The City's subdivision regulations allow for approval of a surveyor's certificate in these situations. (A copy of the surveyor's certificate showing the proposed lot split is attached.) This property is a through lot that fronts both Knollwood Drive and Groveland Road with the applicant's home on the portion of the lot fronting Groveland. The lot is L-shaped . with an additional 30 feet of land attached along the south side for a distance of 211 feet from the southeast corner. The applicant proposes to split the lot at a point approximately 30 feet off center to the west. The Planning Commission, at their meeting on March 5, 1997, recommended approval of this request with stipulations. Refer to the attached Planning Commission resolution. Analysis: The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, which requires a minimum street frontage of 75 feet and lot area of 11,000 square feet. The applicant's lot is 100 feet wide at Knollwood Drive and 130 feet wide at Groveland Road. The lot fronting Knollwood would be 18,067 square feet and the remainder fronting Groveland would be 30, 695 square feet. Both lots would conform to the Zoning Code's dimensional requirements. Ms. Hoopingarner's lot is one of the last"through lots" in the City that can be split in this fashion. Staff is requesting that the applicant submit the following prior to Council action on this item: (1) revised Certificate and Plat of Survey that shows the drainage and utility easements to be dedicated to the City as a result of this lot split with a notation on the survey indicating that a separate document has been recorded with Ramsey County which conveys the easements to the City, and (2) document executed by the applicant dedicating the utility and drainage easements to the IIICity, which is acceptable to the City Attorney as to form.
