• Drainage and Utility Easement The drainage and utility easement which is located to the rear of the parcel is part of a large wetland area which encompasses several portions of neighboring parcels. When the M-Vale Subdivision was platted in 1986, the developer blocked off large sections of area for drainage and utility purposes. Some of the fringe area blocked off for drainage and utility purpose is not classified as wetland and does not need to be included as drainage and utility easement. The particular area proposed to be vacated is part of the applicants yard which he currently mows and maintains. It is not considered wetland or low land and is clearly an up land area. Therefore, it should not jeopardize the wetland area to the rear of the parcel. City Engineer Terry Maurer has been notified of this request and does not see a problem with vacating the proposed area. County Ditch 28 A section of County Ditch 28 bisects the Nelson's property. A 45 foot drainage and utility easement protects the ditch and should be sufficient to allow future upgrades to the ditch system. Sherburne County has been notified of this request and does not have a problem with the 45 foot • easement over the ditch. There is an existing crossing of the ditch to the area to be vacated. Therefore, no filling will be required for this project and the applicant will have access to the vacated area. Proposed Gara~'e If the easement vacation is approved, the applicant is proposing to construct a 12 foot by 16 foot shed on the vacated area. The 192 square foot accessory building will meet all setback and maximum square foot requirements. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council approve the vacation of the drainage and utility easement as indicated in the attached resolution which specifies the easement area to be vacated. council:ev95-9 r ~ ~ J
