PUBLIC HEARINGS
7.a. Public Hearing for a Vacation of the Drainage and Utility Easement over Outlots A
and B, Prestwick Place 16th Addition
Community Development Director Lindquist provided an overview of a request, noting that
placement of easements over outlots is one way to preserve future phases until the developer is
ready to build. To accommodate the development of Prestwick Place 19th Addition, a vacation of the
drainage and utility easements over Outlots A and B, Prestwick Place 16th Addition is necessary
which is typical when there are multi-phased developments in a larger preliminary plat.
Mayor Droste opened the public hearing at 7:22 p.m.
Ben Lillie
13996 Ashford Path
Mr. Lillie a current resident who has a utility easement on his property stated he has had a number
of issues arise due to the easement. Mr. Lillie stated he would like to know the difference between
easements and a clearer answer of what can and cannot be done on the easements; i.e. landscape
design, rock, grass, etc.
Ms. Lindquist explained the differences between easements and explained the reasoning for certain
easements. Staff further elaborated on the main item to consider when dealing with easements is to
not change the elevation level as this would have an impact on the drainage and can affect
neighbors.
ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS
MAY 21, 2019
Council members advised staff to put together guidelines for residents clarifying the differences
between easements, educate residents on what homeowners can and cannot do on easements, and
ensuring residents are notified should a sign be placed in a homeowner’s back yard.
Daniel Eckstrom
14095 Abercorn Ave
Mr. Eckstrom lives on property that has an easement to the back of his property and questioned
staff on the reasoning of granting variances. Ms. Lindquist provided an explanation regarding the
easement with this particular area and the reasoning for variances.
Mr. Eckstrom questioned how builders will get the dirt that is currently building up in this area
removed and whether or not the builders will remove the dirt. Ms. Lindquist confirmed staff does a
final inspection of all completed projects to ensure all builders have abided by our regulations and
project approval requirements.
Linda Stone
13974 Ashford Path
Ms. Stone would like to receive further clarification from staff on what property owners can and
cannot do within the easement areas. Ms. Stone also questioned whether or not the weeds will be
controlled within the easement area on her property. Staff stated there is a certain seed mix that is
required in certain easements that will help prevent the weeds.
Pat Riley
13970 Ashford Path
Mr. Riley stated the main reason for purchasing the lot he did was for the extended lot size and now
Mr. Riley is concerned because he is unable to utilize the full lot due to the easement restrictions.
Tom Stone
13974 Ashford Path
Mr. Stone expressed his concern that some builders are misleading potential and current
homeowners that homeowners are able to utilize the full lot. Mr. Stone urges staff to communicate
to the builders the policy to avoid further confusion on lot sizes and easements.
Ben Lillie
13996 Ashford Path
Mr. Lillie followed up regarding his statement earlier stating Mr. Lillie had a lawyer review
documents regarding Mr. Lillie’s property and the understanding was “the homeowner can do what
the homeowner wants as long as it is not permanent”. Mr. Lillie as well is requesting for a clearer
explanation of what can and cannot be done on easements.
Motion by Droste Second by Weisensel
