| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval for the vacation of a public right-of-way (Shenandoah Drive) and public drainage & utility easements for property generally 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 consistent with the Easement Vacation Exhibits and Descriptions (with the exception of the water main only easement - document no. 139654), conditioned that the applicant provide the recommended easements to the public in their proposed Canterbury Park 7th Addition final plat as required by City Engineering and SPUC.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission reviewed this request at their April 5, 2018 meeting, and by a 6-0 vote, recommended to the City Council approval of the request, as conditioned by Staff. | | |
| | | | | | | | 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 Exhibit).
City departments, Scott County and other outside agencies were given the opportunity to review and provide comments regarding this application. City Engineering and SPUC support the requests, conditioned that the City and SPUC be provided easements as necessary within the Shenandoah Drive r.o.w. proposed for vacation and that new drainage & utility easements be provided consistent with the City and SPUC requirements with the proposed Canterbury Park 7th Addition final plat. One specific comment from SPUC that should be noted is that the water main only easement (per document no. 139654, located north of Eagle Creek Blvd. in the vicinity of the to be vacated Shenandoah Drive) should not be vacated. This easement encumbers this and the adjoining property so they wish to retain it for water main purposes in perpetuity regardless if a general utilities and drainage easement overlays it. Resolution No. R2018-048 concerning the Vacation shall be recorded concurrently with the Final Plat of Canterbury Park 7th Addition.
