Dover council votes to vacate 10‑foot utility easement on north side of Markham’s Subdivision parcel
Summary
On Oct. 6, 2025, the Dover City Council approved a motion to vacate a 10‑foot utility easement on the north side of a parcel in Markham’s Subdivision owned by Lyle Boe; the council kept an east‑side alley easement in place because People’s Energy Coop has buried cable there.
The Dover City Council voted Oct. 6 to vacate a 10‑foot utility easement on the north side of a parcel in Markham’s Subdivision in Dover, Olmsted County, Minnesota.
Council Member Eric Tyler moved to vacate the north‑side easement; Council Member Jaime Putzier seconded the motion, and the minutes record that the motion "carried." The minutes do not list a recorded roll‑call tally. The record names the parcel as Lot 9, Block 4, Markham’s Subdivision, and the south 10 feet of Lot 3, Block 2, Gerrish’s Addition.
The minutes identify the current property owner as Lyle Boe and note the previous owner as Brandy Didderich. The council retained a separate 10‑foot easement to the east, along the alley, because People’s Energy Coop has buried cable in that location, the minutes state; that easement will remain to preserve utility access.
Mayor Dave Iseminger called the special meeting to order at 7:00 PM at City Hall. The meeting was brief: a motion to adjourn carried and the meeting was adjourned at 7:11 PM. Minutes were prepared by City Clerk Melanie McGrath.
The minutes do not record additional debate, public comment, a roll‑call vote tally, or any conditions attached to the vacation beyond retaining the east alley easement. No further actions or referrals were recorded in the minutes for this item.
