She commented over the weekend, an adjacent property owner (16916 Weaver Lake Drive) left her a message requesting to speak at the meeting. Jess Wadleigh, 16916 Weaver Lake Drive, asked if this matter could be tabled until a survey could be completed on her property lines. She explained she moved into her home two months ago and was unaware that her home was partially sitting on city property. She noted she had filed a claim with her title insurance and this has been accepted. She understood this process could take up to 30 days and a surveyor would be sent out. She indicated she was working as quickly as possible to get a surveyor to her property and requested the Council consider tabling action on this item until the survey was complete. Councilmember Hanson noted the 60-day deadline for agency action related to the Neal's Addition short plat ended on September 10, 2021. She anticipated the city would run into a Minnesota State Statute 15.99 Time Deadline for Agency Action concern if this item were tabled without consent of the property owner. She questioned if the proposed survey would sway the Council's decision in any way for the Neal's Addition Short Plat. City Attorney Templin explained the short answer would be no, noting the Neal's application was in compliance with all City Code requirements. He reported the City Council would be addressing the easement vacation in two weeks. He stated the city has a clean legal description for the easement and its location.

He reported this easement came to the city's attention through the short plat request which led staff to recommend the easement be vacated. Councilmember Hanson clarified the survey was more of a private matter. City Attorney Templin stated this was the case. Ms. Wadleigh explained the Planning Commission noted several inconsistencies with the easement and its location, which raised concern to her. She feared the property lines were incorrect and asked that the city give her more time to complete a survey. City Attorney Templin advised there was a State Statute that requires the city to act on a land use application within a certain amount of time. He reported the city was running up against this deadline and unless the applicants for the short plat were willing to extend the timeline, the city does not have an option but to make a decision. He explained the Council could not deny the request because the short plat met all of the city's requirements. He stated if the Council were to not make a decision by the deadline, it would be automatically approved. He reiterated that the easement was a separate issue that would be taken up by the Council at the September 20, 2021 meeting. Mayor Steffenson recommended the property line concerns be addressed prior to issuing a building permit for the Neal's. He noted action on the easement could be tabled to allow for the survey to be completed. City Attorney Templin reported action on the easement could be tabled as this request was not under the 60-day timeline.
