Request For Council Action Date: 03/22/99 Item No: Department Approval: Manager Approved: Agenda Section: LAND USE Item Description: Triangle Warehouse, 2513 Walnut Street: Time Extension for subdivision ~osal 1.0 Background 1.1 The 100,000 s.f. Triangle Warehouse proposed for 2513 Walnut Street requires a subdivision approval to purchase a piece of the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of- way and attach it to the five acres located south of the rail line. A 180 day public review period began in January,1999 to allow public agencies an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed abandonment action and to determine the public's interests. Subsequently, the staff has reviewed Roseville's interest in retaining the BN (Burlington Northern) railroad right-of-way adjacent to County Road C. 1.2 The City's 1998 Comprehensive Plan states that the City should: Provide input into the rail corridor planning and abandonment processes. If rails are to be removed, the corridors should be preserved for public uses such as light rail or pathways. a) Ifthere is a rail line abandonment in Roseville, an appropriate public agency should acquire the land for public purposes. b) Light rail planning should receive input from Roseville. Roseville should preserve potential rights-of-way and station locations and identify possible routes for tributary bus service. c) Identify and work with the decision-makers on approved LRT routes in Roseville.
