1 <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 6A <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Diane Hankee, City Engineer <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: February 12, 2018 <br /> <br />TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider 1st Reading of Ordinance No. <br />02-18, Vacating Drainage & Utility Easement, Lot 15, Block 2, <br />NorthPointe 2nd Addition <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 4/5 <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />Staff is requesting City Council consideration of the 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 02-18, <br />vacating Drainage and Utility easement, Lot 15, Block 2, Northpointe 2nd Addition. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />6743 Palm Street is a residential parcel located on the north side of Palm Street. 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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />The second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for February 26, 2018. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <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.
