REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION DATE: 06/03/09 ITEM NO: 5e Department Approval: Agenda Section: PUBLIC HEARINGS Item Description: Request by City of Roseville for the vacation of public right-of-way associated with Mount Ridge Road (PROJ-0021) 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION The City of Roseville is requesting the VACATION of an undeveloped portion of Mount Ridge Road right-of-way lying south of Twin Lakes Parkway. 2.0 SUMMARY OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Planning Division recommends approval of the requested VACATION, as well conveying land the City has for road purposes. 3.0 SUMMARY OF SUGGESTED ACTION By motion, recommend approval of the requested RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION, and conveyance of land owned by the City. 4.0 BACKGROUND 4.1 As part of the upcoming Twin Lakes Infrastructure Project, the City will be constructing a portion of Twin Lakes Parkway from Cleveland Ave. to Prior Ave. as well as Mt. Ridge Road north from Twin Lakes Parkway to County Road C2. The new roads will set the transportation pattern for the Twin Lakes redevelopment area. With this new road pattern, staff has looked at the right-of-way and road easement currently in existence. In most cases, the City will be utilizing existing road right-of-way and road easements as part of the new project. However, there is a section of Mt. Ridge Road right-of-way dedicated in the 1925 Twin View plat that will no longer be necessary for the City to retain. (See Attachment B). 4.2 Along the same corridor, the City obtained an interest by virtue of a1959 quit claim deed that is 10 feet wide on each side of the dedicated Mt. Ridge right-of-way. This area is also shown on Attachment B. 4.3 Similar to the right-of-way for Mt. Ridge Road in this area, these 10-foot strips are no longer needed for transportation purposes. Staff would propose deeding these 10-foot strips back to the adjacent property owners. 4.4 City Staff has reviewed this situation and has determined that the Mt. Ridge Road rightof-way as shown on Attachment B is not needed for transportation purposes within the Twin Lakes area due to the new roads that will be constructed in 2009. In fact, the Twin Lakes AUAR, the environmental review document analyzing the impact of the Twin Lakes redevelopment, did not require this right-of-way to be improved or used. The Twin Lakes Infrastructure study, which allocated road and infrastructure costs to parcels PROJ0021_RPCA_060309 Page 1 of 2
within Twin Lakes, also did not require the use of this portion of the Mt. Ridge Road right-of-way. Because the right-of-way is no longer needed, staff feels the land is put to better use as a taxable property as part of a future development. 5.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis and comments staff recommends that the City Council 5.1 1) Vacate that portion of the Mt. Ridge Road right-of-way as shown on Attachment B and legally described in Attachment C and; 5.2 2) Deed back the two ten-foot strips in the area shown on Attachment B and legally described in Attachment C. 6.0 SUGGESTED ACTION 6.1 By motion, recommend approval of the VACATION of public road right-of-way as shown on Attachment B and legally described in Attachment C. 6.2 By motion, recommend deeding the two 10-foot strips as shown on Attachment B and legally described in Attachment C to the adjoining property owners.
