1 <br />1 <br />I <br />TO;Planning Commission and Council <br />FROM:Alan P. Olson, Village Planner <br />DATE:November 16, 1978 <br />SUBJECT: #444 - Road Vacation <br />Hennepin County Park Reserve District - Big Island <br />This application is made to vacate all of the public roads in an <br />area of the west island which is now owned by the Park Reserve. <br />The area is platted into ten (10) separated lots which are divided <br />by the subject roads. The Park Reserve's intentions are to have <br />the roads vacated to permit combination of the lots into one <br />buildable/saleable loti <br />In the past, Orono has declined to vacate any public property on <br />the island pursuant to Resolution #446 calling for eventual public <br />ownership. This application appears to be contrary to this intent <br />with the Park District actvially divesting itself of land. Their <br />intention appears to be a land trade between this parcel and another <br />unidentified parcel on the west island. Perhaps a "trade" of access <br />should be considered to justify any vacation.I <br />As to the buildability of this "lot" after vacation, there is a <br />small area of wetlands along the inlet but the remaining area would <br />exceed two acres. Septic testing would be required prior to any <br />building permit application.
