<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />page# 6 <br /> <br />Wednesday, April 5, 1989 <br /> <br />Planninq File 1929 <br /> <br />Roseville Chevrolet/Mack Truck request for vacation of the <br />portion of County Road C2 lying between Long Lake Road and 35W. <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br />Dahlgren summarized the location and the proposed use of the <br />right of way if it is vacated. <br /> <br />Keel clarified the easement needs in the area. <br /> <br />DeBenedet stated that conditions which should also be considered <br />if this is approved would be that concrete curbing be provided on <br />the whole site and that trash enclosures be provided for the <br />dumpsters. <br /> <br />stokes stated his concern that once the right-of-way is <br />relinquished, it is gone and if the city needs it they would have <br />to buy it back in the future. Stokes stated that he would be in <br />favor or the proposal only if there was a guarantee that the city <br />would never need the right-of-way in the future. Stokes stated <br />that he would prefer letting the applicant use it but not giving <br />up title to the land. Johnson pointed out that Centre pointe has <br />already vacated C2 on the other side of 35W and that the City had <br />decided years ago never to build the overpass. <br /> <br />Dahlgren testified that even though the original intent was to <br />have a vehicular overpass over 35W, he could safely say that no <br />such vehicular overpass would be needed. Dahlgren stated that it <br />would be possible that a pedestrian overpass may be desirable in <br />the long term future if redevelopment occurs in the area. <br /> <br />Stokes stated that the city should keep title to the right-of- <br />way. <br /> <br />DeBenedet stated he felt comfortable that the right-of-way was <br />not necessary because C2 had been vacated on the other side of <br />35W already, and that the City has decided to close C2 across <br />Langton Lake and that C2 doesn't go anywhere to the west. <br /> <br />Dahlgren pointed out to the Commission that the tendency now is <br />to increase distance between access points and that if pedestrian <br />access is desirable in the future, it would be part of a <br />redevelopment of the area. <br /> <br />Stokes stated that the same argument has been used in the past <br />concerning the vacation of railroad right-of-way which is now <br />
