Approve Resolution 2008-052 for the Vacation of Various Easements and a Public Ri!!ht-of-Way as part of the Final Plat for the Traverse Business Center and Rescind Resolution 2008-016, as proposed in the November 10, 2008, Report to the City Council City Planner Meagan Beekman stated On October 29, 2007, the City of Mden Hills approved a planned unit development (PUD) permit to CMK Mden Holdings (Chesapeake Companies) for the Traverse Business Center. 1\s part of the proposal to replat the property, the applicant requested that the City vacate several easements and the right-of-way for 13th Street ~E, which only serves the applicant's property. On July 14,2008, the City of Mden Hills approved resolution 2008-016, vacating the requested easements and the right-of-way. The resolution was then filed with Ramsey County by the applicant. In the process of reviewing the vacations in order to assign document numbers to them, the County discovered that the legal descriptions for one of the easements and the right-of-way that was vacated included descriptions of areas to the north and not located on the Traverse Business Center Plat. This discrepancy was brought to the attention of the City Staff and the City i\ttorney. Since it was clearly not the intent of the City to vacate areas not encompassed by the Traverse Business Center Plat, the City 1\ttorney drafted a new resolution that rescinds the previous vacation, Resolution 2008-016, and corrects the descriptions of the areas to be vacated; limiting them only to those areas within the designated plat. Staff recommends approving the vacation of the five easements and the right-of-way and rescinding Resolution 2008-016. Mayor Harpstead opened the public hearing at 7: 10 p.m. Mayor Harpstead closed the public hearing at 7:11 p.m. MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to 1\pprove Resolution 2008-052 for the Vacation of Various Easements and a Public Right-of-Way as part of the Final Plat for the Traverse Business Center and Rescind Resolution 2008- 016, as Proposed in the ~ovember 10, 2008, Report to the City Council.
