City <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item # 6.8. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Michele McPherso~irector of Planning <br />Terry Maurer, City Engineer <br /> <br />April 15, 2002 <br /> <br />Case No. EV 02-03 <br />Request by the City of Elk River to Vacation Street Right-of- <br />Way - 179th Avenue <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />The City Council is asked to consider the vacation of public right-of-way (179th Avenue) in <br />east Elk River. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Location Map <br />Resolution No. 02- <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />The City is asked to vacate that portion of the 179th Avenue right-of-way lying east of Twin <br />Lakes Road and between Outlots A and B of Elk River Crossing. This right-of-way, if <br />vacated will become part of a land exchange with D.R. Horton to be considered later on the <br />agenda. <br /> <br />The City has reviewed and approved the preliminary and final plat of Trott Brook Farms <br />South. Due to the gas main, which runs north-south adjacent to Outlots A and B, Elk River <br />Crossing, this section of right-of-way will not be used for street construction purposes. This <br />is due to the elevation of the gas main and the fact that the easement holder, Enron, does <br />not permit grading in the area of the gas main. However, a bituminous trail connection <br />suitable for emergency vehicle access will be built at this location. An easement for this <br />purpose will need to be granted to the City. <br /> <br /> <br />
