The May 22, 2014 Planning Commission meeting minutes were approved as
presented.
4. Announcements
Planning Director Daryl Morey reminded the Planning Commission about the work
session immediately following tonight's regular meeting.
5. Ben Mayer
Chair Lillehei opened the public hearing to consider the application of Ben Mayer for
the vacation of public drainage and utility easements, located at 19540 and 19544
Iteri Avenue.
Ben Mayer was in attendance at tonight's meeting to answer any questions that the
Planning Commission may have.
Commissioner Reuvers arrived at 6:02.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey
stated that Mr. Mayer has submitted an application for the vacation of an existing,
platted boundary drainage and utility easement to allow for the construction of a new
single family home. He indicated that Mr. Mayer owns both Lots 1 and 2, Block 1,
Curren Addition and would like to construct a new house over the current common
property line between Lots 1 and 2. Mr. Dempsey stated that the two lots must also
be combined, which requires City approval of a Zoning Lot Designation and Dakota
County approval to combine the two lots into one property identification number.
Mr. Dempsey stated that the property survey identifies a fence encroachment which
is not the result of the current property owner. He indicated that the encroachment
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, June 5, 2014 Page 2
occurred in 2011 after the City issued a fence permit to the current property owner of
9857 Iteri Lane. Staff will follow up with that property owner to make sure the
encroachment is removed. Therefore, staff is recommending that stipulation 2 listed
in the May 30, 2014 planning report be removed.
Mr. Dempsey stated that the vacation of the drainage and utility easement between
the two parcels is required prior to issuance of a building permit for the new house.
Only a partial vacation of the easement between the two lots is proposed in order to
retain the oversized drainage and utility easement at the front of the property.
Mr. Dempsey stated that staff recommends approval of the Mayer easement
vacation subject to the one remaining stipulation listed in the May 30, 2014 planning
report.
