Discussion:
Woolpert, Inc., applicant and representative of J & J Minneapolis, LLC (property owner), have requested vacation of public drainage and utility easements located within the OPUS MVW plat, which would allow for a more viable lot for new construction. Presently, the SanMar building is located on this property but they have recently replatted the property to allow for a new buildable lot to the east, north of Unbridled Avenue and west of Canterbury Road (as part of the J & J Minneapolis plat). A condition of that plat approval was for this vacation to occur, with new easements to be dedicated within the J & J Minneapolis plat.

The attached Resolution R2023-115 sets a public hearing date of Tuesday, October 17, 2023, to consider the vacation of these public easements. 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. The Planning Commission will consider this request at their October 5, 2023 meeting.
