Council approves vacation of drainage and utility easements at Biscayne Business Park
Summary
The Rosemount City Council adopted a resolution to vacate portions of drainage and utility easements on Lots 7 and 8 of the Biscayne Business Park to accommodate a refined site plan for five office-warehouse buildings.
The Rosemount City Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution approving the vacation of portions of existing drainage and utility easements on Lots 7 and 8 of the Biscayne Business Park to allow a refined site layout for a five-building office–warehouse development.
City staff member Keaneberger told the council the Planning Commission had previously approved a site plan and that the applicant, Keystone Development Partners, submitted minor redesigns — mostly tied to stormwater pond placement — that required vacating additional easement areas. "This is all standard practice as we have developments that come forward on previously platted properties," Keaneberger said.
The council opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers. Councilmember Klimpel moved to adopt the resolution; the motion was seconded and carried on a recorded vote of 4–0, with Councilmembers Klimpel, Wiesenstahl, Reske and Esler voting aye. The resolution grants the easement vacation contingent on the new site plan conforming to city zoning code provisions.
Staff said the redesign will return to the Planning Commission for a new site plan review, and that the vacation relates to private property reconfiguration; no changes to public stormwater policy were announced. The council gave no further direction to staff.
The action removes legacy easement constraints from the two lots so the developer may finalize building locations and stormwater facilities in the Biscayne Business Park.
