Applicant: John Mesenbrink, Mesenbrink Construction 

Property Address: 1465 Maras Street

Property Owner: Maras Street LLC

John Mesenbrink, representing Maras Street LLC, property owner, has applied for a vacation of certain public drainage and utility easements on the two parcels located at 1465 Maras Street. 

 

The applicant has proposed to vacate certain easements on the site and combine the two parcels with a preliminary and final plat that will be reviewed by the Planning Commission at this meeting.

 

As part of the preliminary / final plat process the applicant is proposing to dedicate the necessary easements for both the existing and future development of a 12,000 square-foot building and paved storage area. The proposed plans work to fix the existing drainage issues in this area and meet current stormwater requirements. Shakopee Public Utilities has commented that although this vacation does not impact water or electric services, an additional easement dedicated to Shakopee Public Utilities will be necessary for electric service for the new building.
