~~r ~~ c ~ 'ty of ~~ lk TO: River FROM: DATE: ITEM 8.9 MEMORANDUM Mayor & City Council Steven B. Ach, City Planner~j July 17, 1995 SUBJECT: Request to Vacate Street, Drainage, and Utility Easements by Elk River Development Corporation, Public Hearing Case No. EV 95-5 Issue Consider Resolution 9S- vacating street, drainage, and utility easements within a portion of Dodge Street, immediately north of Elk Hills Drive. Attachments • Resolution 95- • Location map. • Map illustrating area to be vacated. Overview In order for the proposed commercial development to proceed forward on Outlot A of Deerfield 3rd Addition, road improvements to Dodge Street and Elk Hills Drive will need to occur. The intersection design of Elk Hills Drive and Dodge Street will resemble a "T intersection", as presented by the City Engineer, Terry Maurer. This T intersection will require Dodge Street, north of Elk Hills Drive, to be shifted further to the east than its current alignment. By shifting Dodge Street further to the east, "extra" right-of--way will be left on the west side of Dodge Street. The developers of the proposed Elk River Retail Center are requesting that this portion of additional right-of--way, which lies outside of any proposed improvements to Dodge Street, be vacated and made part of the proposed plat and development plans. At this point it is not clear what portion of Dodge Street will actually be vacated since the improvement plans for Dodge Street are not completed by the City Engineers Office. Once these plans are completed the exact amount of right-of--way necessary for the proposed improvements will be determined, and the remaining right-of--way is the area that can be vacated. The attached drawing, illustrating proposed right-of--way to be vacated, is a fair representation of right-of--way expected to be vacated. S: Council\EV95-5 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
