City Council Meeting Zehowski Minor Subdivision August 26, 2002 Buildable Area Lino Lakes City Ordinance Section 3, subd. 3.B.1.b requires parcels requiring a minimum of 10 acres or more to have a minimum of 20% upland area. Much of this property is wetland, and as a result, it was necessary for the applicant to delineate wetland boundaries. Results of that delineation indicate that both lots meet the minimum upland requirement, with Parcel A at 51.7% upland and Parcel B at 28.1% upland. Septic Issues Soils tests confirm that there are soils on both the proposed parcels capable of accommodating a septic system, with enough room for both primary and secondary sites. Property Boundaries/Encroachment Issues The western property boundary of the parcel is currently being confirmed, as it appears some of the outbuildings belonging to the property are actually sited on the neighboring property. City Attorney Bill Hawkins has advised that such issues should not interfere with the processing of the application for a Minor Subdivision, and should be handled as a separate issue. CONCLUSION The proposed Minor Subdivision would result in two lots: Parcel A, although under 10 acres, conforms to Section 3, subd. 3.A.2.b.2 of the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance, and otherwise meets all the minimum lot requirements for property in a Rural zone; Parcel B meets all minimum lot requirements for property in a Rural zone. As a result, staff would recommend approval of the Minor Subdivision with the following conditions: 1.) A park dedication fee of $1,665, to be paid prior to the certification and recording of the Minor Subdivision. 2.) The applicant shall dedicate to the City drainage and utility easements measuring ten feet in width along the front and rear property lines, five feet in width along the side property lines, and covering all ponding and wetland areas. Such dedication shall be in the form of a Quit Claim Deed, per the City attorney. 3.) The applicant shall dedicate to the City a 33 -foot wide permanent public right -of- way adjacent to Oak Lane. Such dedication shall be in the form of a Quit Claim Deed, per the City attorney. •
