This application was reviewed by the Planning commission at its December 17, 1987 meeting and tabled to allow further analysis of a roadway easement that exists over Tracts D and E of R.L.S. No. 546 (two narrow tracts running through the proposed Tract C of this R.L.S.) . The Secretary reviewed the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 87028 attached) and a letter from the applicant's attorney. The City Engineer reported that the City Attorney's office had reviewed the roadway easement. He explained that the property owners involved have the right to improve the property to provide access through the site, however, it did not appear that improvements would have to be any wider than 24' in order to access the Thompson Lumber site. He also stated that a vacation of the easement which extended through the Thompson Lumber site had been approved on May 19, 1987. Chairman Lucht asked how many parties have an interest in the easement. The City Engineer responded all property owners north of 47th Avenue North, to the Soo Line Railroad between T. H. 100 and the east City limits have an interest in the easement. In response to an inquiry by Chairman Lucht, the Secretary stated that all parties having an interest in the easement would have to relinquish their rights to it, before it could be vacated. Commissioner Nelson inquired if all of these property owners have a right to use the easement. The Secretary responded that they did, however, it seems that only Thompson Lumber would have any real interest in the easement because it leads from 48th Avenue North to the Thompson Lumber site. He noted again that the roadway easement across the Thompson property had previously been vacated. Chairman Lucht asked the applicant if she had anything to add. The applicant's attorney stated he had nothing to add. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Lucht stated the public hearing had been continued to this evening's meeting and asked if anyone present wished to speak regarding the application. Hearing no one, he called for a motion to close the public hearing. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to close the public hearing. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Nelson, Ainas, Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
