TO: Mayor and City Council ~ ~
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Mark Noble, Planner II
SUBJECT: Set Public Hearing for Vacation of Easements within Evergreen
Heights
MEETING DATE: May 5, 2008
INTRODUCTION
Gregory McClenahan, on behalf of Evergreen Heights Townhomes Limited Partnership, has
requested a vacation of easement for property located on Lot 2, Block 1, Evergreen Heights,
adjacent to Balsam Trail. There presently is a 10 foot drainage and utility easement around
the perimeter of this lot, and the property owner is requesting the vacation of that portion of
easement along the southwesterly portion of property to allow for the construction of a
maintenance building. Evergreen Heights Townhomes Limited Partnership has submitted
an application for preliminary and final plat to combine a triangular shaped parcel they
acquired from MNDOT with property in Evergreen Heights 1St Addition; thereby negating
the need for that portion of the existing easement. The applicant has worked with City staff
and Shakopee Public Utilities Commission (SPUC) on the proposed easements submitted
with the plat application of proposed Evergreen Heights 2°d Addition.
DISCUSSION
The attached resolution sets a public hearing for Tuesday, June 3, 2008. On that date,
comments from staff members and utilities, as well as a recommendation from the Planning
Commission, will be presented to the City Council for consideration. The Planning
Commission will consider the request at its May 8, 2008 meeting.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve Resolution No. 6774, a resolution setting the public hearing date to consider the
vacation of a portion of drainage and utility easement on Lot 2, Block 1, Evergreen Heights.
