The applicant recently <br />received preliminary and final plat approval, rezoning to PUD and a <br />conditional use permit for a transfer facility. To facilitate the development of <br />this property, the City recently sold to the Morrell's a small piece of property, <br />about 6,000 square feet, that the City acquired as part of the extension of <br />171st Avenue. <br /> <br />Prior to purchasing the 6,000 s.f. from the City, the northern boundary of <br />their property was the north line of the South 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4 of <br />Section 11. Extending along the south 32 feet of that line is an access <br />easement. It is this easement that the applicant is requesting that the City <br />vacate. Given the construction of 171st Avenue, this easement is no longer <br />necessary to provide access to this property. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
