Item No: 7E <br />Meeting Date: September 8, 2014 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: ________ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8296 - Approval of the Final Plat for “Anna Place,” the <br />Subdivision of the East Two Acres of the Abiding Savior Church <br />Property at 8211 Red Oak Drive; Planning Case MA2014-002 <br /> <br /> <br />Introduction: <br />Terry Buchanan, representing Kayak Remodeling & Redevelopment, has submitted an <br />application for a major subdivision of the east two acres of 8211 Red Oak Drive. The proposed <br />subdivision would create 5 additional lots from the existing one lot. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />Abiding Savior Church owns the property at 8211 Red Oak Drive, which is a 7-acre parcel with <br />a church building and large parking lot. This property is currently zoned R-1, Single Family <br />Residential, and the Metropolitan Council approved amending the Comprehensive Plan Existing <br />and Future Land Use Maps to change this 2-acre area to single family detached (SFD). All of <br />the lots shown on the plat meet and exceed the minimum lot size requirements: 11,000 square <br />feet and 75 feet wide for interior lots, and 12,500 square feet and 100 feet wide for corner lots. <br /> <br />Local Water Management Plan: Also known as the City’s Surface Water Management Plan, <br />this planning document guides the City in regards to drainage and stormwater management. <br />The project area is located in the AA-5 sub-watershed. The minimum recommended building <br />elevation for the AA-5 sub-watershed is set at 904 feet. The building elevations are confirmed <br />by City Staff with each permit for new construction. <br /> <br />Easements: The City’s Subdivision Code requires that plats dedicate perimeter drainage and <br />utility easements for each lot in the subdivision; ten feet wide in the front and rear, and five feet <br />wide on the sides. This plat does dedicate the necessary perimeter easements. A drainage <br />easement will be added around the stormwater infiltration area in the rear of lots 2, 3 and 4. <br /> <br />Streets: Two of the new lots will access Ardan Avenue, two lots will access Eastwood Road, <br />and the corner lot could access either street. Both Ardan and Eastwood will be reconstructed in <br />2014 and are adequate to handle the amount of added traffic that five additional homes would <br />create. <br /> <br />Utilities: All utilities on the site must be installed underground, per Section 1203.10. Water <br />and sanitary sewer connections are being installed to the five new lots during the 2014 street <br />reconstruction project. <br /> <br />Wetlands: The National Wetlands Inventory Map and the City’s official Wetland Zoning Map <br />identify no wetlands within the property boundary. The applicant has submitted their application <br />to Rice Creek Watershed District.
