Shakopee Planning Commission Meeting
April 6, 2017


FROM: Mark Noble, Senior Planner 
TO:Planning Commission
Subject:
Annexation of Property – Hwy. 169 & Hwy. 69 Public Right-of-Way, and City Property Southwest of Town Square Mall
Policy/Action Requested:
Offer and pass a motion recommending approval of the annexation request as recommended by staff.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval for this request to the City Council, as it is generally consistent with the OAA regulations which govern this type of request.
Discussion:
The City of Shakopee has submitted an application for annexation portions of State Highway 169 & County Road 69 right-of-way, and a City owned parcel just south and west of 1212 Shakopee Town Square Mall. The property is approx. 98 acres, with the majority of the acreage being public right-of-way, with a small city owned parcel (see attached site maps).

Per the existing Orderly Annexation Agreement (OAA) between the City and Jackson Township, Sections II.3 & II.7 allows for the city annexation because the property proposed in this request is either undeveloped or owned by the City, and more than 50% of it is adjacent to and surrounded by the City.
