4.1 In January of 2006, Bunten Inc. sought and received approval by the Roseville City Council for multiple VARIANCES, VACATION of certain PUBLIC EASEMENTS and FINAL PLAT. Since that date a number of circumstances has have occurred that have required modifications to either easement documents or the mylars (plat document recorded at Ramsey County). One of the modifications includes an additional lot for the City's land on which it lift station lies. 4.2 Since the initial City Council action, variances have been recorded against the property and the office building has been constructed along with other site improvements. In December of 2007, the easement agreement was finalized and signed by the City, but due to timing issues and the absence of signatures, the FINAL PLAT could not be recorded. REVIEW of REQUEST: 4.3 Three of the existing parcels addressed as 2361 Highway 36 West have a Comprehensive Land Use Map designation of 1, Industrial and a zoning designation of 1 -1, Light Industrial. The existing 5 lots addressed as 2325 Highway 36 West and 2357, 2335, and 2369 Fulham Street, have a Comprehensive Land Use Map designation of B, Business and a zoning designation of B-4, Retail Office Service District. 4.4 North of subject property is Ternes-Burton (manufacturing/light assembly) , zoned Light Industrial; south is the Service Road and Interstate 35W; east is the Roseville West Building (office), zoned Retail Office Service District; and west is Northstar Financial Forms (printing), zoned Light Industrial. 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS - VACATION OF CERTAIN PUBLIC EASEMENTS: 5.1 The Planning and Engineering Divisions of the City of Roseville have reviewed the latest documents pertaining to PUBLIC EASEMENT VACATION and concludes as it did in 2006 and 2007 that the vacation of certain storm water pond easements will not adversely impact adjacent and/or contiguous properties. 5.2 The Public Works/Engineering Division has reviewed the requirements of the Public Improvement Contract and concludes that all required items have been met. This is represented by the signed easement agreement of December 27, 2007. 6.0 STAFF COMMENTS - FINAL PLAT': 6.1 City Code Section 1011.04 (Necessary Data for Final Plat) identifies the required information necessary for a FINAL PLAT approval. 6.2 The proposal by Bonten, Inc. seeks to consolidate 8 existing lots and/or parcels and create 4 separate lots; 3 to include structures for which VARIANCES have been granted and I for land the City owns on which a lift station/pump is located. 6.3 The Development Review Committee has reviewed the revised FINAL PLAT and supports the lot configurations (to be consistent with the previous approval) and re-dedication of storm sewer easements.
