A j -8- SUBDIVISION OF 3048 COUNTY ROAD H -2 (`IILLARD D. HARD) 0.'^ SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOT INTO T'.10 LOTS Willard Hero has requested to subdivide his lot into two lots. Administrator Achen reported that both lots meet frontage and area requirements. However, the south lot which borders the City of Fridley will be land locked without street paving. The City of Mounds View has an existing 33' road easement with sewer and water services located in it. The Staff has discussed the possibility of a future road with the planner for the City of Fridley but Fridley does not forsee the need or use or a road and is not interested in the joint construction of one. The general area of the south lot has been proposed as a holding pond area in the Cities Report on Water Drainage Facilities. The south lot would be subdivided further into five 87' frontage lots. An interior road system with entrance from Wooddale Drive and County Road HZ would make better use of all land for further development. The Staff has recommended that the issue be tabled until a road system can be devised or approval with the condition that no building permits be issued until landlocked lot road service. Mr. Haro pointed out that his other lot, #39 is already land locked and asked what difference one more land locked lot would make. He explained that he and his wife had applied to have their home refinanced and had submitted their application with the subdivided lot size, and that if it was not approved to subdivide by the Council, they would then have to reapply for their refinancing. Attorney Meyers reported that the City presently owns two of the lots in the area in question and that there had been some discussion on putting in a road. Administrator Achen suggested that the Staff could contact the citizens in the area and find out what interest would be in putting a road in through the area.
