The proposal intends to utilize Cornerstone concepts by bringing <br />the building closer to the street and providing parking to the rear and screening the parking <br />area from adjacent residential uses. <br /> <br />2.2 The concept Planned Unit Development indicated an interest in vacating 12 feet of the <br />County Road "D" right-of-way. However, after review and consideration by the Roseville <br />Engineering Department, only 7-1/2 feet of County Road "D" can be vacated due to existing <br />utilities. <br /> <br />2.3 Section 1013.04 outlines the procedures for vacating streets, alleys, and easements. A public <br />hearing is required. The Planning Commission holds the public hearing and recommends <br />a vacation action to the City Council. <br /> <br />3.0 Staff Comment <br /> <br />3.1 In reviewing this request, staff made the following findings: <br /> <br />It appears that the proposal vacating 7-1/2 feet of County Road "D" right-of-way addresses <br />the concerns of Arden Hills regarding existing utilities and street configuration, as well as <br />those of the Roseville Engineering Department regarding the existing sanitary sewer. <br />Further, it is necessary to remove the northerly portion of the building that includes the <br />stairwell and the basement, in order to place the remaining portion of the building entirely <br />on private property <br /> <br />PF3092 - RCA (03-22-99) - Page 1 of2 0'\ <br />}tA <br />~If}' <br />
