Mounds View City Council August 13, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> <br /> 1 <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 The Motion, as Amended carried. 2 <br /> 3 <br /> B. Public Hearing, Resolution 7129 to Consider Preliminary Plat for the 4 <br /> Abiding Savior Major Subdivision of 8184 Eastwood Road and 8211 Red 5 <br /> Oak Drive 6 <br /> 7 <br />Mayor Marty opened the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Community Development Director Ericson explained the major subdivision request of Abiding 10 <br />Savior Lutheran Church. The Church would like to split the home and 16,000 square feet from 11 <br />the remaining property to allow the home to be sold and to add the remaining property to the 12 <br />existing Church property. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Director Ericson explained that Staff has looked at all requirements for the creation of a new lot 15 <br />and those are met with this request. Director Ericson indicated that Council will need to discuss 16 <br />the park dedication fee. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Director Ericson explained that the drainage and utility easements have been reflected in the 19 <br />proposed plat. Director Ericson indicated that there was a resident that asked about the 20 <br />remaining utilities on the property. Xcel’s position is to not move the utility at this time, as there 21 <br />is no development planned in that area for this time. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Director Ericson said that the Church may have in their plans, some type of senior housing, but 24 <br />that has not been a part of this request. Any interest by the Church in doing so would require 25 <br />further subdivision application. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Director Ericson indicated that the Planning Commission has reviewed this request and 28 <br />recommends approval of the request. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Randy Heltzer of 8181 Eastwood Road, said that in the Comprehensive Plan, it says resident 31 <br />amenities required shall be properly maintained, and he would like to know what that means. 32 <br />Mr. Heltzer said that he has an email from Xcel stating that they will move the lines, and he 33 <br />would like those lines moved since they were set in 1955. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Mr. Heltzer said that in the last two years he has dumped over $40,000 into his home, and by 36 <br />removing that property he will lose $20,000. Mr. Heltzer said that Gary Cox, at the Planning 37 <br />Commission, thanked them for the vote, and mentioned that they would be back, and that is why 38 <br />he would like the utility situation taken care of. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Pete Sargent, with Abiding Savior Lutheran Church, addressed the Council, and said that at the 41 <br />time a development is done the power lines would be moved, and that would be paid for by Xcel 42 <br />and the developer. 43 <br /> 44
