    Sec. 2. The City of Richfield has initiated the vacation of the Vacated Area.

    Sec. 3. The Vacated Area is occupied by a water main. The City needs to continue to utilize the Vacated Area for the continued operation and maintenance of the water main. The proposed vacation of the Vacated Area therefore will not adversely affect the ability of the City to maintain, repair or replace any utility facilities that may be located within the Vacated Area.

    Sec. 4. The Council finds that, upon recording of a permanent utility easement, there will no longer be a public need for a right-of-way easement over the Vacated Area.

    Sec. 5. The easement over the Vacated Area, as described in Section 1 of this Ordinance, is hereby vacated, reserving, however, a utility easement.

    Sec. 6. The vacation will be effective 30 days following publication or at such time as Gramercy Corporation holds title to properties at 710 Lake Shore Drive and 6724 Lyndale Avenue that are adjacent to the Vacated Area, whichever date is later.
