City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Hicks & City Councilmembers
From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director
Date: August 20, 2018
Item: Public Hearing– Vacation of Easement #2018-39 – Wallin 17th Addition
Council Action Requested:
Hold a public hearing to consider vacation of a drainage and utility easement located on
Outlot A, WALLIN 17TH ADDITION as requested by Roberta Sjodin on land owned by
Duane Wallin and Winston Wallin Partnership. The City Council ordered the public
hearing at the August 6, 2018 meeting.
Final action on the resolution to vacate the easement is not sought at this time;
action will be held in conjunction with the Preliminary and Final Plat application of
Wallin 18th Addition.
Background Information:
History – The subject property is part of the Wallin Master Development Agreement
(MDA) approved by the City Council in 2002. The drainage and utility easement was
established in preparation for a larger lot single family housing development. The lot
configuration proposed as part of Wallin 18th Addition modifies public utilities in the area
eliminating the need for the drainage and utility easement.
Vacation Procedure – Hastings Home Rule Charter Section 7.05 regulates the vacation
of streets, alleys, and public easements. The City Council may consider a vacation upon
published and mailed notice to affected property owners.
Recommendation – Approval of the vacation is recommended. The changes proposed
as part of Wallin 18th Addition no longer necessitate the easement.
