The property was originally about nine acres but was cut in two by Apollo Drive. The result is one large tax parcel divided by a road easement. The application is to split the property into three lots which will better reflect the real situation. Land on the north side of Apollo Drive will be split into two lots, one 1.47 acres and one 1.5 of acres. Land on the south of Apollo will be a separate parcel of 4.1 acres. The VFW will sell the 1.5 -acre lot to Lino Lakes Dentistry, which wants to build a new office building on the site in the near future. The goal is to sell the other lots in the future. ANALYSIS The site is zoned GB General Business. The minimum lot area is 20,000 sf, with a minimum lot width of 100 ft. As shown on the survey, there will be 1.47 acres remaining on the north and 4.1 acres on the south. Both have adequate area and road frontage. The City and Anoka County have a joint powers agreement regarding access management on Apollo Drive. To comply with this agreement, we are requiring a joint driveway on the new parcels on the north of Apollo Drive. This driveway easement is shown on the survey. We also are requiring a shared driveway agreement between the two parcels. On February 13, 2001, the Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of the minor subdivision with two conditions: 1) a revised survey document is provided indicated a shared access drive with the piece to the west and 2) a shared driveway agreement is provided for the access drive. This agenda item was postponed at the March 12 City Council meeting because we had not received the shared driveway agreement.. We expect to have it for the March 26 meeting.
