Resolution 7129, Consider a Preliminary Plat for the Abiding Savior Major 11 Subdivision of 8184 Eastwood Road and 8211 Red Oak Drive 12 13 Community Development Director Ericson explained the major subdivision request noting that 14 this is really a realignment of the lot line and not the creation of new lots. Director Ericson 15 indicated that there are two lots presently, and the Church has requested a subdivision taking the 16 back 2/3 of the property and adjoining it to the rest of the Church property. 17 18 Director Ericson explained that the setback and easement issues are resolved on the plat. 19 Director Ericson indicated that Staff worked with the City Attorney and Xcel Energy regarding 20 platting an easement for the overhead utility lines and Staff has determined that the easements on 21 the plat are sufficient for the City for utility easements, and Xcel feels there is a prescriptive 22 easement due to the length of time the lines have been in that location. 23 24 Director Ericson provided options for Council consideration for the park dedication fee. 25 26 Director Ericson explained that the Planning Commission recommended approval unanimously. 27 Director Ericson indicated that if the Church does plan to move forward with any senior housing 28 development, that would need to go before the City for several actions, including Comprehensive 29 Plan Amendment and a rezoning before that would be allowed to move forward. 30 31 Pete Sargent, from Abiding Savior Lutheran Church, asked the Council to vote favorably on their 32 lot split, as this has taken almost a year to get accomplished. 33 34 Ken Fletcher of 8330 Sunnyside Road addressed the Council, indicating said that he has lived in 35 Mounds View for 30 years, and has been a member of at Abiding Savior for 30 years. Mr. 36 Fletcher said that he opposes this lot split and purchase, and he does not believe that this project 37 was God inspired. Mr. Fletcher said that he does not believe that they have any business putting 38 this development in his back yard. Mr. Fletcher suggested they sell the property as they got it, 39 and not to develop in his backyard. 40 41 Mr. Fletcher said that they are here asking for permission, and they should be asking for 42 forgiveness. Mr. Fletcher read a letter from the church noting the home is not sellable until the 43 lot is subdivided. The letter went on to state that the plan is to sell the extra property to a 44 developer for a senior housing development. 45
