<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 building on the <br />property and to the building to the east (MILSOLV Minnesota). The proposed sanitary sewer <br />realignment will not affect sanitary sewer service to this property, <br /> <br />2. The vacation of the existing sanitary sewer easement will facilitate the expansion of the <br />existing Old Dutch facility. The removal ofthe northern portion ofthe former Viking Sprinkler <br />building will also create separation between the Old Dutch building and the API building to <br />the north, <br /> <br />3. The proposed vacation of this sanitary sewer easement will not have an adverse impact on <br />the general public health, safety and welfare, provided a replacement sanitary sewer line and <br />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.
