The <br />property line has a jog and angles approximately 15 feet south into the applicant’s property. The <br />easement was originally established for an overhead powerline that is no longer in place. <br /> <br />Elk River Municipal Utilities has no concerns with vacating five feet of the easement as the overhead <br />lines have been removed. The engineering department also has no concerns as the area is not serving as a <br />swale for the drainage of the property to the east. There is no need for the easement as it relates to <br />Freson Park. <br /> <br />Staff has no concerns with the easement vacation as it no longer serves a public purpose and <br />recommends vacation. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Location Map <br /> Narrative received May 15, 2018 <br /> Survey dated May 22, 1990 <br /> Site Plan <br /> Resolution <br /> <br />
