LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN, LTD. Mr. Steven R. Sarkozy Thomas M. Scott, Esq. May 28, 1999 Page 13 On May 26, 1999, the Rice Creek Watershed District Board of Managers found the proposed Cub Foods final site drainage plan to be consistent with Rice Creek Watershed District criteria and a substantial improvement over existing conditions. The Board authorized staff to issue the final permit pending legal counsel approval of submitted ponding and flowage easements. . Utilities and Proposed Utility Easement Vacation and Relocation Existing utilities have adequate capacity to serve the proposed Cub Foods project. An existing public 48-inch storm sewer will need to be relocated. The length of pipe relocation is equal to the length of pipe abandonment and the slope of the relocated pipe will match the slope of the abandoned pipe resulting in no net impact to the conveyance capability of the storm sewer. An existing public watermain and public sanitary sewer will also need to be relocated. As with the storm sewer, the length of pipe relocation will be equal to the length of pipe abandonment and the slope of the relocated pipe will match the slope of the abandoned pipe resulting in no net impact to the conveyance capability of each pipe. On February 8, 1999, Bradley and Cub applied to the City for approval to vacate and rededicate utility easements to accommodate the proposed Cub Foods project. The City approved a similar utility easement vacation and rededication for Home Place in 1995. The City Engineering Department determined that the proposed easement vacation and relocation meet City criteria. The staff report, dated March 22, 1999, states, inter alia, that it is City policy to accommodate developers regarding the vacation and rededication of easements whenever possible. .
