STAFF ORIGINATOR: DATE: TOPIC: VOTE REQUIRED: BACKGROUND: AGENDA 1'i'1:M 6E Mary Kay Wyland October 25, 1999 City of Lino Lakes (Montain/Molitor Property), Minor Subdivision to facilitate future community recreation complex Simple majority The City of Lino Lakes is processing this minor subdivision as the applicant on behalf of the Montain's and the Molitor's. The minor subdivision is required to facilitate the City's purchase of property for a future community recreation complex at the south east corner of Birch Street and Centerville Road. The property in question is zoned Rural and indicated as such on the existing Land Use Plan. The proposal is to purchase approximately 60 acres of property from the Montain family leaving a 10 acre parcel containing their homestead. Additionally, the City would purchase five (5) of the 6.6 acre Molitor parcel. The balance of 1.6 acres would be added to their existing homesite of 1.4 acres for a total of 3 acres. Right -of -way for the future reconstruction of Centerville Road and Birch Street will be dedicated from the Montain parcel to Anoka County. The City is not requiring dedication of right -of -way from the Molitor parcel due to the fact that the property to be split does not front on Centerville Road. Staff has reviewed this request and would recommend approval. The Planning and Zoning Board gave unanimous support of the proposed recreation complex at their September P & Z Meeting. The City Council is schedule to act on the purchase agreement for this site at its October 25th meeting. For Council information, we would comment that the Montain site will contain the required 10 acres for a rural parcel As you are aware, there is a provision in the ordinance that would allow a minimum of one (1) acre for the homesite if the balance of the site is 10 acres or more Regarding the Molitor site, the existing homesite is on 1.4 acres. The addition of the remaining 1.6 acres will provide a parcel more consistent with the adjoining properties and with the intent of the Rural zoning district. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of this minor subdivision with the following conditions on a 7/0 vote at their 10/13/99 meeting.
