longer appears to be a public purpose for the Easement. This option eliminates the City's maintenance obligations and should result in a slight cost savings to the City over time. Staff supports this option. Alternative 2: Do not vacate the Easement on the Subject Property. There does not appear to be a need for this Easement any longer. Vacating the Easement would not impede or impact access to the existing business on the Subject Property. If the Easement were vacated, the access would continue as is with the only difference being that the owner of the Subject Property would now be responsible for its maintenance. If the Easement were to be retained, the City would continue with general maintenance activities such as snow plowing, pot hole repair, and potentially resurfacing/reconstruction in the future. Staff does not support this option. Funding Source: This case is being handled as part of Staffs regular duties. Recommendation: The Public Works Committee has recommended that City Council vacate the Easement. Action: Motion to waive the City Charter requirement to read the ordinance aloud and adopt Ordinance # 16-02 vacating the fifty (50) foot Permanent Road Easement on 14911 Ramsey Blvd NW and Parcel No. 22-32-25-33-0017.
