The Bloomington City Council is set to hold a public hearing on the evening of June 30, to discuss a potential re-platting of properties at three distinct locations in the city. The hearing is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and will take place at the Bloomington Civic Plaza, specifically in the Council Chambers at 1800 West Old Shakopee Road. For those unable to attend in person, options to join electronically will also be made available as per state law provisions.
The matter in focus is the proposed vacation of drainage, utility, sidewalk, and bikeway easements associated with 2925 Overlook Drive, 2935 Overlook Drive, and 2845 Overlook Circle, documented as V2025-782. The primary purpose behind this move, according to the Bloomington City Council, is to "clear title for the re-platting of the property." It is a step considered necessary to possibly reorganize the use of the land for future developments.
As the applicant for this ordinance, the City of Bloomington is actively seeking to engage the community in this process. Those looking for further details or seeking to offer input have been directed to reach out to the city's Engineering Division of the Public Works Department. They can be contacted via telephone at 952-563-4546, with accommodations for TDD at 952-563-8740 for those with hearing impairments.
Community members wishing to learn more about the proposal or express their views on the matter are encouraged to attend the public hearing. This approach aligns with the city's commitment to transparency and community participation in decisions that have the potential to shape local development. Further details and updates can be expected to be posted on the City of Bloomington's official website leading up to the hearing date.
