COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 14, 1995 Parcel G consists of the north 290.50 feet by 251 feet of the Matushak property at 291 Elm Street. This parcel of property is a separate lot of record and does not need to be subdivided to facilitate the sale. It is being mentioned now for informational purposes only. The School District is working with Mr. and Mrs. Allie at 351 Elm Street to purchase their entire site. If a satisfactory agreement cannot be reached, the School District has indicated they will initiate condemnation proceedings to acquire the site which is critical to their proposed expansion plans. The property to be subdivided is zoned Single Family Residential (R-1) and indicated as single family residential on the 1990 Lino Lakes Land Use Map. The property owned by the School District is zoned Public/Semi-Public (PSP) and adjoins the parcels to be subdivided. At some time in the future, should the bond issue be approved, the School District will be required to rezone the newly acquired parcels and obtain a conditional use permit to allow the construction of the new school. Feasibility studies are currently in process addressing traffic, sewer, water, roadway and assessment issues as they pertain to the School District site. Utilities will be available to service the new school building, however, they may not be available for the properties along Elm Street. These properties do contain adequate space for alternate on-site systems should the existing systems fail. The smallest lot created from this proposed subdivision will be 264 feet deep by 100 feet wide. This is slightly larger than four (4) existing parcels in the immediate vicinity that are 208.56 feet by 100 feet wide. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this request on August 9, 1995 and approved the minor subdivision request for parcels A, B, C, D and E with the following conditions: 1. The narrow strip of property to the east on Parcel B should be added to the parcel directly south of it to avoid confusion should the piece be split at a future date. These lots are currently two (2) separate parcels of record owned by Mr. Thoeny. 2. The Park Dedication fee shall be waived on this minor subdivision. The Planning and Zoning Board and staff feel justified in waiving this requirement as the School District will be providing athletic fields in conjunction with the school construction. Also, the Park Dedication ordinance does not specifically address PSP zoned property at this time. 3. This subdivision creates lots without public street frontage and as such approval of this minor subdivision should be contingent on Parcels A, C, E, and G being combined with the balance of the School District property. A revised survey should be provided that illustrates the new School District boundaries to be recorded with the County. PAGE 4
