The property <br /> owners, Mike and Shelby Piette, have submitted a land use application requesting the vacation, <br /> of a portion, of a drainage easement on the property. <br /> The drainage and utility easement was dedicated to the City of Lino Lakes in 2014 with the <br /> NorthPointe 2nd Addition plat. The easement overlaps an existing Northern States Power Co. <br /> (Xcel Energy) gas and electric easement located on the property. The current owners, Mike and <br /> Shelby Piette, would like to construct a deck on the rear of their home into the easement area. <br /> The applicant is requesting that a portion of the drainage easement be vacated to allow for the <br /> construction of a deck. <br /> Xcel Energy has issued a Consent to Improvements approving alterations of the gas and electric <br /> easements for the proposed deck, enclosed. The Drainage and Utility easement was placed <br /> over the Xcel Energy easement, and thus vacating with the consent of Xcel Energy, is not an <br /> encumbrance to the City. The proposed deck does not impact City utilities or drainage. <br /> The Drainage and Utility Easement Vacation Description Sketch prepared by Carlson McCain <br /> on December 14, 2017 detailing the proposed drainage and utility area to be vacated and the <br /> proposed location of the deck is enclosed. <br /> The second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for February 26, 2018. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff is recommending approval of the 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 02-18 Vacating Drainage <br /> &Utility Easements, Lot 15, Block 2,NorthPointe 2nd Addition. <br /> 1 <br />
