COUNCIL BUSINESS 7.01: Adopt Resolution #21-291 Designating Cartway Route and Ordering Public Hearing for Petitioned Cartway Access to Thorn Lake Property (PID #04-32-25-31-0001); Case of Thomas and Pattiann Kurak City Engineer Westby reviewed the request of Thomas and Pattiann Kurak to designate an official cartway route to the northeast corner of the site to provide access to their 40-acre landlocked thth property north of 175 Avenue, east of Chameleon Street, and south of 178 Lane. He explained there are two options to consider: the route location proposed by the petitioner; and, the route proposed by staff that provides greater public benefit and less impacts to private property owners. City Engineer Westby stated the petitioner reviewed the case and agreed the route recommended by staff through Shawn Acres Park as a better route. City Engineer Westby described the process involved to request and consider a cartway and explained that legislation was passed in 2006 that gives authority to cities to take easement from a private property for the benefit of another private property on a petitioned request. He reviewed the history of this petition and displayed a site map of the subject property that is wetland and may need to be delineated. City Engineer Westby noted the two cartway statutes governing this consideration were included in the meeting packet. He explained the Council must hold a public hearing to receive input on the cartway petition request and staff recommends it be scheduled on December 12, 2021 as a 60- day notice to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR) is required. The petitioner is required to provide notice to the MnDNR via certified mail and serve notice by hand to any affected landowners which, in this case, includes the City and one private property owner.
