Primarv Issues to Consider.
o Are the alleys needed for the public?
The Public Works department has reviewed the proposed vacation and determined the alleys
are not needed for the public use. However, the Public Works department is concerned about
plowing the remaining east-west alley. They are recommending that a condition is added that
the applicant provide an easement so that the City vehicles can continue on the applicant's
property when plowing. If this easement is not granted, in reality there will be a dead end for
the snow plows, with no cul-de-sac. The City is looking into the possibility of vacating the
remaining east-west alley in the future.
o Are there utilities in the alleys?
There are utilities located in the alleys. The applicant will be required to grant the City and
utility companies' easements for the utilities. The utility companies have been notified of the
proposed vacation. As of the date of the report the City has received a response Minnegasco
and NSP have responded to the notification regarding the vacation. NSP is requiring an
easement for overhead lines.
o What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the proposed alley vacation. Roman Roos, representing the
applicant, appeared before the Commission. The Commission asked were the lot line
separating the two lots will be. Mr. Roos stated the lot line separating the two lots is down
the center of the alley.
Alternatives.
1. Approve the alley vacation. By approving the alley vacation, the alleys will be vacated for
the proposed development.
2. Deny the alley vacation. By denying the alley vacation, the alleys will not be vacated for
the proposed development. If the Planning Commission considers this alternative, findings
will have to be identified that support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
