• • AGENDA ITEM 8C STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 14, 2000 TOPIC: FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 13 -00, Vacating the Elmcrest Avenue right -of -way from 400 feet south of Main Street to Cedar Street. VOTE REQUIRED: 4/5 VOTE REQUIRED BACKGROUND: The developer of the Wenzel Farm project in the City of Hugo has requested the vacation of the City of Lino Lakes' portion of the Elmcrest Avenue right -of -way. This roadway is also known as 24th Avenue and Tart Lake Road. The purpose of the vacation is to allow the developer to incorporate this area into their landscaping and trail plan and provide a buffer between the residential development in Hugo and the commercial development in Lino Lakes. The only access of concern to Lino Lakes in the proposed vacation area is the Construction Laborer's Training Facility driveway. For this reason, the vacation begins 400 feet south of Main Street, and south of the driveway. City staff has determined that the use of this area for a roadway is not needed for public purposes, however, we do need to retain a drainage and utility easement over the vacated area. Section 12.05 of the City Charter requires that real property of the City cannot be disposed of except by Ordinance. The Ordinance will require two readings, publication, and a waiting period before it is in effect. The publication will not occur until the replacement north /south roadway has been constructed in Hugo. OPTIONS: 1. Approve the First Reading of Ordinance No. 13 -00. 2. Return to staff for further consideration. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Option 1.
