BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
M/I Homes of Minneapolis/St. Paul, LLC has submitted application to final plat a second phase of Boulder
Pass, which is located at the northwest quadrant of 70th Street (CSAH 38) and Quaday Avenue. The
preliminary plat for Boulder Pass was approved by the City Council on 12 October 2009. The preliminary
plat allowed for gravel excavation for export to bring the property to the planned grades prior to final
platting.
The final plat encompasses Outlot G, Boulder Pass that was established with the initial final plat. The initial
final plat included dedication of drainage and utility easements that must be vacated concurrent with the
application for Boulder Pass 2nd Addition. The Boulder Pass 2nd Addition will dedicate those drainage and
utility easements as required by Section 10-8-12.A of the Subdivision Ordinance, subject to approval of the
City Engineer. The existing drainage and utility easements previously dedicated within Outlot G, Boulder
Pass will no longer serve a public purpose upon approval of the Boulder Pass 2nd Addition.
The City Council is to hold the public hearing required to vacate the existing drainage and utility easements
within Outlot G, Boulder Pass and take any comments. The vacation request should then be tabled to a
future City Council meeting to be acted upon together with the approval of Boulder Pass 2nd Addition.
