11 BACKGROUND <br />12 Back in 1978 a pathway easement was signed by Roseville Senior Homes. At that time, <br />13 for some reason, the section maps showed the property for 1045 Larpenteur Ave as <br />14 stopping at the edge of the then in place street easement (northern edge of Larpenteur <br />15 right-of-way). In fact, the actual property line goes to the center of the roadway. <br />16 Therefore, when the easement references the south 14 feet, it actually referenced 14 feet <br />17 north of the roadway centerline. <br />18 In 1996, this was discovered by City staf£ Efforts were made to create a new easement <br />19 document with a corrected legal description. On February 26, 1996, the Roseville City <br />20 Council took action to "release" the sidewalk easement. However, this was never filed <br />21 with Ramsey County and no original documents detailing this transaction can be found. <br />22 Therefore, the City Attorney has recommended that the City process an easement <br />23 vacation at this time to legally correct the situation. The property owner is aware of the <br />24 situation and is cooperating fully to establish a new sidewalk easement in the proper <br />25 location. <br />26 The property at 1045 Larpenteur Avenue has a Comprehensive Plan Land Use <br />27 designation of High Density Residential (HR) and a zoning classification of High Density <br />28 Residential-1 (HDR-1) and is currently home to Roseville Senior Apartments. <br />29 4.0 <br />30 <br />31 <br />32 <br />VACATION ANALYSIS <br />The City Attorney and Public Warks Department staff have reviewed the proposed <br />vacation of the pathway easement as illustrated in Attachment C and is supportive of <br />vacating the easement as described and noted on the illustration. <br />33 Planning Division staff prepares the report and supporting materials for review, but <br />34 doesn't have an interest, per se, in such proposals and merely conveys the comments and <br />35 recommendation of the Public Warks Department in addition to coordinating the review <br />36 of the proposal by the Planning Commission and City Council. The Planning Division <br />37 will become involved when formal plans for the site redevelopment are submitted for <br />38 building permit review and approval. <br />39 5.0 <br />40 <br />41 <br />42 6.0 <br />43 <br />44 <br />45 <br />46 <br />47 <br />48 <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />As of the time this report was prepared, Planning Division staff had not received any <br />questions/comments about the proposal. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the comments and �ndings outlined in Sections 5 and 6 of this report, the <br />Planning Division recommends approval of the vACAT1oN of the pathway easement as <br />described and illustrated on Attachment C for property at 1045 Larpentuer Avenue. <br />PF14-007 RCA_042ll4 (2).doc <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
