Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Motion carried. d. Planning File 3592: Request by Judith LeTendre for a roadway easement vacation for a portion of Wagner Street. Chair Mulder opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke to present the verbal summary of the staff report dated August 4, 2004. Mr. Paschke advised that on November 2, 1939, Rolling Green was recorded with Ramsey County. This subdivision plat created lots and dedicated street right-of-way for an area generally west of Chandler Avenue, south of McCarrons Boulevard, and north of Wagner Street. Specific to this plat was a 30 foot wide dedication for the future roadway to be known as Wagner Street. On July 2, 1980, a roadway easement was granted to the City of Roseville, which easement is 30 feet wide, 266 feet long, and directly adjacent to 386 Wagner Street. On May 6, 1992, a roadway easement for a portion of the Western Avenue cul-de-sac was granted to the City of Roseville. Judith LeTendre, property owner at 386 Wagner Street, has requested that a portion of the 30 foot wide by 266 feet long easement be vacated. Mr. Paschke further indicated that the proposal to vacate the southern portion of the 30 foot by 266 foot roadway easement has been reviewed by the Public Works Department. The roadway easement has been determined to be unnecessary. Specifically, Wagner Street will remain a dead end cul-de-sac west of Western Avenue (never to connect) and the easement has no public utilities beneath it. Ms. LeTendre had no comment. George Cartwright, 1823 Western Avenue, asked for clarification on setbacks and frontages and the vacation process. He expressed concern about the potential large house on the lot south of his lot. Ms. Ann Elias, 1823 Western Ave., asked how close an owner can build to a side lot line (10 feet from the side lot line). She asked for further detail on the easement. Jay Rollinger, 403 Wagner, asked if he could request a vacation of non-road land in front of his house (yes). Ann Elias likes the public access ways for pedestrians and hopes they can remain. Deb Bloom and Thomas Paschke explained this right-of-way is not on the pathway plan and there is no funding for a public pathway. Chair Mulder closed the hearing. Motion: Member Pust moved, second by Member Bakeman, to recommend approval of the request by Judith LeTendre to vacate a portion of the 30 foot by 266 foot roadway easement, that being a piece 30' x 153', directly adjacent to 386 Wagner Street, based on the finding of Section 5 of the project report dated August 4, 2004, subject to the following condition: a. The applicant submitting the legal description of the area to be vacated and the proper legal document on which to record the vacation at Ramsey County, both to be reviewed and approved by the Director of Public Works.
