Introduce Ordinance to Vacate Drainage and Utility Easements and Right of Way for Sunwood Drive Within the COR TWO Subdivision located East of Armstrong Boulevard and South of Bunker Lake Boulevard; Case of the City of Ramsey Housing and Redevelopment Authority

A contingency of approval of the COR TWO plat included vacating certain existing drainage and utility easements, as well as a portion of right of way for Sunwood Drive. The areas to be vacated are indicated on the Preliminary Plat sheets. The request has been reviewed as part of the Preliminary and Final Plat review of COR TWO, and Staff finds the request consistent with said review, contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated July 27, 2012, revised August 9, 2012.

In accordance with Minnesota Statute and City Code, Staff attempted to notify all Property Owners within 700 feet of the Preliminary Plat Public Hearing via Standard US Mail, which noted the areas requested to be vacated. City Code requires that all Property Owners within 350 feet of the Property be notified.

Easements are being vacated due to the realignment of Sunwood Drive. Proper easements based on the new alignment of Sunwood Drive will be dedicated on the COR TWO plat.

Staff recommends approval of the ordinance vacating certain drainage and utility easements and right of way for Sunwood Drive within the COR TWO plat.

Review of the case is being handled as part of regular Staff duties.

Motion to introduce an ordinance vacating certain drainage and utility easements and right of way for Sunwood Drive within the COR TWO plat.
