Amending Res Ph 12-185 vacating alley right-of-way on property owned by John Wall at 180 Grotto Street South.
Body
WHEREAS, on June 20, 2012 the City Council adopted RES PH 12-185, attached hereto as Exhibit A, vacating a section of alley right-of-way (the "City Parcel") located on property owned by John Wall ("Petitioner") at 180 Grotto Street South ("Petitioner's Property") and described as: All that part of the alley being the Northerly 20 feet of Lot 25, Block 2, J. C. Stout's Addition to Summit Park, Ramsey County, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, said vacation was subject to the following condition: "a) the dedication by Petitioner of a new alley in the proposed plat, 'Crocus New Hill Addition,' from the west line of the existing alley extending west to Grotto Street South, and the recording of said proposed plat with the Ramsey County Office of the Recorder and/or Registrar of Titles"; and
WHEREAS, because there is a need to revise the plat to eliminate the dedication of a new alley, there now is a corresponding need to amend said vacation resolution by deleting the aforementioned condition and replacing it with the following:
"a) the dedication by Petitioner of a Declaration of Easements affecting Petitioner's Property to dedicate and grant various access, utility and stormwater facilities easements and provide for the installation and operation of stormwater facilities for the benefit of the City and the lots to be created in said revised plat, and the recording of said Declaration of Easements with the Ramsey County Office of the Recorder and/or Registrar of Titles"; and
WHEREAS, the Petitioner seeks to acquire the City Parcel, which is owned in fee by the City of Saint Paul ("City") and is necessary for Petitioner's residential redevelopment project; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined there is no longer a public purpose for owning the City Parcel, and wishes to convey same to Petitioner pursuant to Sec. 51.01 (7) of the Saint Paul Administrative Code; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Council do hereby approve said replacement condition in RES PH 12-185, and authorize and direct the proper city officials to accept said Declaration of Easements in a form and content substantially as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized and directed to convey the City Parcel to Petitioner by Quit Claim Deed; and be it finally
RESOLVED, that all other terms and conditions set forth in RES PH 12-185 shall remain in full force and effect.
