Shakopee Planning Commission Meeting
December 8, 2022
|
| | | | | | | | | FROM: | Mark Noble, Senior Planner | | TO: | Planning Commission |
|
| | | | | | | | Subject:
Vacation of Public Right-Of-Way within Glacier Estates |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Recommend adoption of Resolution R2022-155 regarding the vacation of certain public right-of-way (segment adjacent to Moraine Drive) as dedicated within Glacier Estates. |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Planning Staff recommend the Planning Commission forward a recommendation approving the requested vacation. |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
Scott County CDA has proposed development of land owned by Scott County adjacent to Glacier Estates (Moraine Addition). There is a small triangular shaped parcel of public right of way that was originally dedicated with Glacier Estates, to be used in combination with additional future right-of-way on the Scott County parcel as a second (emergency) access to this residential area. At this time, Scott County CDA is proposing a development of that property and the City suggested vacating this small segment to better realign the potential lots between Glacier Estates and Moraine Addition, along with better positioning the second (emergency) access for these two (2) subdivisions.
City departments and other outside agencies were given the opportunity to review and provide comments regarding this application. City Engineering & Planning staff support the request, provided that a title search is conducted to confirm other interest from utility holders in any existing/underlying easements on the property, vacation of right-of-way shall not impact the existing Emergency Access/Trail Easement that encompasses a portion of the area to be vacated, and dedicate Emergency Access/Trail Easement over the portion of trail currently located in the public right-of-way being vacated.
The attached draft Resolution provides conditions of approval of the requested action. The City Council will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, December 20, 2022 to consider the vacation of the public right-of-way. 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.
