Memorandum
INTRODUCTION
The City of Shakopee has submitted an application for vacation of Public Right -of -Way of a portion
of Clay Street north of County Road 69 (1st Avenue) as identified in Exhibit A.
The existing right -of -way is located adjacent to the Shakopee Trading Post. This right -of -way is
proposed for vacation as a part of the upcoming road improvement project for County Road 69.
Should the vacation be approved, the subject property would be utilized by the Shakopee Trading
Post for off - street parking and Clay Street would be reconfigured as a part of the road project.
Please see Exhibit B for plan submitted by Scott County.
DISCUSSION
On November 1, 2011, the City Council adopted a resolution setting December 20, 2011 as the
public hearing date for this vacation request. Two weeks published public notice is required
prior to conducting the public hearing. The notice of public hearing has been published in the
Shakopee Valley News, however, only 12 days notice has been provided, rather than the 14 days
required. Therefore, staff is requesting that the public hearing be opened and continued to the
January 3, 2012 meeting in order to provide adequate public notice. This will allow for
sufficient published public notice and the Council would then be able to review and potentially
take action on this item at that meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the public hearing be opened and continued to the January 3, 2012
meeting.
ACTION REQUESTED
Open the public hearing and continue it to the January 3, 2 2 meeting.
