CR2013-017 Vacate Utility Easement - Gallery Flats-Of6aFebruary 15, 2013 Council Report 13-17
VACATE UTILITY EASEMENT — GALLERY FLATS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to adopt Resolution 13-10, approving
Ordinance 13-1060, approving the vacation of a utilily easement on the east side of 31 Ninth
Avenue South for first reading.
Overview
Last August the City Council approved a site plan to construct a 163 -unit apartment complex
at 815 First Street South and 31 Ninth Avenue South. The property was also replatted into
one lot. When the plat was reviewed by Hennepin County, the County noted that a utility
easement remained. The plat was filed in December with the easement remaining. In order
for the development to proceed, the utility easement needs to be removed.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan
designated the subject site?
• Is the street needed for a public purpose?
• What is the staff recommendation for the vacation?
• What were the responses from the utility companies regarding the vacation?

Primary Issues to Consider.

designated the subject site?
The zoning of the property is Mixed Use with an overlay zoning of Planned Unit
Development. The Comprehensive Plan designation is Mixed Use.
• Is the street needed for a public purpose?
The public works department reviewed the proposed vacation and determined that there are
no utilities in the easement.
• What is the staff recommendation for the vacation?
Staff is recommending approval of the vacation.
• What were the responses from the utility companies regarding the vacation?
The utility companies were notified and none had an objection to the vacation of the
easement.
Alternatives.
1. Approve the vacation of the easements. By approving the vacation, the applicant will be
able to construct the development as proposed.
2. Deny the vacation of the easements. By denying the vacation, the applicant will not be
able to construct the development as proposed. If the City Council 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.
