HomeMy WebLinkAboutMisc Backlog - 10/23/1989, COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 23, 1989 parcel would be reduced to 1.06 acres. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the request and recommended that a variance be required for the creation of an undersized lot. They approved both the minor subdivision and variance requests with a stipulation that a revised certificate of survey be prepared showing two utility easements. This would prevent a new house from being located on an easement and when sewer does become available, the east lot: can he divided into three regular city sized lots. Mr. Reinert moved to approve Planning and Zoning application No. 89-48 contingent upon the applicants preparing a revised certificate of survey showing two twenty (20) foot easements for utilities and drainage dividing the east parcel into three 76.6 foot lots and the newly created 25 foot parcel to be combined with the western parcel. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bisel moved to approve Planning and Zoning application No. 89-49 for a variance for an undersized parcel of property located at 7790 Lake Drive. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. LIAISON REPORTS Park Board, Andy Neal - Mr. Neal told the Council that on Thursday he and Mr. Ray Johnson met with the Anoka County Supervisors and they are proposing to build an ice rink in East Bethel and they also said they have enough money to build a covered ice rink in Lino Lakes. Mr. Neal relayed this information to the City Administrator. He talked to County Commissioner Margaret Langfeld and she says that she does not know anything about this. The people at this meeting agreed that the best location for this covered ice rink would be the Regional Park. This facility would include parking and could also be used to soccer in the summertime. Mr. Neal explained that Mr. Nissen was appointed the chairman of the Chain of Lakes Regional Board. Mr. Neal also noted that in 1989 36,000 additional rounds of golf were played over 1988. This might support the need for a road tax on each round of golf played at the Chomonix Course. There was additional discussion at the Chain of Lake Regional Board meeting regarding the possibility of the Chomonix Golf Club becoming a cross country ski shop. The entrance to the Regional Park was also discussed. The bridge on Aqua Lane will cost approximately $120,000. This entire project is on hold until an archeology study is completed. At the meeting Chain of Lake Regional Board meeting, the City of Circle Pines made a remark regarding contracting with the City of Lino Lakes for park services. They have lost their PAGE 11 COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 23, 1989 Mayor Benson referred St. Paul newspaper article that; appeared in the paper about two weeks ago. This article dealt with a contract between Ramsey County, Falcon Height, Lauderdale and Roseville. He asked the Administrator to get a copy of this article so that it could be given to the City of Centerville because Ramsey County was requesting a sizable amount of money from each city for their services. This could be used as a comparison. Mayor Benson suggested that Lino Lakes prepare a set plan wits. costs. He asked that the Administrator and the Chief prepare a presentation to be brought hack to the Council for their input. Mr. Reinert suggested that a combination of Option #1 and Option #2 would be more appropriate. Mr. Bisel told the Council that White Bear Township just went through this process and he asked that this data also he available. Mr. Reinert moved to approve a combination of Option #1 and Option #2 and have the Chief and City Administrator prepare a proposal and set a work session with the entire Council on the matter. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. This work session will be help prior to the next Council meeting. PLANNER'S REPORT - JOHN MILLER Minor Subdivision for Tom Vail for Property Located in Ulmer's Rice Lake Addition - Mr. Miller explained that is a request to split a one acre lot by dividing the lot in half and then splitting the back half into to lots thereby creating three lots. The Planning and Zoning Board has reviewed this request and has recommended approval since it meets all the requirements of the minor subdivision policy. Mr. Bisel asked if the lot could be split into four lots. Mr. Miller said not until sewer and water is available to the front of the lot. At this time the front portion with Mr. Vail's home will be served by a septic system and well. Mr. Stahlberg noted that this requests meets the two out of three criteria in the present minor subdivision policy. Mr. Bisel moved to approve the request in Planning and Zoning Board application No. 89-47. