AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends the City Council approve vacation of existing drainage and utility easements.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No Yes, will be held August 12, 2024
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Matthew and Allison Danzl own the single family property located at 14667 71st Street, which is within the plat of Lin-Bar
Estates 2nd Addition. The property owners are proposing to build a 1,200 square foot detached accessory building within
the lot. The location of the proposed building encroaches upon an existing drainage and utility easement.
A grading plan has been submitted to alter the contours of the property to accommodate the proposed detached
accessory building without reducing the stormwater management function or capacity of the existing drainage and utility
easement. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed grading plan and approved the site alterations.
Based upon the proposed grading plan, the portion of the existing drainage and utility easements that would be
encroached upon by the detached accessory building are no longer necessary and no longer serves a public purpose. The
property owners are requesting vacation of said easement.
City staff has drafted a resolution for consideration by the City Council following conducting a public hearing.
