COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 24, 2002 City Engineer Studenski indicated the City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 04-02 at their June 10, 2002 meeting. City Engineer Studenski stated the Molin Concrete parcel is located in the northeast corner of Lilac Street and Fourth Avenue. The Easement Exhibit map shows both sets of easements on it. The new Surface Water Management Plan either overlapped the previous easements or it eliminated the need for them. Therefore, the previous easements (Easements Document #1404034) can be eliminated because the necessary areas are covered with the new easements. City Engineer Studenski stated, through this process, it was noted that an easement the City previously acquired along Fourth Avenue on the Molin Concrete parcel was not shown to be of record. The City is in the process of determining if the easement was recorded at Anoka County. Approval of the proposed easement vacations will be contingent on confirmation that the City does have the necessary easement along Fourth Avenue on the Mol • ncrete parcel. City Engineer Studenski indicated the following options for the cil regarding this Ordinance: 1. Approve the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 0ating Public Drainage and Utility Easements, Molin Concrete. 2. Return to City staff with direction. 3. Deny the vacation request. City Engineer Studenski verbally added a fo •ption to continue the Second Reading of Ordinance • No. 04-02 to allow City staff additional ti c •' rm that the City does have the necessary easement along Fourth Avenue on the • crete parcel. • City Engineer Studenski advised C ends the continuance of the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 04-02. City Attorney Hawkins antici Pv fic •`' ion of the necessary easements within the next two weeks. Mayor Bergeson questioned wh-z er continuing the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 04-02 to the next regular City Council meeting would allow City staff enough time to verify the recording of the easements. City Attorney Hawkins anticipated this would be a sufficient amount of time and he would inform City staff if this proves to not be the case. Councilmember Carlson moved to continue the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 04-02, Vacating Public Drainage and Utility Easements, Molin Concrete, based on the recommendation of City Attorney Hawkins this evening and during the June 10, 2002 City Council meeting that the City Council not approve the Second Reading if the easement situation has not yet been clarified.