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Minor Subdivision for Brad and Helen Elledge for Property located at Lake Drive and Oak Lane - -M-r. Millerexplained thaf the Elledges own two parcels at the above location. They have sold the west parcel fronting on Lake Drive and after a certificate of survey was completed it was found that the septic system encroaches on the eastern parcel. This request is to transfer title to 25 feet of the eastern parcel to the western parcel. This would increase the total area of the western parcel to 89/100's of an acre. The eastern PAGE 10 AGENDA ITEM: 12B STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Miller, City Planner DATE: October 17, 1989 TOPIC: Request for a Minor Subdivision by Brad and Helen Elledge, Application #89-48. Variance #89-49. Background: The applicants own a trapezoidal parcel of land located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Lake Drive and Oak Lane. There are however two legal descriptions for the parcel. As the attached certificate of survey shows dwelling, garage, kennel and other accessory buildings are located on the west side of the parcel. The entire parcel, which covers an area of approximately two acres, has been offered for sale and a buyer has been found for the western part of the property. However, as the correspondence from Jeff Joyer shows the applicants are requesting to transfer a 25 foot wide strip of land from the eastern legally described parcel to the western parcel. According to Joyer, "The purpose of this request is to eliminate a septic encroachment along the east line and provide a more suitable back yard for the existing home on Tract 1." It would also move the kennel and one accessory building onto the western parcel. In terms of area the eastern or vacant legally described parcel would be reduced in area from 1.18 acres to 1.06 acre. By my calculations (I'm not sure the certificate of survey is accurately prepared), the western legally described parcel would have its area increased from .79 acre to .89 acre. A variance is necessary for the creation of an undersized parcel. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the requests on October llth. The members recommended approval with contingencies as shown below. Options: 1. Approve a Minor Subdivision for Helen and Brad Elledge for property located at 7790 Lake Drive, Application #89-48 contingent upon the 1) applicants preparing a revised certificate of survey showing two 20 foot easements for utilities and drainage dividing the 64Qi parcel into three 76.6 foot lots and 2) the newly created 25 foot parcel be combined with the western parcel. 2. Approve a variance for an undersized parcel for property located at 7790 Lake Drive, Application #89-49. 3. Table the requests for further study 4. Deny the requests. Recommendation: As 1 noted in the staff report to the Planning and Zoning Board these actions will "legalize reality". Options 1 and 2 should be implemented. AGENDA STEM 7 0" MEMORANDUM TO: Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board FROM: John Miller, City Planner DATE: October 3, 1989 SUBJECT: Request for Minor Subdivision from Brad and Helen Elledge, Application, #89-48. Variance request, Application #89-49. Background: The applicants own a trapezoidal parcel of land located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Lake Drive and Oak Lane. There are however two legal descriptions for the parcel. As the attached certificate of survey shows dwelling, garage, kennel_ and other accessory buildings are located on the west side of the parcel. The entire parcel, which covers an area of approximately two acres, has been offered for sale and a buyer has been found for the western part of the property.

By my calculations (I'm not sure the certificate of survey is accurately prepared), the western legally described parcel would have its area increased from .79 acre to .89 acre. Comprehensive Plan: The 1987 comprehensive plan shows the land planned for expansion residential uses. This includes large --lot unsewered residential uses. It is the intent of the plan however that parcels in this area be utilized in a manner that will not preclude more intense residential development in the future. Zoning/Subdivision/Park Dedication Ordinances: The land is currently located in the city S -R suburban residential zoning district. The minimum lot size in that district for newly created parcels is 2 1/2 acres. Neither of the two parcels meets that requirement either before or after the proposed minor subdivision. A variance is required for creation of undersized parcels. No park dedication is required as no new buildable parcels are being created. In theory anyway the owners could have sold off the eastern part of their property for a dwelling as it meets the requirements of having a separate legal description, i.e. it's a lot of record. Professional Opinion: It might be argued that by reducing the vacant parcel from 255 feet to 230 feet, the city would create a situation where the vacant land could be subdivided into only two 80 foot wide parcels instead of three. This would not be good use of the land for either the city or the landowner. The other side of the coin is that some might must be given to the present situation and that changing the dimensions of the parcels works to "legalize reality." In addition it could be argued that "the two -of -three rule" could be applied to create three future lots measuring 76.6 x 202 feet. My recommendation is to recognize the real world and accommodate it. Recommended Action: Motion to recommend to the city council approval of a minor subdivision for Brad and Helen Elledge for property located at 7790 Lake Drive, Application #89-48. Motion to recommend to the city council approval of a variance, Application #89-49 for Brad and Helen Elledge to create an undersized lot in a suburban residential zoning district; incorporating a existing drainfield, existing kennel, and existing accessory building with the property on which the dwelling (principal structure) is located.
