The motion carried unanimously (6-0). B. Planning Case 14-013; Preliminary & Final Plat – Gateway 2nd Addition – Public Hearing City Planner Streff stated that the City of Arden Hills is requesting approval of a Preliminary and Final Plat of the Gateway 2nd Addition to correct and/or combine particular parcels located in close proximity to the intersection of Round Lake Road and Gateway Court. The request includes the replat of two properties that are located at 4300 Round Lake Road and 1987 Gateway Court along with new right-of-way and easement areas. The property is generally located north of I-694, south of Highway 96, east of I-35, and west of Old Highway 10/Round Lake. The replatting will ensure that the City has adequate right-of-way and easements for street and utility access and maintenance. City Planner Streff indicated that the City has been working with Egan, Field & Nowak (EFN), Inc. to replat the area so that concerns with adequate right-of-way areas and drainage and utility easement areas are addressed before the City commences the reconstruction work of Round Lake Road and Gateway Court in 2014. The replat of this property will allow the City to acquire additional right-of-way along Round Lake Road and Gateway Court, while vacating a portion of the right-of-way that is within the parking lot of 1987 Gateway Boulevard. In addition, the replat of this area will allow the City to obtain crucial drainage and utility easements need for maintenance purposes and at the same time vacating portions that are no longer needed by the City. The City Council will review the right-of-way and easement vacation request at the time of the Final Plat review. City Planner Streff noted the Public Works Director has provided a memo detailing the project for the Planning Commission, along with a Preliminary and Final Plat.
