Date Application Received: 06/17/15 Date Application Considered as Complete: 07/15/15 120-Day Review Period Expires: 10/15/15 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 6 October 2015 Item No. 7 Department Approval: Administrator Approval: Agenda Section: Name: Melanie Curtis mcc RJO Planning Title: Planner Item Description: #15-3761 – Ridge Creek Custom Homes – 4775 North Shore Dr – Vacation – Resolution Application Summary: The applicant is requesting vacation of the portion of “Lake Street” which abuts the southerly boundary of their property and is parallel and adjacent to the shoreline. “Lake Street” was dedicated within the plat of Bergquist’s and Wicklund’s Park, Hennepin County, Minnesota in 1889. In past actions the City has vacated many similar shoreline rights-of-way, while maintaining a strong stand against vacating those alleys or fire lanes that are perpendicular to the shoreline which would potentially provide public access to the lake from other rights-of-way further back from the lake. For example, the applicants’ property abuts a 30-foot dedicated roadway platted as Adams Street, which staff would not support vacating. Planning Commission Recommendation On September 21, 2015, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the application including the evidence submitted. Following the public hearing the Commission voted 6 to 0 on a motion to approve the vacation as requested. Planning Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the vacation of the requested portion of Lake Street. A draft approval resolution has been provided for Council’s consideration. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Council should consider adopting or amending the approval resolution. List of Exhibits: Exhibit A. Draft Resolution Exhibit B. Survey Exhibit C.
