Subject:
PUBLIC HEARING - Vacation of Public Right-of-Way and Drainage & Utility Easements – DAVIES 2ND ADDITION
Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Resolution No. R2018-032, a resolution approving a vacation of public right of way and drainage & utility easements for property located north of U.S. Highway 169, south of Vierling Drive, and west of Eisenhower Street.
Recommendation:
Planning Commission Recommendation
On March 8, 2018, the Planning Commission by a 7-0 vote recommended approval of the vacation of public right of way and drainage & utility easements for property located north of U.S. Highway 169, south of Vierling Drive, and west of Eisenhower Street.
Discussion:
The Council shall conduct a public hearing and consider approving a vacation of public right of way and drainage & utility easements for property located north of U.S. Highway 169, south of Vierling Drive, and west of Eisenhower Street.

The City owns property located within the proposed West Shakopee Gateway First Addition, located north of U.S. Highway 169, south of Vierling Drive, and west of Eisenhower Street. There exist public rights of way (Mound Street and Kennedy Street in DAVIES 2ND ADDITION) and drainage & utility easements adjacent to those streets that we would like to vacate. Should this vacation be approved, the plat would be updated to reflect this change, prior to recording. The plan is for this area to be open space; the vacation of this property would essentially clear up outstanding plat issues – there are no plans for the City to utilize this right of way/easements for road or easement purposes.

City departments, Scott County and other outside agencies were given the opportunity to review and provide comments regarding this application. Planning staff did not receive any comments from the reviewing agencies.
