Item No. -7f2D Staff Report No. Meeting Date: May 11, 1998 Type of Business: CB WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; CA:Consent Agenda;CB:Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: James Ericson, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Second Reading and Consideration of Ordinance 615, an Ordinance Vacating a Portion of a Drainage and Utility Easement over and across Parts of Lots 2 and 3, North Star Industrial Park 2nd Addition, Planning Case 514-98. Date of Report: May 8, 1998 Background: Ordinance 615 vacates the drainage and utility easements on either side of the property line separating Lots 2 and 3 of the North Star Industrial Park 2nd Addition. This vacation is required to allow for the construction of the Bridges Technology Park Phase II expansion. All vacations of public land according to Minnesota Statutes requires a public hearing. The easement area will no longer serve a purpose and therefore should be vacated. This ordinance was first introduced by the City Council at its last regular meeting on April 27, 1997. Analysis: The City Attorney has drafted the ordinance and has ensured that it is in the proper form to accomplish such a vacation. The City's engineering technician has reviewed the legal descriptions for the easement areas to be vacated and finds them to be appropriately described. On April 27, 1998, the City Council approved Resolution No. 5228, a resolution approving the development review for the expansion of the Bridges Technology Park, which requires that the vacation be accomplished. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council move to introduce the first reading of Ordinance 615, an ordinance vacating the legally described easement area as indicated on the attached Ordinance 615. �G2.�JUllZ-d James Ericson, Planning Associate
