CASE <br /> <br /> REQUEST TO VACATE DEDICATED STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY <br /> ACROSS OUTLOTS C AND D OF NORTHFORK ADDITION; <br /> CASE OF NORTH FORK, INC, <br /> By: James Gromberg, Project Manager <br />Background: <br /> <br />North Fork, Inc. is requesting that the City of Ramsey vacate certain easements that were acquired <br />during the platiing process of Northfork, P.U.D. The first easement across Ouflot D, connecting <br />153rd Avenue:N.W. with Highway #10, was acquired before the City had decided on the exact <br />routing of the!future connection of 153rd Avenue N.W. to Highway gl0. The City has now <br />connected 153rd Avenue N.W. to Highway gl0 using a different alignment than the easement that <br />was acquired. ~;tate Statute requires that it be found in the public interest to vacate a public street or <br />right-of-way. The vacation being requested is based on the City no longer having a need for that <br />particular alignment for a connection of 153rd Avenue N.W. to Highway gl0. It is my opinion <br />that the City v~cate the easement across Outlot D of Northfork Addition for the alignment of 153rd <br />Avenue N.W. to Highway gl0. <br /> <br />As for the vacation of the fight-of-way easement across Outlot C connecting Andrie Street N.W. to <br />164th Avenue ,N.W. in Woodlawn Estates, as indicated in the City Engineer's review letter dated <br />November 20, 1991, the Planning and Zoning Commission will need to receive additional input <br />from the developer and the Commission as to the alignment of streets in this area before it decides <br />whether or not[to vacate this easement. The Planning and Zoning Commission may wish to review <br />the City's Thoroughfare Plan to see if a street connecting these two areas is required to promote <br />future growth Of the City. If this is the case, the City may wish to require from North Fork, Inc. <br />an agreement Io connect a street into 164th Avenue N.W. but not to designate that particular <br />alignment for the street.
