Resolution approving the annexation of 210 North Augusta Court and petition for extension of services to the property; by request of Rob Paulsen.

Adoption of the attached resolution.

The applicant, Rob Paulsen, is petitioning for the property to be annexed into the City of Mankato. The subject property is located within Mankato Township but is contiguous to the City boundary and subject to the 2014 Orderly Annexation Agreement. The City’s 2022 Land Use Plan designates the property for low-density residential, which is consistent with the proposed development. Annexation of approximately 2.39 acres is necessary to allow the owners of the subject property to connect to and utilize City services. 

There are currently two individuals residing on the subject property, the owners of said property. 

As the subject property is currently located within Mankato Township and has its own private well & septic system, once annexed, the applicant will need to hire a licensed contractor and receive the necessary permits to connect to City services. At this time, the applicant will also be required to coordinate with Blue Earth County to abandon their private septic system and cap/abandon the private well, per County standards. 

Mankato Township will review the item at the May 20, 2026, meeting.
