The property is split in two by Apollo Drive and Zoned GB, General Business. It is guided for commercial development in both the current and draft Land Use Plan. The VFW has recently sold a portion of the property to Lino Lakes Dentistry and would like to split the north side of the site into two parcels containing 1.5 acres for the dentists and 1.47 acres for future development. Staff anticipates submittal of a site plan review for an office building on this site some time in the near future. The VFW, however, is anxious to close on the property prior to this site plan review, thus the minor subdivision request. ANALYSIS The submittal complies with the GB zoning standards as follows: Access to the parcel will be provided from Apollo Drive. The City has a Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County that limits direct access to Apollo Drive to "not more than one (1) access on each side of the roadway in each 600 feet of length...". This agreement mandates one (1) access on the north side of the VFW property along with a shared driveway agreement with the parcel to the west. In review of this request staff would recommend approval with the following conditions: 1. A revised survey document is provided indicating a shared access drive with the parcel to the west. 2. A shared driveway agreement is provided for the access drive. The City approved a site plan/conditional use permit for the VFW on their site at 7868 Lake Drive. To facilitate that development, the VFW asked for and received approval of a MUSA Land Exchange authorizing the transfer of 2.25 acres of MUSA from this site on Required Proposed Lot size minimum 20,000 sq.ft. East - 65,340 sq.ft. & West - 64,203 sq. ft. Lot width minimum 100 feet East - 418.6 feet & West — 285 feet Access to the parcel will be provided from Apollo Drive.
