Regular City Council Meeting Monday,November 25, 2019 Page 13 Etten moved, Groff seconded, adoption of Resolution 11651 entitled, "Resolution Approving the Vacation of a Portion of County Road B Lying East of Minnesota Trunk Highway 280." Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, Etten, Willmus, Groff and Roe. Nays: None. f. Public Hearing to Consider Resolution Approving the Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easements and Accepting the New Drainage and Utility Easement and Pathway Easement at 3015 Centre Pointe Drive City Engineer/Assistant Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer briefly high- lighted this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action and related attach- ments dated November 25, 2019. It was noted there was one objection from the property owner adjacent to this easement. City Attorney Gaughan explained to make the record clear, there are two ways to vacate an easement, one is on a petition signed by all interested property owners or on the city's own motion. There is not a petition from all interested property owners on this item so if the city is interested in vacating this easement, it would need to be on the city's own motion so he would recommend on Attachment A, which is the proposed draft Resolution, to change line 29-30 as follows: "Whereas the Roseville city Council has determined that the vacation would be in the public interest; and therefore makes this resolution upon its own motion." Councilmember Etten explained some of the concern from the adjoining property owner was around loss of green space and ponding was mentioned. He wondered if there was ponding at all or just on the southern property. Ms. Freihammer showed a layout of the existing basin. He noted the basin is es- sentially split in half, providing storm water treatment and storage on both proper- ties so there would still be roughly half a pond remaining as a part of this. There is technically less green space. Councilmember Etten asked if there was any planting or landscaping require- ments with this. City Planner Paschke indicated a landscape plan came in as a part of the devel- opment project and is required for the whole site. This site meets the PUD for the standard of green space as required for the whole site. Turning the pond into un- derground stormwater storage still achieves compliance with the PUD as per the requirements in there. He believed the south pond does have some landscaping.
