Narrative:

Bryce Huemoeller of Huemoeller, Gontarek & Cheskis, PLC on behalf of the property owner, Brambilla Family Limited Liability Limited Partnership No. 1, is requesting a vacation of a sanitary sewer easement on property at 550 Valley Park Drive. The easement is 35 feet wide and runs west to east parallel to the north property line on this 10.13 acre parcel.

The easement was established by Quit Claim Deed dated August 10, 1973, filed August 22, 1973 as document T11939, in favor of The Metropolitan Sewer District Board. The easement was transferred initially to the Metropolitan Council and subsequently to the City of Shakopee by Agreement, dated January 11, 2007, as amended by Agreement, dated May 25, 2012.

Per the applicant, allowing the subject easement to remain constitutes a title defect which is required to be completed to finalize a pending sale of the property since the sewer easement is no longer needed since the sewer has been relocated. The existing stormwater easement, per Engineering's recommendation, will remain.

City Staff and other outside agencies have reviewed the request. Engineering has provided a memo with conditions of approval, should the City Council support the request. The applicant has provided a title search dated December 27, 2024 confirming no other interest from utility holders in any existing/underlying easements on the property. The Metropolitan Council has no objections to the vacation. Shakopee Public Utilities (SPU) reviewed and commented that the request has no impact on SPU electric or water.
