Agenda Placement New Business Originating Department/Requestor: Eric Johnson, City Administrator Requester's Signature Action Requested Discussion, Possible Action Background/Justification (Please indicate if any previous action has been taken or if other public bodies have advised): Central Automotive is seeking that the City facilitate the reduction of the Public Utility and Roadway Easement located to south of their planned building. The attached map shows the proposed 10' reduction from the 30' easement. leaving 20'. The applicant seeks this reduction so as to increase the north side setback which will better facilitate parking and drive aisles. The history of this easement (539834) is a bit vague; as best staff can determine stemmed from perhaps past desire to install a roadway that would serve the formerly named Greenbriar Apartments and or East Oaks. Beyond, this; the City has no utilities that run east-west in the area. The City Council did consider this briefly in its initial review of the Central Automotive submission from 2019, but required that they complete the platting and vacation process separately. See Enclosed Resolution 19-05-25. Recommendation: Based on the 2019 review, the City Council did find in favor of the reduction and the subsequent site plan and this action follows that; unless a significant issue is discovered at the public hearing that relates to the easement itself, the City Staff does offer that the reduction be granted.
