Subject:
Set Public Hearing for Vacation of Public Rights Of Way and Drainage & Utility Easements – Canterbury 6th Addition
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve Resolution No. R2018-033, a resolution setting the public hearing date to consider the vacation of a public right-of-way (Shenandoah Drive) and public drainage & utility easements for property located north of Eagle Creek Blvd., East of Shenandoah Drive extended @ Eastway Avenue, South of 4th Avenue East and West of CSAH 83 @ 12th Avenue East.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached resolution setting a public hearing date for the vacation of a public right-of-way (Shenandoah Drive) and public drainage & utility easements for property located north of Eagle Creek Blvd., East of Shenandoah Drive extended @ Eastway Avenue, South of 4th Avenue East and West of CSAH 83 @ 12th Avenue East.
Discussion:
Doran Canterbury I, LLC is proposing a development on Canterbury Park property, west of the horse track and grand stand area. There exists a public right-of-way (Shenandoah Drive, established in Canterbury Park Sixth Addition) and several public drainage and utility easements that they would like to vacate (see attached Easement Vacation Exhibits & descriptions). Additionally, they have submitted a Preliminary Plat and a Planned Unit Development Amendment for their proposed Canterbury Commons development, which will be presented to the Council at a future date. Staff supports this request, as it will result in a cleaner/easier to read Canterbury Park 7th Addition final plat.  

The attached Resolution No. R2018-033 sets a public hearing date of Tuesday, April 17, 2018 to consider the vacation of the public right of way and drainage & utility 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 the request at its April 5, 2018 meeting.
