30 reserve purposes, in the same manner as vacation proceedings are conducted for streets, 31 alleys and other public ways under a home rule charter or other provisions of law. 32 4.3 On December 15, 2008, the Roseville City Council approved the proposal by Metro 33 Transit to construct a 460 -stall park and ride facility in the northeast corner of the Old 34 Dominion parcel. A subsequent action by the City Council approved a two -lot 35 subdivision known as Twin Lakes Addition of the parcel, creating the lot for the park and 36 ride facility and Outlot A that may not be developed without further platting. 37 4.4 Also on December 15, 2008, the City Council approved the Vacation and Re- Granting 38 Agreement. This agreement stipulates the terms and conditions under which the Twin 39 Lakes Addition plat shall be recorded and the process that will occur (by the applicant 40 and City) to vacate the 10 foot wide strips of land along the north and east boundaries of 41 the Old Dominion parcel. 42 4.5 The 10 -foot wide strips of land were conveyed to the City in a Quit Claim Deed back on 43 April 29, 1959 and contained within Document Number 1511814 and recorded with the 44 Ramsey County Recorder on June 7, 1960. The City and property owners never fully 45 agreed on the ownership of the strips of land. Thus the Vacation and Re- Granting 46 Agreement was created to allow the Metro Transit project to proceed while allowing the 47 City to retain its right for use of the land. 48 4.6 Recently, the Ramsey County Surveyor accepted the Twin Lakes Addition plat, which 49 will allow the applicant to produce mylar document's for signature and, ultimately, 50 recording. This subdivision depicts the 10- foot -wide strips of land as dedicated public 51 right -of -way for Iona Lane and Mount Ridge Road. The executed Agreement requires 52 the City to vacate the portion of the strips of land NOT contained within Lot 1, Block 1, 53 Twin Lakes Addition or that which lies over the Outlot. 54 5.0 PLANNING COMMISSION /STAFF RECOMMENDATION 55 On May 6, 2009 that Roseville Planning Commission held the duly noticed public 56 hearing regarding the Old Dominion request for right -of -way vacation.
