Agenda Item:
Resolution approving the vacation of a 10-foot easement located between Lots 1 and 2 and 2 and 3, Block 1, St. Andrews Commercial Centre. The subject property is described as Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1, St. Andrews Commercial Centre (301 St. Andrew’s Drive); by request of Joe Frederick Sr. of Big Joe, LLC.
Recommendation/Action(s):
At the July 27, 2022, meeting, the Planning Commission recommended adoption of the resolution approving the vacation.
Summary:
Big Joe LLC, is requesting the vacation of two utility easements described as, the 10.00 foot wide utility easement located between Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, St. Andrews Commercial Centre, EXCEPTING therefrom the northerly 5.00 feet and the southerly 10.00 feet of said Lots 1 and 2 and, the 10.00 foot wide utility easement located between Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, St. Andrews Commercial Centre, EXCEPTING therefrom the northerly 5.00 feet and the southerly 10.00 feet of said Lots 2 and 3.
The applicant owns the three contiguous parcels. In anticipation of doing a simple lot split on the parcels, the applicant is requesting to vacate the utility easements so there are not easements left-over from the platting process. The applicant does not have a specific time for when the lot will be split or what dimensions the lots will have after splitting.
The design standards of the Mankato City Code require utility easements centered on interior property lines. A recommendation for approval cannot be made that would allow non-compliance with the design standards. If the lot is split, new utility easements shall be dedicated in accordance with the subdivision design standards.
