| | | | | | | | | FROM: | Mark Noble, Senior Planner | | TO: | Shakopee Planning Commission |
|
| | | | | | | | Subject:
Vacation of Public Road Easement – SMSC land adjacent to Eaglewood Drive |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) is requesting that the Planning Commission forward to the City Council a recommendation approving their application for vacation of public road easement for property located north of CR 72, west of Marschall Road and south of Eaglewood Drive. |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval, conditioned on language regarding assurances that there will be a new roadway easement dedicated from Eaglewood Drive to CR 72 will be provided, generally consistent with the document provided by the applicant. |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The SMSC own property located north of CR 72, west of Marschall Road and south of Eaglewood Drive. An easement was granted to the City in 1977 pursuant to Document No. 157910 for a road, which was never constructed. There are no plans for this road to be constructed, nor support from the County to provide access to Marschall Road/CR 17 in that location; therefore, they have asked that this easement be vacated. City staff support this vacation, with a condition that a new roadway easement from Eaglewood Drive to 160th Street/CR 72 be dedicated.
City departments, Scott County and other outside agencies were given the opportunity to review and provide comments regarding this application. Planning staff have received comments from City Engineering and Scott County that language regarding assurances that there will be a new roadway easement dedicated from Eaglewood Drive to CR 72 will be provided, generally consistent with the document provided by the applicant.
This project has a public hearing set for Tuesday, April 18, 2017 with the City Council. 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.
