New Business: Community Development Director Nate Keller gave a comprehensive presentation of the
three items of new business for the Commission. The two subject lots were approved as part of the
Northland Business Center plat in Feb. 2019 by PC and June 2019 by Council. CLC Partners is
proposing a final plat for the Northland Business Center Second Addition. Plat is located East of 21 st Ave
NE and West of future 24th Ave NE. Plat is two lots and totals about 17 acres not including ROW.
The proposal includes a vacation of easement due to the lot line readjustments. The old interior
easements need to be vacated to facilitate new lots and new easements need to be rededicated along
the boundaries.
The second request relates to vacating portions of the ROW. The ROW currently curves and bends. The
applicant would like to maintain the same lot size; therefore, vacating part of the ROW would be required
to allow for a new T -intersection.
The formal final plat request proposed is essential a re -plat however the City's Subdivision standards still
require a Developers Agreement for any Final Plat (per Ordinance 540 Subd. 14 Section B).
The public hearing for the vacation of the easements and ROW will be conducted at the City Council
level.
Commission inquired about how the determination for a T -intersection was arrived at. Keller shared that it
was a collaboration between the developer and the City.
Loso motioned to Recommend Approval for a Resolution Vacating Easements as Legally
Described for Lot 006, Lot 007, Block 003 and Outlot F and G of Northland Business Center;
seconded by Ross and passed unanimously by those present.
Dullinger motioned to Recommend Approval for a Resolution Vacating Portions of the Right of
Way for 24th Ave NE; seconded by Ross and passed unanimously by those present.

Addition; seconded by Dullinger and passed unanimously by those present.
Old Business: Keller shared that a joint planning board was held in August to recommend approval for a
minor lot line adjustment. This was shared for those Commission members who may not have attended
that meeting.
