Item No: 7B Meeting Date: July 14, 2014 Type of Business: Public Hearing Administrator Review: ________ City of Mounds View Staff Report To Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing - Consideration of a Preliminary Plat for “Anna Place,” the Subdivision of the East Two Acres of the Abiding Savior Church Property at 8211 Red Oak Drive and a Comprehensive Plan Amendment; Planning Cases MA2014-002 & CP2014-001 Introduction: Terry Buchanan, representing Kayak Remodeling & Redevelopment, has submitted an application for a major subdivision of the east two acres of 8211 Red Oak Drive and a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment. The proposed subdivision would create 5 additional lots from the existing one lot and change the land use designation of the two acres from church (CH) to single family detached (SFD). Discussion: Abiding Savior Church owns the property at 8211 Red Oak Drive, which is a 7-acre parcel with a church building and large parking lot. This property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, but the Comprehensive Plan Existing and Future Land Use Maps designate the property as “church.” The proposed subdivision would create five new single family buildable lots which would be consistent with the existing zoning of the property, but not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. All of the lots shown on the preliminary plat meet the minimum lot size requirements: 11,000 square feet and 75 feet wide for interior lots, and 12,500 square feet and 100 feet wide for corner lots. Major Subdivision: Local Water Management Plan: Also known as the City’s Surface Water Management Plan, this planning document guides the City in regards to drainage and stormwater management. The project area is located in the AA-5 sub-watershed. The minimum recommended building elevation for the AA-5 sub-watershed is set at 904 feet. The building elevations are confirmed by City Staff with each permit for new construction. Easements: The City’s Subdivision Code requires that plats dedicate perimeter drainage and utility easements for each lot in the subdivision; ten feet wide in the front and rear, and five feet wide on the sides. This plat does dedicate the necessary perimeter easements. A drainage easement will be added around the stormwater infiltration area in the rear of lots 2,3 and 4. Streets: Two of the new lots will access Ardan Avenue, two lots will access Eastwood Road, and the corner lot could access either street. Both Ardan and Eastwood will be reconstructed in 2014 and are adequate to handle the amount of added traffic that five additional homes would create.
