<br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for March 12, 2018 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-029 - 3685 New Brighton Road Preliminary and Final Plat and Easement <br />Vacation\Memos_Reports_17-029 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Lift Station 12 is located on private property and an easement has been dedicated to the City that <br />allows for the operation and maintenance of the lift station. The existing easement covers the <br />area of land that includes the pump, wet well, electrical panel, and the driveway section used for <br />City vehicles. Additionally, the easement area includes an 8-inch sanitary sewer line that runs <br />along the west side of the lift station facility. Due to the reconstruction and updates to the lift <br />station in 2012, the easement covers an area larger than the facility footprint and utility lines. <br /> <br />Planning Case 17-029 includes a request to vacate the existing easement for the lift station <br />facility. The proposed Final Plat includes the dedication of a new easement for the lift station <br />covering a small area of land. The easement would be reduced on the eastern side to <br />accommodate a driveway to access a future dwelling. The revised easement area would still <br />include the pump, wet well, electrical panel, driveway section, and 8-inch sanitary sewer line. <br /> <br />The Public Works Director/City Engineer has reviewed the new easement area and determined <br />that it provides adequate area for the City to continue to operate and maintain Lift Station 12. <br />The easement area is sufficient if the City needs to reconstruct the lift station in the future. In the <br />event a larger area of land was needed by the City for staging and completing a reconstruction of <br />the lift station, the City would be able to obtain a temporary construction easement from the <br />property owner at that time. <br /> <br /> <br />Notice and Public Comments <br /> <br />Notice of the public hearing was published in the Arden Hills-Shoreview Bulletin on February <br />21, 2018. Notice was prepared by the City and mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the <br />subject property. <br /> <br />Staff has received several email correspondences from residents regarding Planning Case 17-029 <br />that include comments on the proposed easement vacation. Copies of these correspondences <br />have been provided in Attachment E. The minutes from the January 10 and February 7, 2018 <br />Planning Commission meetings have been included in Attachment F and G. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A.
