COMMUNITY PRIDE 1953 - 2003 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 551174 600 (651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766-4048 www.ci.little-canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council FROM: Greg Schroeder, Public Works Director DATE: March 25, 2003 RE: Vacation of First Bank Drive MAYOR Michael I. Fahey COUNCIL Jim LaValh Matt Anderson Rick Montour Bill Blesener ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson It is my understanding that First Bank Drive between Middle Street and Market Place Drive is to be vacated to aid in our redevelopment efforts of this area. A review of our city files indicates that there are no City of Little Canada sanitary sewer or water lines in this section of First Bank Drive. However, as shown on the attached sketch we do have a storm sewer line that runs along the south curb line of the existing street that drains storm water from the Middle Street/First Bank Drive intersection. In addition there is a private storm sewer line that crosses First Bank Drive about half way between Middle Street and Market Place Drive that drains the Market Place Center parking lot. As part of the Market Place Drive Reconstruction Project we are going to construct a storm water pond on the east half of First Bank Drive and the parking lot to the north. A review of the Market Place Drive Construction drawings indicates that as a result of the construction of the storm water pond we will remove the private storm sewer line that crosses under First Bank Drive (that drains the existing Market Place Center parking lot) and capture the storm water further north as part of the Market Place Drive /Storm Water Pond storm sewer system. The pond construction will also result in the removal of the existing stoup sewer that runs along the south curb line from the halfway point east to Market Place Drive. Based on the above and as shown on the attached sketch, we will have approximately 260 LF of storm sewer line in the western half of First Bank Drive that will remain after vacation of this street. A utility and drainage easement is needed over this section of storm sewer line to enable the City of Little Canada to maintain this storm sewer line. This storm sewer is located approximately 7.5 feet north of the First Bank Drive south right -of -way line. Therefore, a 15 -foot wide utility and drainage easement should be established running parallel to the south right -of -way line over the section of First Bank Drive to be vacated.
