Regular Planning Commission <br />Meeting Date: 01/27/2022 <br />7.6. <br />Submitted For: Bria Raines, Community Development <br />By: Bria Raines, Community Development <br />Information <br />Title: <br />PUBLIC HEARING: Consider Ordinance 422-09 Amending City Code Section 117-56 Regarding Easement <br />Vacations <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this case is to revise the procedure of an easement vacation from requiring an ordinance to a <br />resolution. <br />In the City Code, an ordinance typically requires three meetings; one public hearing at the Planning Commission <br />meeting, and two additional meetings with City Council. The proposed change will require one public hearing at a <br />City Council meeting; at which time, the resolution would be approved or denied. <br />This code amendment would decrease the number of meetings required from two to one. This proposal comes from <br />feedback received by City Staff during a 2021 City Council work session and attempts to increase efficiencies in <br />City processes. <br />Notification: <br />Notification was provided in the City's Official Newspaper, the Anoka County UnionHerald. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Alternative 1: Approve Ordinance 422-09 as written. <br />Alternative 2: Approve Ordinance 422-09 with additional revision feedback for City Staff. <br />Alternative 3: Deny Ordinance 422-09. <br />Funding Source: <br />Staff is handling this case as part of regular duties. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 422-09. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend the City Council introduce Ordinance 422-09 Amending City Code Chapter 117-56 <br />regarding easement vacation procedure. <br />Attachments <br />Revision to Section 117-56 (Full) <br />Ordinance 422-09 <br />
