WHEREAS, VC South Mall LLC ("Petitioner") has petitioned to vacate a portion of the alley abutting Lots 12, 13 and 14, Block 17, Summit Park Addition to Saint Paul; and
WHEREAS, the City of Saint Paul Department of Planning and Economic Development, citing Legislative Code 69.502, recommends denial of the vacation petition because the vacation would create a less than minimal alley design; so, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED, in accordance with Chapter 130 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code, that upon the petition of the Petitioner, as documented in Office of Financial Services’ Vacation File Number 03-2019, the public property described and depicted in Exhibit “A” is hereby to be vacated and discontinued as public property and, subject to the following conditions, the utility easements within said public property are hereby released in accordance with Section 130.05(3):

If relocation of the facilities is required by the Petitioner for or arising from this vacation, the Petitioner, its successors and assigns, shall assume all costs of relocation of said facilities.
2. An easement shall be retained over, under and across the proposed vacated alley on behalf of Xcel Energy for existing facilities. If relocation of the facilities is required by the Petitioner for or arising from this vacation, the Petitioner, its successors and assigns, shall assume all costs of relocation of said facilities.
3. The vacated area would revert back to the City of Saint Paul if the exisiting building is demolished or any improvements take place that would negate the need for the property.
4. The Petitioner, its successors and assigns shall pay $1,200.00 to the City of Saint Paul as an administrative fee for this vacation which is due and payable within 60 days of the effective date of this resolution.
