r I --\.( ( x ~l~ River e e ITEM 6.3 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL STEVEN B. ACH, CITY PLANNE~ FROM: DATE: OCTOBER 18, 1993 SUBJECT: EASEMENT VACATION BY WEICHT AND ASSOCIATES ALONG WITH PLAISTED INVESTMENTS/P.H., CASE EV 93-04 ISSUE Vacation of drainage and utility easement along side lot lines in The Crossroads plat. LOCATION Yale Street and Highway 10 - The Crossroads plat. ATTACHMENTS Location Map, Resolution. ANALYSIS The subject property was originally platted as five individual commercial lots. All of the lots have appropriate drainage and utility easements recorded on the plat to accommodate the development of each parcel individually. Saxon Motors has recently proposed to purchase Lots 4-8, and develop all five lots as a new car dealership. The proposed site plan includes a large building and parking area that would be placed over existing drainage and utility easements. With the development of these five lots as one parcel, the interior drainage and utility easements along side property lines are no longer necessary. The only exception is the easement between Lots 4 and 5. This easement needs to remain because a storm sewer is presently in place and provides storm drainage needs for this area. The large drainage and utility easement adjacent to the Mississippi River and to the rear of all five lots will remain in place. This drainage and utility easement generally coincides with the 100-year flood elevation along with the Wild and Scenic River Management Ordinance. In addition, the twelve foot drainage and utility easement along Yale Street will also remain in place. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City drainage and utility easements and 7 and 8. Attached is easements to be vacated. Council approve the vacation of between Lots 5 and 6, 6 and 7, a resolution specifying the exact P.O.
