• • AGENDA ITEM V C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Kay Wyland DATE OF MEETING: April 12, 2000 TOPIC: Minor Subdivision, Rick Carlson, 599 62nd Street (Junes Property) and 607 62nd Street (Rehbein Property) DESCRIPTION: The property owners at 599 and 607 62nd Street are requesting a minor subdivision to allow their homes to be split from the balance of their property which has been purchased by Mr. Carlson and is intended for future development. The property is currently Zoned Rural and guided for low density sewered residential in the Draft Comprehensive Plan. In May of 1997 the City Council approved a minor subdivision for the Junes property at 599 62nd Street that split the parcel into three pieces. Parcel A was dedicated to the City for Park as a part of the Miller's South Glen Plat with some park dedication credit for future development. This park land was added to Birchwood Acres Park. Parcel B was retained by the Junes and contains their existing homestead. Parcel C was retained by Mr. Rick Carlson for future development. Following this action, Mr. Carlson secured a purchase agreement with the Rehbeins at 607 62nd Street (Parcels E & F) and proceeded to plat that property and the Junes Parcel C into West Shadow Ponds. That development was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board and continued at the November 23rd, 1998 City Council meeting. Mr. Carlson subsequently requested a delay in Council action which is still pending. This minor subdivision request is intended to finalize purchase agreements between Mr. Carlson and the Junes and Rehbeins. The resulting parcels, new C and F, would be combined with the 1997 Parcel C and held for future development (West Shadow Ponds). Parcels B and E would remain as existing homesteads as allowed within the Zoning Ordinance, Section 3. Subd. 3., 2.b.2 which reads, in part: "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...." Parcel B is 6.69 acres with a considerable amount of wetland. According to the ordinance, parcels of property in the Rural zoning district must contain at least 20% upland area. This parcel contains 1.29 acres of upland and 5.4 acres of wetland. We believe the .04 acre shortage in upland is insignificant in this case. Parcel E contains 1 acre with more than 20% upland.
