Bracken, 1770 West Farm Road - Vacation of Drainage s Utility Easement - Public Hearing Pertinent Section of the Code - Section 10.12 List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Property Owners List Exhibit C - Plat Map Exhibit D - Lot Line Rearrangement of Lot 16 Exhibit E - Bracken Property - Easement to be Vacated Exhibit F - Survey With Building Permit Exhibit G - Staff Letter Background on Current Application: On December 10, 1984, the City approved a lot line rearrangement of Lot 16, the Yam at Long Lake, that divided the lot into three parcels for combination with three adjacent properties (see Exhibit D). The Bracken propert , Lot 17, combined with Parcel A (north 104.72' of Lot 16) was issued a building permit per survey submitted with application (Exhibit F). The house was obviously placed over a portion of the existing drainage and utility easments located along the shared lot lines of Lets 16 and 17. Bracken had difficulty getting a mortgage because the title company refused to give clear title with the new house placed over an easement. Staff sent a letter to the title company advising that this specific section of the drainage and utility easement serves no public purpose in its present location and that the City wou d consider vacation (Exhibit G). Mr. Bracken has pe,.Lioned to vacate the 10 feet wide drainage and utility easement located adjacent �n the shared lot 1'ne of Lots 16 and 17 (Exhibit E). The City will consider the need to vacate easements *.,henever the City is asked to approve lot line rearrangements in the future. Consider the problems with the Van Eeckhout lot line rearrangement application. The replet subdivision of Paul Boyke, for tonight's review, will also require the concurrent vacation of platted easements no longer functionsi in relation to newly proposed lot lines. The Lurton application, another applicatian involving a lot line rearrangement of platted lots also for review tonight, e' not appear to requite a concurrent vacation of existing easements.
