Assignment And Conveyance Of Easements From Dakota County To City Of Eagan
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize the assignment and conveyance of a highway easement from Dakota County to the City of Eagan (Attachment: Location Map).
SUMMARY
To promote a safe and efficient transportation system throughout the County and the region, Dakota County reconstructed County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 28 in 1990 (County Project 28-07). The reconstruction project included the realignment of Heritage Lane with Blue Cross Road along CSAH 28 (Yankee Doodle Road). The County acquired a highway easement recorded as document number 929254 to realign Heritage Lane, a city street. (Attachment: Highway Easement Map)
This action came about from a recent review by the Plat Commission for the proposed plat of YANKEE HERITAGE 28, located along Heritage Lane and CSAH 28. This assignment would transfer the easement to the City of Eagan for that portion of Heritage Lane, which the City has agreed to accept.
RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
Staff recommends assignment and conveyance of highway easement document no. 929254 and authorizing the County Board Chair to assign this easement to the City of Eagan.
