Zoning File #1653 <br />July 3, 1991 <br />Page 3 <br />Additional Exhibit - <br />H - Staff's Sketch <br />Additional rfrntn and Planning Connlssion Reconmendation - <br />The applicant questioned staff's recommendation to obtain <br />drainage and utility easements over the vacated alley in addition <br />to the request for a potential bike trail easement. The <br />applicant noted the location of an extensive wetland to the <br />iaunediate west that would require extensive filling if such a <br />trail were to be constructed. <br />As of this writing, the Park Commission has not met to <br />review the proposed vacation application. Staff will present <br />their findings at your July 0th meeting. <br />The City Engineer and staff met out on the site and <br />concurred that if water lines were to b* extended to serve the <br />area along Cherry Avenue that the east/west route would be Cherry <br />Avenue as opposed to the 14' alley. The City Engineer has <br />recommended that 10' drainage and utility easements be granted <br />along the newly defined south lot line (Exhibit H) and along the <br />east side of the property to provide for a loop system for the <br />water lines. By relocating the drainage and utility easements to <br />0OUth lot line of the property, we would eliminate any additional <br />restrictions on building envelope. <br />Staff has drafted the vacation resolution incorporating the <br />necessary findings from the staff memo on Page 2. The City <br />Engineer's recommendation has been incorporated in the resolution <br />as a condition of approval. The resolution may be further <br />amended upon the final action of the Park Commission concerning <br />the need for a bike trail easement.
