comment and recommendation by the City Engineer. Also to be noted is that Parcel C which borders County Road C does not include drainage and /or utility easements along the County Road or the east property line of the lot to which it is to be conveyed. The need for such easements should also be subject to comment and recommendation by the City Engineer. Park Dedication. Recognizing that the creation of a new single family lot may impact the City's park and trail system, Parcel B is subject to the City's park dedication requirements. As a condition of subdivision approval, such dedication requirements (cash contribution) must be satisfied. RECOMMENDATION The proposed lot split is consistent with the regulations of both the Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance. Both lots exceed minimum R -1 District lot area and width requirements and satisfy (or demonstrate an ability to satisfy) setback requirements. Of primary issue with the proposed lot split is the allowance of a new access along County Road C. With the understanding that the County will allow such access, Planning Staff recommends approval of the simple subdivision as proposed, subject to the following conditions: 1. Driveway access to Parcel B from County Road C shall be allowed provided a driveway turnaround area is constructed to eliminate vehicles backing onto the County Road. 2. The City Engineer provide comment and recommendation in regard to proposed drainage and utility easements. 3. Park dedication requirements of the City (applicable to Parcel B) shall be satisfied. 4. The subdivision shall be recorded with the Ramsey County Recorder's office. Documentation containing proof of such recording shall be submitted to the City. pc: Kathy Glanzer Steve Westerhaus Patrice Larson, 10350 Jody Avenue Court North, Stillwater, MN 55082 3
