This vacation is required <br /> to allow for the construction of the Bridges Technology Park Phase II expansion. All vacations <br /> of public land according to Minnesota Statutes requires a public hearing. The easement area will <br /> no longer serve a purpose and therefore should be vacated. <br /> Analysis: <br /> The City Attorney has drafted the ordinance and has ensured that it is in the proper form to <br /> accomplish such a vacation. The City's engineering technician has reviewed the legal descriptions <br /> for the easement areas to be vacated and finds them to be appropriately described. <br /> This vacation shall be done in conjunction with the development review for the Bridges <br /> Technology Park Phase II expansion. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council move to introduce the first reading of Ordinance 615, an <br /> ordinance vacating the legally described easement area as indicated on the attached Ordinance <br /> 615. <br /> James Ericson, Planning Associate <br />
