RE:
Vacation of Easements Associated with Market Street Station
Development - File No. 03-03 VAC
BACKGROUND
Staff has received a request from Market Street Station, LLP, the developers of
the Bowling Alley property, to vacate easements that are currently in place with
the existing property. The drainage and utility easements on the site were
previously vacated by the City Council on October 27th, but legal counsel has
advised that other easements still need to be vacated which are not drainage and
utility easements.
These easements were established in 1976, and if left in place, would run directly
beneath the new buildings being proposed by the developer. This would impede
the ability of the applicant to receive financing for the redevelopment project. As
with all new projects, the developer will be required to provide easements on the
final plat for all new utilities that will be put into place.
RECOMMENDATION (simple majority vote required)
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motion:
"The Chanhassen City Council approves a resolution vacating existing easements
located within the Chanhassen Bowling Alley redevelopment property subject to
the following condition:
1. Legal descriptions of the easements to be vacated must be supplied to
the City for recording."
