Council approves vacation of drainage and utility easement in Autumn Terrace subdivision
Summary
Rosemount adopted a resolution vacating portions of a recorded drainage and utility easement between lots in the Autumn Terrace townhome subdivision because utility infrastructure was rerouted and the easement is no longer needed.
The Rosemount City Council on Aug. 4, 2025, adopted a resolution approving the vacation of portions of a recorded drainage and utility easement in the Autumn Terrace subdivision.
City planning staff reported the Autumn Terrace subdivision — a 2.19‑acre development of twelve twin‑home lots approved in September 2022 — originally included a drainage and utility easement between Lots 8, 9 and 13 to accommodate planned infrastructure. Staff said the utility infrastructure was subsequently rerouted to the east of the property, leaving the easement unnecessary. After a public hearing with no speakers, the council adopted the vacation resolution.
The council’s action vacates the easement as recorded on the subdivision plat; staff said the change follows normal practice when utility routing changes during development and would allow the owner/developer to proceed with building as platted while maintaining required utility and stormwater facilities elsewhere on the site.
