Commission approves abandonment of 2.7-acre Lot A at SD 34 & SD 47 and grants a 20-foot sewer easement in Veblen
Summary
The Commission approved abandonment of Lot A (2.7 acres) near Max Corner (SD 34 & SD 47) and granted a 20-foot permanent sewer main easement to the City of Veblen on a DOT-owned 4.63-acre parcel along SD-25, after staff described history and recommended actions.
John Keys of the DOT Right of Way office presented two right-of-way actions to the Commission. On the first item he said Lot A (described in the agenda) is 2.7 acres and was originally acquired in 1942; staff recommended abandoning the parcel because it is no longer needed for highway purposes. "The right of way was originally acquired in 1942... it has been determined that this is no longer needed by the department for highway purposes," Keys said, and the Commission approved abandonment by roll call.
For the second item, Keys described an undocumented sewer main crossing a 4.63-acre DOT parcel in Veblen (SD-25). The City of Veblen declined to purchase the parcel during a prior disposal offer; staff recommended granting a 20-foot permanent utility easement to document the existing sewer main and allow disposition of the parcel. Commissioners asked whether the 20-foot width was sufficient; Keys said the city engineer confirmed the width is adequate. The Commission moved and carried approval to grant the permanent easement.
