drainage and utility easements on the final plat in accordance with existing underground utilities and with the new property line locations, the vacation of all pre-existing easements was required and requested. The public hearing to vacate the underlying easements was held and Mr. Christian announced that he lost the buyer for one of the lots and he would not be recording the plat until there was a buyer. Mr. Goodrich recommended that the underlying easements not be vacated until the replat is a certainty. Therefore, Council denied the request to vacate the easements at that time. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) Site location map Exhibit of underlying lots and easements and proposed lots and easements proposed ordinance ' '~ "'" Observations: Mr. Christian now has a buyer for the lot occupied by the existing building and he is preparing to record the plat. We must now proceed again with the public hearing and ordinance adoption to · vacate the underlying easements. Recommendation: City Staff recommends introduction of the enclosed ordinance to vacate pre-existing easements. Council Action: Motion to: Introduce Ordinance #97- to vacate all drainage and utility easements within the boundaries of the plat of Ramsey Commercial Park.
