ANALYSIS Minor Subdivision: Resolution 01 -112 Exhibit D shows the existing lots and ownership. The Junes property currently includes two separate lots under the Junes' ownership. The Rehbein property currently is one lot. The proposed minor subdivision (Exhibit E) will do several things, including: • Split 1.67 acres from the eastern lot owned by the Junes (Parcel C). This leaves 6.18 acres to be retained by the Junes. • Split a total of 0.51 acre from both Junes lots to dedicate as additional right of way for 62nd St. (Parcel D). • Split the Rehbein lot into two lots, a 1.0 acre piece with the house (Parcel G), and an 8.71 piece (Parcel F). • Split 0.3 acre from the Rehbein lot, to dedicate as additional right of way for 62nd St. (Parcel H). Staff is recommending the following actions as well: • Combine Parcels C and F with the existing Carlson property to make one parcel. • Combine the Junes property into one parcel (Parcel B). The result of the minor subdivision will then be three parcels, one each owned by Junes, Rehbein, and Carlson. The minimum lot size under existing zoning is 10 acres. However, the zoning ordinance allows the following: Habitable single family homes constructed prior to July 13, 1992 may reduce their lot size to a minimum of one (1) acre if the balance of the property results in a parcel of ten (10) acres, or is serviced by public sewer, and it can be demonstrated by means satisfactory to the City that the division will not result in ground water, soil or other contamination which may endanger the public health. Section 3 Subd. 3.A.2.b.2) Both the Junes and Rehbein homes meet the date criterion. Both subdivisions meet the minimum one acre requirement for the house lot. The remaining land broken off from the each house lot will be incorporated into the 19 -acre West Shadow Ponds plat. Thus, the minor subdivision is contingent upon the plat because the "balance of the property" must be at least ten acres. The plat is contingent upon the minor subdivision because the additional land is needed for the plat. Staff is recommending approval of Resolution 01 -112 which approves the minor subdivision as submitted, with the condition that Parcels C and F are not buildable lots •
