Land Use Application to Vacate — 2550 Hwy 88. 28 29 Mayor Stille opened the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. 30 31 City Planner Grittman reviewed the applicants are seeking vacation of an Easement Agreement 32 originally held by the HRA, but since assigned to the City of St. Anthony Village. He indicated 33 the location on a map. The cross -hatched area subject to vacation request. The yellow highlight 34 area requested by Engineering to be retained for existing drainage and utility needs. The 35 easement encumbers the northwest area of the Hannays' commercial property at 2550 Highway 36 88. The easement was granted in 1999, with the purpose of facilitating the creation of an open 37 space and other public improvements as a part of a larger redevelopment plan. Those plans have 38 not resulted in a project to date. The applicants are hoping to have that easement released, with 39 the intention that they enclose the space with screening fence and utilize it for temporary boat 40 storage and staging for vessels they have in for service. 41 42 There are a number of issues raised by the request. First is the entitlement issue related to the 43 easement itself; second is the existence of other utilities and utility easements overlapping a 44 portion of the same area; and third, a land use issue related to the use of the property once and if 45 the easement is removed. 46
