CC Regular Session 6. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 08/23/2022 <br />By: Todd Larson, Community Development <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Public Hearing - Vacating Portions of Drainage and Utility Easements in Hunt Addition, Davis Farms Addition, and <br />Trott Brook Addition <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Three existing platted parcels are proposed to be replatted into two parcels called Davis Farms Second Addition. <br />This plat is in relation to the expansion of the Green Valley Greenhouse. The three existing parcels have perimeter <br />drainage and utility easements that should be vacated and re -dedicated in the proposed plat along the new property <br />lines. <br />Notification: <br />Notification was provided in the Anoka UnionHearld Newspaper on August 12. Mailed notices were sent on <br />August 10 to property owners within 350 feet of all three existing parcels. The utility providers were emailed a <br />notice directly. <br />Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: <br />Each of the three parcels was platted with typical perimeter drainage and utility easements. With the adjustment of <br />lot lines, the existing easements would be in the wrong locations. New perimeter easements will be provided with <br />the new plat. <br />The Hunt Addition parcel included a large rectangular area over the ditch at the southwest corner of the lot. This <br />easement is excessively large and can be reduced in area. <br />Alternatives: <br />1. Approve the vacation as requested by the applicant and recommended by staff. <br />2. Approve the vacation with modifications. <br />3. Deny the vacation based on certain findings leaving the existing easements in place. This would affect the <br />placement of planned greenhouses. <br />Funding Source: <br />Costs associated with this request are covered by the applicant. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of vacating the easements as new easements will be dedicated with the new plat. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #22-182 vacating drainage and utility easements on parcels in the plats of Hunt <br />Addition, Davis Farms Addition, and Trott Brook Addition. <br />Attachments <br />Resolution 22-182 <br />
