MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 13, 2017 - 2 - The Associate Planner reported that the City Engineer reviewed the survey and the six foot drainage and utility easements being dedicated around the perimeters meet the requirement, but did recommend that a grading plan be submitted to verify that the drainage from each lot will be contained within the easements prior to issuing a new home building permit for parcel B. She stated that the Public Works Director indicated that there are currently two water and sewer connections to this property. She noted that a condition of the approval is that Parcel B be subject to the City’s park dedication fee of $3,500 payable at the time of construction. Richard Demont, 177 Demont Avenue East, clarified that the person buying the vacant parcel will be responsible for the building permit and city fees. There were no comments from the public. Sandell recommended approval of the subdivision of 177 Demont Avenue East into two single family residential parcels, as presented and subject to the conditions in the staff report. Motion seconded by Kwapick. Motion carried 6 – 0. The Associate Planner stated that Paul Johnson has applied for a simple subdivision of 2586 Spruce Street from one parcel into two single family lots. She explained that the property is currently occupied by one single family dwelling with two detached accessory buildings. A fire occurred in 2016 which resulted in the death of the homeowner and caused significant damage to the house. The City has been waiting for the property to complete the probate court process in order for a family member to be given title to the property. The Associate Planner stated that the applicant has submitted a permit to Ramsey County Department of Health for the demolition of all three structures, and he has indicated that if the subdivision is approved, two new single-family dwellings will be built. The Associate Planner stated that the new parcels meet the lot size requirements, and the survey shows six foot drainage and utility easements. She noted that the Public Works Director indicated that there is only one sewer and water connection available to the south lot, so the owner will need to install another utility connection for the north lot. There were no comments from the public. SUBDIVISION: 1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOT INTO 2 LOTS AT 2586 SPRUCE; APPLICANT: PAUL JOHNSTON
