survey, a public hearing at the February Planning commission meeting, and then
to City Council for approval. Linehan pointed out that the lot will be slightly larger
than in the historical lease language and would remain zoned P1. Paynter
commented that the Commission may want to simplify the procedure for this
process moving forward. Linehan also discussed the City’s preliminary plans for
the future of the Park, including demolition of the main building in 2023 and
reconstruction of the northern portion of the park in 2024.

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.

Development Coordinator
Action(s)
Requested
Staff requests the Planning Commission hold a public hearing to consider the
subdivision of Community Park land and hold a vote to recommend the
subdivision to City Council.
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. Copies of the engineer's and planning
consultant's reports shall also be forwarded to the city council along with the
preliminary survey and application.
(7)Approval; disapproval. Following review of the preliminary survey and other material
submitted for conformity thereof to the existing regulations and ordinances of the city,
and negotiations with the subdivider on changes deemed advisable and the kind and
extent of improvements to be made by him or her, the council shall, within 30 days, act
thereon as submitted or modified, and if approved, shall refer the preliminary survey to
the planning commission for its approval or disapproval, and if disapproved, the
planning commission and city council shall express its disapproval and the reasons
therefor.
(8)Action of city council noted. The action of the city council shall be noted on two
copies of the preliminary survey, referenced and attached to any conditions determined.
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. At such hearing all persons
interested shall be heard and the city council may thereafter approve or disapprove the
survey. Such approval or disapproval shall be given not more than 60 days after the
filing of any survey with a formal request for its approval. The grounds for any refusal
7 of 18
to approve a survey shall be set forth in the proceedings of the city council and reported
to the person applying for such approval. Surveys after approval, may then be recorded
as now provided by law and further described in the city's Administrative Procedures
Manual.

requirements of the plan. It is the intention of staff to include other
commissions, when necessary, to guide the discussion and to uncover
expertise to inform the Planning Commission.
The goals of this discussion are:
1. Develop the small group
2. Set a rough timeline for completion of review
The goals of the small group will include:
3. Build a policy/goal/ordinance list from the 2040 Comprehensive plan
4. Consider flexibility
5. Consider community engagement
6. Consider possible updates to the Comprehensive Plan (remove errors)
In 2022, this was discussed and started at a Planning Commission workshop,
however with recent staff turnover, it was decided to reset the planning on
this.
