<br />3.0 STAFF COMMENT <br /> <br />3.1 In reviewing this request, staff has made the following findings: <br /> <br />1. The sanitary sewer within this easement provides service to the existing <br />building on the property and to the building to the east (MILSOLV <br />Minnesota). The proposed sanitary sewer realignment will not affect sanitary <br />sewer service to this property. <br /> <br />2. The vacation of the existing sanitary sewer easement will facilitate the <br />expansion of the existing Old Dutch facility. The removal of the northern <br />portion of the former Viking Sprinkler building will also create separation <br />between the Old Dutch building and the API building to the north. <br /> <br />3. The proposed vacation of this sanitary sewer easement will not have an <br />adverse impact on the general public health, safety and welfare, provided a <br />replacement sanitary sewer line and easement are provided. <br /> <br />4.0 STAFF RECOMMENDA TION <br /> <br />4.1 Based on the findings outlined in Section 3.1 of this report, staff recommends <br />approval of the request for vacation of a 20' sanitary sewer easement and the <br />acceptance of a new 18' sanitary sewer easement by the City, with the following <br />provision: <br /> <br />1. The sanitary sewer line must be relocated, the new sanitary sewer line must <br />be accepted by the City, and the new sanitary sewer easement must be <br />accepted by the City prior to the existing easement being vacated. <br /> <br />5.0 SUGGESTED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br /> <br />5.1 By motion, recommend approval of the request for vacation of a 20' sanitary sewer <br />easement and the acceptance of a new 18' sanitary sewer easement by the City, <br />based on the findings outlined in Section 3.1 and with the provision included in <br />Section 4,1 of this report. <br /> <br />5.2 The Planning Commission's recommended action will be forwarded to the City <br />Council for final action on Monday, April 27, 1998. <br /> <br />Attachments: location map; notification map; notice of public hearing; sketch of existing and proposed <br />easements; legal description of proposed easement; sketch of proposed relocated sanitary sewer line; and <br />letter from Ulteig Engineers. <br /> <br />60-day Time Limit: application submitted on March 9, 1998; application accepted as complete on March 18, <br />1998; decision deadline is May 8,1998. <br /> <br />Prepared by: Kim L.
