AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: DJR Approved By DJR 1. Purpose. The purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing to consider vacation of an existing Stormwater Management Easement which is being replaced with identical easement in a new location. 2. Background. With the platting of the Ivy Place subdivision in 2018, the developer was required to manage stormwater generated from the hard surfaces of the two lots. The developer elected to manage the stormwater via an underground detention tanks to be installed at the time of home construction of each lot. This method was accepted by both the city and the watershed district; to preserve the future tank sites, an easement was required to be recorded over the property. The desired house for lot 1 encroaches into the easement location, necessitating an adjustment to the easement. Construction of private improvements over or otherwise impeding an easement introduces potential long term and costly challenges with maintenance and replacement activities, therefore, the property owner proposes to vacate the existing easement, to be replaced with a new easement in a slightly different location. Staff supports the adjustment. 3. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval as drafted. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Staff recommends the Council open a public hearing to receive any public comment and approve the easement vacation. Exhibits A. Resolution B. Existing easement location C.
