REQUEST DETAILS
The City of Lake Elmo has received a request from Sunde Land Surveying, acting on behalf of United Land, LLC, for a minor subdivision to split Outlot A of the Eagle Point Business Park into two lots. The purpose of the proposed minor subdivision is to facilitate the transfer of 4.974 acres of
land from United Land to Bremer Bank, which will leave 7.399 acres of the original 12.373 lot as a
separate parcel. Bremer Bank intends to use this property for future expansion of its current facility,
but does not intend to proceed with any such project in the immediate future.
The City’s Subdivision regulations allow for certain subdivisions of land to be exempt from the
City’s requirements for platting when nor more than four lots are being created and when these lots
comply with the minimum road frontage and area requirements of the underlying zoning. The lots
that would be created as part of the minor subdivision each exceed the BP – Business Park zoning requirements concerning lot size and lot frontage (2 acres and 200 feet respectfully). In addition, the proposed minor subdivision does not alter the underlying legal description that identifies each lot as
part of the original Outlot A of Eagle Point Business Park 3rd Addition. This relationship to the
underlying outlot is important because it means that future development on either parcel can only
occur upon a full replat of each lot and allows the City to consider the minor subdivision without requiring additional easements or other subdivision design elements at this time.
DRAFT FINDINGS
Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission consider the following findings with regards to
the proposed Minor Subdivision:
• That the Minor Subdivision is consistent with the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan and the Future
Land Use Map for this area.
• That the Minor Subdivision complies with the minimum lot frontage and area requirements of the
City’s BP – Business Park Zoning District.
• That the Minor Subdivision complies with the City’s subdivision ordinance and specifically the
requirements concerning exceptions to platting.
RECCOMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the minor subdivision
request from United Land, LLC to split Outlot A of Eagle Point Business Park 3rd Addition into two
separate parcels.
Suggested motion:
“Move to recommend approval of the Minor Subdivision request to split Outlot A of Eagle Point Business Park 3rd Addition into two lots”
