Cal Haasken, representing Harland Hohenstein, has applied to vacate certain drainage and utility easements within Maple Trail Estates First and Second Additions. The proposed legal descriptions are as follows:

• All of the drainage and utility easements in Outlot A as dedicated in Maple Trail Estates 1^st Addition, Scott County, Minnesota.
• All of the drainage and utility easements in Lot 1, Block 1, and Outlot A as dedicated in Maple Trail Estates 2^nd Addition, Scott County, Minnesota.
• The drainage and utility easement and ponding easement granted in Document No. 63798, Scott County, Minnesota.

The City Council recently approved Maple Trail Estates Fourth Addition, which adjusts the lot lines of Mr. Hohenstein's lot and created two lots for the construction of two single family houses. The proposed plat of the 4th addition dedicates new easements in similar locations to the ponding easements and dedicates easements adjacent to the revised lot lines of Mr. Hohenstein's lot, as well as the two lots created by the 4th Addition.

The Engineering Department and utility companies have reviewed the request and recommend approval of the request, subject to conditions. Specifically, the applicant will be required dedicate the proper easements on the final plat prior to recording, and the necessary easements for electric service will be required by Shakopee Public Utilities. The applicant has proposed to dedicate the proper easements, so staff is recommending approval of the request. If approved, the applicant intends to record the plat immediately.
