COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: VACATION OF A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT AT 610 & 700 SE 16TH
STREET
BACKGROUND:
The final plat for the Menards Subdivision included an easement across 610 and 700 SE
16th Street for a sanitary sewer main extension that was anticipated to be installed as part
of the new Menards store construction. However, during construction it was determined
that an existing raw water main was at an elevation that prevented the sewer from being
installed as planned. Therefore, the sanitary sewer main extension was relocated further
to the west and a new easement was established and secured for that new sanitary sewer
main location. As a result, the previously platted sewer easement is no longer
needed and can be vacated (see attached map).
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Set the date of public hearing as November 12, 2019 to approve the vacation of the
aforementioned easement at 610 & 700 SE 16th Street.
2. Reconsider the vacation of the aforementioned easement at 610 & 700 SE 16th
Street.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
This sanitary sewer easement can be vacated because the sewer was installed in a
different location than originally planned and therefore is no longer necessary. Therefore,
it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative
No. 1 as noted above.
