Vacation of the Chinchilla Avenue Right-of-Way South of the Cul-de-sac RosEmouNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CITY COUNCIL City Council Regular Meeting: October 1, 2013 AGENDA ITEM: Vacation of the Chinchilla Avenue Right- AGENDA SECTION: of-Way South of the Cul-de-sac [0I1C f4 ail�j PREPARED BY: Eric Zweber, Senior Planner AGENDA NO. �.h, " ATTACHMENTS: Resolution; Location Map; Jordan- Tapper Vacation Request; Declaration of APPROVED BY Driveway and Utility Easement; Resolution 2007-06. oat RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving a Vacation of the Right-of-Way for Chinchilla Avenue South of the Cul-de-sac Lying South of 127th Street Court. ISSUE In 1978, the City of Rosemount approved the Rosemount Hills 2nd Addition for Edward Dunn which created the subdivision located south of McAndrews Road and west of Dodd Boulevard. The lots within the subdivision are served by either by Chinchilla Avenue or 127th Street Court. The south end of the constructed Chinchilla Avenue ends in a cul-de-sac,but the right-of-way for Chinchilla Avenue extends to the southern end of the subdivision. South of the subdivision are three undeveloped lots: two developable lots;owners are James Jordan and John Tapper. The third parcel is undevelopable 60 foot wide lot owned by Edward Dunn. The Dunn parcel is undevelopable because the property does not meet ordinance dimensional requirements and cannot meet ordinance setback requirements. It appears that the Dunn parcel may have been created to continue Chinchilla Avenue,but these three lots were not part of the Rosemount Hills 2nd Addition or any other plat. The Chinchilla Ave right-of-way south of the cul-de-sac has a steep grade and is wooded. In 2006, Mr. Tapper submitted a preliminary plat to split his parcel.At that time staff expressed concern that the construction of Chinchilla Avenue at 32 feet in width and 6%grade would cause significant grading and tree removal to serve three homes: two lots for Mr.Tapper and one for Mr.Jordan. In January of 2007, the City approved a two lot preliminary plat for Mr. Tapper and adopted a resolution vacating the Chinchilla Avenue right-of-way south of the cul-de-sac so that a joint driveway at 22 feet in width and a 10%grade could be constructed to serve the three lots. In 2008, Mr. Tapper requested and received a one year extension on the preliminary plat which has since expired.The division was never recorded and therefore the right of way was not vacated. Currently, Mr.Jordan's property is for sale and Mr. Tapper is considering the sale of his single parcel. To provide access to their properties,Mr.Jordan and Mr. Tapper are requesting the same vacation of the Chinchilla right-of-way as was requested and approved with the Tapper preliminary plat. Similar to the 2007 vacation, staff has provided a condition of approval that a joint access easement be acquired from the neighboring properties, Simonett to the northwest and Miller to the northeast, to ensure legal access to the properties. As f part of the vacation process, adjoining property owners have been notified and had some discussions gp ro p t3' with staff. This is an issue which requires action by all neighbors in order for staff support of the request. The two properties to the north of the Jordan and Tapper property must agree to an easement in order to permit the vacation.The property owners are aware of the request. Should there be any concerns by either party about granting of the access easement, the item should be tabled until agreement can be reached. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution approving the vacation of Chinchilla Avenue right-of-way located south of the cul-de-sac. 2 Chincilla Avenue Vacation ,77,,, i ,,,,,,4 ,or ,„; ., 4,1,4t! 44,;#74:".t ' t,, , , ' it i r Or Pitilidio • '' I . 0 kt! , ,,,,,i4- .. ., ,,,,r, - , t,,,,, ,„,.4, :‘ y - , , - .. ,., , , ik,,,,, : a)r ,..,i***,*,. 4 "II., i .,,, .. wr. . 1 .4 ' '4;4 i4 1 I- .---7.'. ` � , a r t - :4,f ' . + & fo` /s n om 4., t a jjl, t' b tat , s r } i ' + + C' _ - yt, .*» 4 4 mot, w 4 '' f .

