CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
CASE NO.: 06-088
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Kyle Sobota, Planner I
RE: Vacation of a 15-foot portion of a 20-foot drainage and utility easement at 590
Citation Drive
DATE: December 19, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Consulting Management Construction, Inc, representing McCarthy Well Company has filed an application
requesting the vacation of a · 15-foot portion of a 20-foot drainage and utility easement. The applicant is
requesting the vacation to allow the placement of a 2nd building 5-feetfrom the rear property line. A
conditional use permit application and building materials variance has been filed with the City and approval
of this vacation request would be required in order for the conditional use permit and building materials
variance to continue as proposed.
The Planning Commission considered the recommendation of the request at its December 7,2006 meeting,
and by a 3-2 vote the planning commission recommended denial of the request. The applicant and two
commissioners offered that since two-previous vacation requests on adjacent parcels had been approved in
2001, this request is reasonable. Planning staffs position is that a second building could be located in a
different area on the site without being located in the drainage and utility easement.
Engineering staff have recommended denial of the request based on drainage issues in this area and that
vacating a substantial portion of the easement would further hinder the City's ability to extend utilities in the
future and limit the ability for equipment to work in the area to improve drainage issues in the future.
The Public Works Director has visited the site and strongly recommends denial.ofthe vacation request
because of site specific issues in regard to elevations and approving the request would limit the ability of
equipment to operate in the area because the proposed building would be in close proximity to the railroad
tracks.
A copy of the staff report to the Planning Commission, which includes a resolution denying the request, is
attached for the Council's reference.
AL TERNA TIVES
1. Approve Resolution No. 6550, a resolution of the City of Shakopee denying the request for vacation
of a 15- foot portion of a 20-foot drainage and utility easement.
2. Continue the public hearing.
3. Direct staff to prepare a resolution approving the vacation request.
4. Close the public hearing and table the request to allow staff or the applicant time to provide
additional information.

Narrative for
Application for Vacation of Easement
October 23, 2006
TMKP Properties, Inc. is the owner of the property at 590 Citation Drive in Shakopee. In
1998 they constructed a 9,200 square foot facility to accommodate the McCarthy Well
Company. McCarthy Well has been a family owned business since it was founded in 1860
and is the nation's oldest company of its type.
The aerial photograph below represents the existing conditions and use of the site.

Request fot Vacation of Easement
The Owner of the property plans to construct a new 16,800 sq. ft. multi-tenant office/warehouse
building near the south end of the site. The proposed building would be located five feet from the
railroad right-of-way. Even though the City zoning requirement for side and rear yard setback from a
railroad right-of-way in theHeavy Industrial (I-2) zone is 0 feet, there is an existing 20-foot drainage
and utility easement along the south property line. Therefore, the owner is requesting a vacation oflS
feet of the existing 20-foot easement along the south. (rear) property line that abuts. the railroad right:-
of-way~
Theadjacent building to the east was grartted a is-foot vacation of easement in 2001 to allow
construction of an addition within five feet of the railroad right-of-way. The adjacent building to the
south, across the railroad right-of-way, is built within five feet of the railroad right-of-way.
Though the city engineering department in the past has identified drainage problems along the railroad
tracks, this property drains to the north - away from the railroad right-of-way. This drainage pattern
would be maintained with the proposed new building. Also, the railroad bed along this property is
stable and shows go signs of erosion. The photograph below shows the existing railroad bed along the
south property line of this property.

Memorandum
TO: Kyle Sobota, Planner I
FROM: Joe Swentek, ProjectEngineer
SUBJECT: Vacation ofFifteen(15) Feet of Twenty (2 eet of Drainage and Utility
Easement to Accommodate a Proposed Building
PID NO.: 27-144005-0
CASE NO.: 06088
DATE: November 9,2006
The application indicates a request to vacate a portion of. an existing drainage and utility
easement along the southernmost property line of the above referenced property. The vacation
request is to accommodate a proposed building.
Recommendation:
After reviewing the above referenced application, the engineering department has determined the
vacation of the existing drainage and utility easement and the future construction of a building
within five (5) feet of the property line may negatively impact existing drainage .pattems and the
potential for future utility installation.
Therefore, the engineering department recommends denial of the vacation request.
