H.ADJOURN 7:28 P.M. 3 of 18 ITEM FOR DISCUSSION City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota __________________________ Item Public Hearing to Consider the Subdivision of Community Park Land Description The City is in the process of purchasing the northern 15.5 acres of PIN 162923320057 from the University of Minnesota. This land is the home of Community Park, which the City has leased from the U of M since 1973. With the lease expiring in 2024, both parties have interest in the City acquiring the property permanently so that we may rebuild the building at Community Park, which has fallen in to a state of disrepair. To facilitate the sale, the land needs to be subdivided. The process for subdividing existing lots is outlined in FHMC Sec. 109-26 – Dividing Existing Lots. A public hearing must be held by the Planning Commission before submitting a report summarizing recommendations and rationale to City Council. As part of the process for advertising a public hearing, staff is required to notify all properties within 350’ of the exterior boundary of the subject property, however as a general rule, the city notifies all properties within 500’ of the exterior boundary of the subject property. In addition, a notice of the time, place, and purpose of the hearing must be published in the official city newspaper at least ten days prior to the date of the hearing. The proposed subdivision and purchase of land is in conformity with the City of Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan which was adopted by City Council in January 2020, as resolved by the Planning Commission in October 2022. Budget Impact None.

Sec. 109-26 - Dividing existing lots (a)Procedure for dividing existing lots. (1)Preapplication. Prior to the filing of an application for conditional approval of the proposed subdivision of an existing tract of land, either by division of an existing lot, or metes and bounds description of an existing tract, the subdivider shall submit to the city council plans and data provided in section 109-25(a)(1). This step does not require formal application, fee or filing of plat with the city council. (2)Submission of sketch plans. Such sketch plans will be considered as submitted for preliminary and informal discussion between the subdivider and the planning commission. Submission of a subdivision sketch plan shall not constitute formal filing of a plat. (3)Conformity to design standards; modifications. As far as may be practical on the basis of a sketch plan, the planning commission will informally advise the subdivider as promptly as possible of the extent to which the proposed subdivision conforms to the design standards of this chapter and will discuss possible plan modifications necessary to secure conformance. (b)Conditional approval. (1)Preliminary survey; supplementary material. On reaching conclusions informally as recommended above regarding his or her general program and objectives, the subdivider shall cause to be prepared a preliminary survey, together with improvement plans and other supplementary material as specified in section 109-27. (2)Submission of material; application. Six copies of the preliminary survey and supplementary material specified shall be submitted to the administrator with written application for conditional approval together with an application fee for such submittal at least 14 days prior to the planning commission meeting at which it is to be considered. (3)Engineering report. The engineering consultant shall submit his or her written report concerning the engineering aspects of the project to the planning commission at least seven days prior to the meeting at which the plat is to be considered. (4)Compliance report. The planning consultant shall examine the plat for compliance with this chapter and other ordinances of the city and the city's comprehensive plan and shall submit a written report to the planning commission at least seven days prior to the meeting at which the plat is to be considered. (5)Public hearing. A public hearing shall be held by the planning commission after the filing of the preliminary survey. This hearing shall be held if possible, at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the planning commission. A notice of the time, place, and purpose of the hearing shall be published in the official city newspaper at least ten days prior to the date of the hearing. In addition, the city shall notify, in writing, the subdivider and each owner of affected property and property situated wholly or partly within 350 feet of the exterior boundary of the subject property. 6 of 18 (6)Recommendation report. After consideration of all hearings, reports, comments, and suggestions, the planning commission shall within 30 days after the public hearing submit to the city council, in writing, a report summarizing its recommendations and rationale concerning the preliminary survey.

One copy shall be returned to the subdivider and the other retained by the city council. (9)Conditional approval not indicative of final approval. Conditional approval of a preliminary survey shall not constitute approval of the final survey. Rather, it shall be deemed an expression of approval to the layout submitted on the preliminary survey as a guide to the preparation of the final survey which will be submitted for approval of the city council and for recording upon fulfillment of the requirements of these regulations and the conditions of the conditional approval, if any. (c)Final survey. (1)Conformity to preliminary survey. The final survey shall conform substantially to the preliminary survey as approved, and, if desired by the subdivider, it may constitute only that part of the approved preliminary survey which he or she proposes to record and develop at the time, provided, however, that such portion conforms to all requirements of these regulations. (2)Application for approval. Application for approval of the final survey shall be submitted in writing to the city council at least 30 days prior to the meeting at which it is to be considered. (3)Final survey requirements. Ten copies of the final survey and other exhibits required for approval shall be prepared as specified in section 109-27(b), and shall be submitted to the city council within six months after approval of the preliminary survey; otherwise such approval shall become null and void unless an extension of time is applied for and granted by the city council. (4)Public hearing; approval; disapproval. At the discretion of the city council, a public hearing may be held. Notice of said hearing shall be published in the official city newspaper at least ten days prior to the date of the hearing.
