Letters from Utilities Application Summary: In November 2013 the City Council approved a request for a lot line rearrangement between the applicants' properties at 20 Orono Orchard Rd and 30 Orono Orchard Rd in order to move the common tot line east approximately 94-98 feet so that the barn and the land around the barn would become part of 20 Orono Orchard Rd. As part of the lot line rearrangement the applicants granted new utility and drainage easements along the new common lot line. Due to the publication timing the necessary vacation of existing drainage and utility easements along the current common lot line were not able to be vacated as part of the lot line rearrangement approval. The appropriate utility companies have been notified. There are no identified facilities existing within the easements to be vacated. Planning Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the easement vacation. Council Action Requested: The City Council should open the public hearing regarding the vacation of the easements and hear any testimony. The Council should then adopt or amend the attached Resolution regarding the vacation request.
