5.0 STAFF COMMENTS: S.l When reviewinQ requests for vacating a public ROW, the Public Works/EnQineering Departinent detennines whether the request will, iminediately or in the future, have an adverse impact the general health, welfare or safety of the citizens of the City of Roseville. Further, there needs to be a joint deterinination fi-om the PuUlic Works Department aild the Minnesota Deparnnent of Transportatio�l (MNDOT) of whether the Walnut Street ROW is or will be necessary to facilitate the distribution of traffic between the Lauderdale neighborhood to the south and State Highway 280 to the north, whether public utilities lie underneatli the right-of-way, and how best to protect the public interest 52 The Public Works/Engineering Departme�lt and MNDOT has determined that the City has no plans to improve Walnut Street in that location and that the interests of the public will not be comproinised by vacating the portion of the Walnut Street ROW that overlaps the Midland Hills property. The site plan included with this staff report (Attachment C) illustrates the Walnut Street ROW subject to the vACAT�oN request. 5.3 A legal description of the land to be vacated has not yet provided, so it is unclear whether the rec�uest is to vacate the entire Walnut Street ROW in tliis location or just that portion of ROW overlapping the applicant's property. Despite this ambiguity, the Public Works Departinent recommends approving the vacation of the potion of the Walnut Street ROW that coincides with the Midland Hills propei-ty, but does not support vacating the ROW which does not lie on the applicant's property. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 Based on the comments and findings outlined in Section 5 of this report, the Planning Division recotnmends approval of the request for a v.acaTiotv of that portion of the Walnut Street R►�x�['-oF-wAV which overlaps the southwest cot-��er of the Midland Hills Golf Course property subject to the following conditions: 7.0 7.] a. b.
