• • • COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 27, 1997 barn on 8.36 acres. The property is zoned Rural and is located immediately west of the Colonial Woods Development, north of 62nd Street and south of Birchwood Acres. West Shadow Lake Drive currently dead -ends at the north property line. Ms. Wyland advised the request is to provide three separate parcels. Parcel A would be 13.41 acres in size and dedicated to the City of Lino Lakes for park purposes. The City Park Board reviewed this request and recommend approval of this park dedication. The Park Comprehensive Plan indicates park area in this location being added to the existing park land in the Park Grove and Birchwood Acres subdivisions. The plan is that this park dedication will be credited to Mr. Carlson for his future development known as Miller's South Glen which was approved by the P & Z at their February meeting. The actual credit to Mr. Carlson will be for only the upland portion of this site or 3.94 upland acres. Parcel B is 8.36 acres and planned to be retained by the Junes' as their homesite. Parcel C will be 8.25 acres in size and held by Mr. Carlson for future development purposes. As previously mentioned, this parcel of property has access to West Shadow Lake Drive which is ultimately planned to be extended through this to 62nd Street. Utility services are also available at this location. Ms. Wyland advised staff has reviewed this request and recommends approval since the proposed subdivision will provide park land as outlined in the Park Comprehensive Plan, preserve acreage for future development off West Shadow Lake Drive, and maintain the existing Junes homesite. The Park Board has agreed to accept the park land dedication for Miller's South Glen plat and additionally credit Mr. Carlson for future development in this area. Also, the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously voted to approve this minor subdivision request. Council Member Bergeson noted in this case, it is theoretically possible to consider this request twice (with another parcel split from the homestead in the future). He asked if this second downsizing is prohibited. Ms. Wyland stated it is not prohibited if access to utilities is provided to the remaining piece. She explained the Junes want to keep eight acres because they have horses and want to be certain they have adequate acerage. Council Member Bergeson pointed out this split fits within the ordinance but it does not guarantee the proposed residential development. Ms. Wyland concurred and advised Mr. Carlson is aware of this. Council Member Lyden inquired regarding the spirit and intent of Ordinance 93 - 18. He stated if the intent is unclear, perhaps it should be reviewed. Ms. Wyland advised the intent is to allow existing families to remain in their home and sell the balance of their property. Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the minor subdivision, Rick Carlson/Junes Property, 599 - 62nd Street, with the condition that Parcel A be dedicated to the City of Lino Lakes for park purposes as approved by the Park Board. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Landers declared a short recess at 8:29 P.M. The meeting was reconvened at 8:42 P.M. 1 \G1 12
