1 PLANNING REPORT DATE: 3 August 1988 CASE NUMBER: 1873 APPLICANT: John T. Jenkins and Alan M. Deutsch LOCATION: Delwood Avenue Extended, South of Oakcrest Avenue (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Vacation of Public Right -of -Way PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Attached is a copy of a portion of the City of Roseville's section map showing the public right-of-way in question as a cross hatched area. On either side of the public right-of-way in question are the lots owned by' John Jenkins and Alan Deutsch. The areas shaded gray indicate these lots. 2. The proposal on the part of the contiguous property owners is to vacate that portion of Delwood Avenue between Oakcrest and the south line ' of the applicant's property. If this action is taken by the City Council, the property owners on either side of the affected right-of-way would, under normal circumstances, be awarded title to the former public right-of-way contiguous to their properties. In this case, each property owner would gain 30 feet of frontage on Oakcrest Avenue. 3. The problem is that the property to the south is platted as an outlot and is owned by the City of Roseville. Most of Outlot A is low and is utilized for drainage purposes, as well as a portion of the park that is owned by the City to the south of Outlot A. 4. Through Outlot A there is a water and sewer line. The water line is located between Lots 7 and 8 on Willow Circle and extends to Willow Lane (to the east) between Lots 6 and 7. Likewise a sewer line extends between Lots 8 and 9 off of Willow Circle and proceeds easterly to Willow Lane between Lots 6 and 7. If you look at the section map carefully you will note the existence of the easements to provide' for these utility lines. However, the City owns all of Outlot A and there are no utility easements through Outlot A. Mr. Strong informs us that Mr. John Hall, Roseville Superintendent of Utilities, is concerned about gaining access to these utility lines if the extension of Delwood Avenue is vacated. 5. Another concern is for the public's ability to get to the park. People can now proceed down the Delwood right-of-way around the ponding area and gain access to the park area.
