As part of the Bottineau Boulevard reconstruction, the south half of Cloverdale

vacate that portion. Once that portion of street is vacated, that portion can be
transferred to the adjacent property owner to the east, the developer of the
medical building project. Recommend approval of the resolution taking this
action.
2. Mayor Bowman will open a public hearing to receive public comment and Council
consideration of a resolution vacating drainage and utility easements in Clayton H.

The existing drainage easements are located in the center of the proposed
medical center redevelopment site and need to be vacated in order for a new
plat with more extensive easements to be recorded. Recommend approval of
the resolution vacating the existing easements.

corner of the Cub Foods site. Supervalu is now seeking approval to replat the
parcel into two parcels, one for the Cub store and the other for the fuel station.
Supervalu has applied for a Planned Development zoning and replat to

recommended (6-1 vote) approval of this application.
3. The Council will consider a resolution vacating Cloverdale Avenue North between
Colorado and Lakeland Avenues North, a resolution approving the preliminary and
