Shakopee Planning Commission Meeting
August 9, 2018


FROM: Mark Noble, Senior Planner 
TO:Planning Commission
Subject:
Vacation of Easement - 1325 Meadow Court
Policy/Action Requested:
Offer and pass a motion recommending approval of the vacation as recommended by staff.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval for the vacation of the 25 foot wide public easement for property located at 1325 Meadow Ct. (northwest corner of Meadow Ct. & Jennifer Lane).
Discussion:
Eternity Homes, LLC own property located at 1325 Meadow Ct. (Lot 10, Block 1, Prairie Meadows), and would like to construct a home consistent with the zoning setbacks established for this parcel (30 foot setback off Meadow Ct. & a 20 foot setback off the Jennifer Lane property line). There exist two easements along the east line of that lot adjacent to Jennifer Lane; a 10 foot drainage & utility easement dedicated with the Prairie Meadows plat, and an underlying 25 foot easement from when Jennifer Lane was first established. The City and SPUC concur that the 25 foot easement is no longer necessary, so there is support for this vacation request. The 10 foot easement will remain.

A public hearing has been set for Tuesday, August 21, 2018. On that date, comments from staff members and utilities, as well as a recommendation from the Planning Commission, will be presented to the City Council for consideration.
