Meeting Date: 05/09/2017 By: Chris Anderson, Community Development Information Title: Consider Easement Vacations, Final Plat, and Development Agreement for Brookfield 8th Addition (Project No. 16-78); Case of Brookfield Land, LLC Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to consider multiple actions related to Brookfield 8th Addition, a twenty-five (25) lot, single family residential subdivision proposed by Brookfield Land LLC (the "Applicant") on Outlot A, Brookfield 2nd Addition and PID #09-32-25-44-0017 (together, the "Subject Property"). Requested actions include vacating existing drainage and utility easements and a temporary trail easement, approval of the Final Plat, and approval of multiple agreements. The Applicant has proposed vacating an existing trail easement that runs generally along the location of the proposed roadway extension of 168th Circle NW and across the proposed lots 10, 11, and 12 of Block 2. The proposed improvements in connection with the development would result in a sidewalk along the north/west side of 168th Circle NW and a new trail access to the existing Trott Brook Trail. The existing trail easement was put into place as a temporary means to provide local residents access to the Trott Brook Trail. This development will establish a permanent trail access. The Applicant has also proposed to vacate an existing ten (10) foot drainage and utility easement that runs along the southern property line of Outlot A, Brookfield 2nd Addition. Note - the Public Hearing Notice did create some confusion from recipients of the letter that the trail was going away all together. Staff has been able to clarify as needed, and mailed a clarifying letter on January 22. The Applicant has received previous approvals for this project from the City Council including submission of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to re -guide a portion of the Subject Property from Rural Developing to Low Density Residential, rezoning a portion of the Subject Property from R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) to R-1 Residential (MUSA) and Preliminary Plat. Additionally, the Applicant had also received a variance to cul-de-sac length, front yard setback, and lot depth standards by the Planning Commission. This case was originally considered by the City Council at its February 28, 2017 regular meeting. At that meeting, the City Council did close the Public Hearing on the easement vacations. However, action on the various requests was tabled until the Metropolitan Council took action on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment request and there was resolution to the request for the City to participate in a cost -sharing of the extension of the watermain line south to 166th Ave. Notification:
