Case #3: Adopt Ordinance to Vacate Easements in Ramsey Commercial Park; Case of Charles Christian Zoning Administrator Frolik reminded Council that Mr. Charles Christian is in the process of replatting Ramsey Commercial Park, which requires vacating existing utility and drainage easements to make way for new easements to be dedicated along the newly drawn property lines. Council introduced the ordinance on December 9, vacating those pre-existing utility easements. Ms. Frolik stated this is a standard action - this is not intended to correct drainage in that area. She noted that the ordinance is now ready for formal adoption. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Ordinance #98-01 to vacate all drainage and utility easements within the boundaries of Ramsey Commercial Park. A roll call vote was performed by the Deputy City Clerk. Councilmember Beahen aye Councilmember Zimmerman aye Councilmember Haas Steffen aye Councilmember Beyer aye Mayor Gamec aye Motion carried. Case#4: Request for Final Plat Approval of Rademacher Addition; Case of Rademaeher Companies, Inc. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Rademacher Companies, Inc. is requesting final plat approval to split their parcel in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of T.H. #47 and 153rd Avenue. They plan to develop a convenience store on Lot 1 and hold Outlot A for future development. The subject property is zoned a combination of B-2 Business and R-3 Urban Residential. There is a small remnant of property in the northwest comer of Outlot A that is still zoned B-1 Business. The Council introduced an ordinance to rezone this remnant to R-3 Urban Residential, however that rezoning ordinance cannot be finally adopted until the development moratorium is lifted. The Park Commission is recommending a cash payment to satisfy park dedication. The developer will also be required to continue the pedestrian path along the east side of T.H./447 along the west boundary of Lot 1. Ms. Frolik continued that with the exception of a temporary right-in only at the common boundary of Lot 1 and Outlot A, right-of-access along T.H. #47 is proposed to be dedicated to the State. The development agreement will require the developer to transfer the access rights for the temporary fight-in to the State at the time 153rd is signalized. City Engineer Jankowski stated that the outlot has to be re-subdivided before a building permit is issued. Staff told the developer we are intending an extension of Barium Street to 153rd Avenue. The temporary right-in will go away when 153rd Avenue is signalized. City Council/January 13, 1998 Page 7 of 14