(herein the "Easement Property"); and F. The Easement Property, so long as the same has been dedicated to City has never been improved with any curb, gutter, or other street improvements, and Declarants anticipate that with the recording of this Declaration, the City will likely take steps to abandon its dedicated right-of-way over and upon the Easement Property, and will acquiesce in the future use of the Easement Property as a private driveway and utility easement for the benefit of the Tapper Property and the Jordan Property even prior to the abandonment of such right-of-way and its anticipated reversion to the real property owned by adjoining owners, including the Miller Property and the Simonett Property, and a portion of the Jordan Property. G. Declarants, and each of them desire and intend by this Declaration to establish a perpetual appurtenant driveway and utility easement over and upon the Easement Property for the sole and exclusive use and benefit of the Owners of the Jordan Property and the Tapper Property, and their respective heirs, executors successors, and assigns, all as more fully set forth herein, and to provide for the continuing future maintenance of the Easement Property for driveway and utility use purposes by the current, and all future, Owners of the Jordan Property and the Tapper Property; and H. Upon the recording of this instrument, it is the intention of all parties hereto that the City shall be asked and petitioned to immediately commence and diligently pursue to completion the vacation of all public rights now held by City and the public in and to the Easement Property as the same were dedicated and donated with and pursuant to the recording of the plat of ROSEMOUNT HILLS SECOND ADDITION, such vacation to be made subject to the continuing and perpetual rights and interests created and described in this Declaration. WITNESSETH NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, Declarants, owners of the above-described properties makes this Declaration, and declares that there shall exist a nonexclusive and appurtenant private driveway and utility easement ("Easement") over, under, and across the all of the Easement Property for the use and benefit of the Jordan Property and the Tapper Property, and each of them, on the terms and conditions as set forth herein below. 1.

The initial construction of the bituminous driveway shall be jointly planned by the Holders, who shall divide the costs of construction one-half(1/2) to the Jordans and the Jordan Property, and one-half(1/2) to the Tappers and the Tapper Property. The driveway may divide into a "Y" shaped configuration at its southerly extent to the extent reasonably necessary to facilitate any desired convenient maneuvering of motor vehicles onto and away from the Holder's individual parcels. From and after the date of this Declaration, the Holders, collectively or individually, may construct/install utility services at their own expense for their respective property over, under, and upon the Easement Area for the purposes of providing utility services to their respective Properties, provided that the construction/installation of such utility services shall not cause damage to, or otherwise impair, any utility services previously installed and providing services to any other Holder's Property.

Maintenance, for the purposes of this Declaration, shall include repairs and replacements to the existing bituminous driveway surface and the plowing and/or removal of snow. The Holders shall select one of their number as the Manager, whose responsibility shall be to make sure that the bituminous driveway situated upon the Easement Property is maintained in accordance with the requirements of this Declaration. Amounts reasonably expended by the Manager to maintain the bituminous driveway surface shall be promptly reimbursed in accordance with the pro-rations set forth above. Any amount reasonably spent on maintenance by any Holder at the request of or with the approval of the Manager shall also be reimbursed in the same manner. At any time, and from time to time, the Holders may elect to select the other Holder as a replacement manager, provided, however, that neither Holder may perform the duties hereunder as Manager for a period of more than four (4) consecutive years if the other Holder desires to subsume the duties as Manager. With the exception of the foregoing, the existing Manager shall be replaced only by the unanimous agreement of both Holders. In the event either the Tapper Property or the Jordan Property are subdivided for purposes of accommodating more than one residential homestead, upon and after the recording of any such subdivision, the construction and maintenance costs referenced in this paragraph shall thereafter be equally divided among the total number of residential homesteads located on both the Jordan Parcel and the Tapper Parcel. 3. Indemnification. Each Declarant shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the others, and their respective heirs, successors and assigns, from any injury or damage suffered or sustained by any person or entity arising out of, or any way resulting from, the negligence or intentionally malicious act or omission of the indemnifying party relating to the use, maintenance, or repair of the bituminous driveway or any utility installation located within the Easement Property.
