<br /> <br /> <br />Park Dedication Requirements <br /> <br />Every subdivision of land is subject to park dedication requirements. Since Parcel B does front <br />right-of-way, even though unimproved, it will be subject to a park dedication fee. Staff is <br />recommending that the fee be 5% of the per-square-foot land value of the 38,334 square foot <br />lot (Parcel B). According to the Ramsey County Assessors Office, the land has a “per square <br />foot” value of $2.13, thus Parcel B’s value would be $81,651 and the applicable dedication fee <br />would be $4082.55. <br /> <br />Easements <br /> <br />With every subdivision of land, the City requires that drainage and utility easements be <br />dedicated around the perimeter of the lot. A revised Certificate of Survey provided by the <br />applicants does indicate the presence of proposed perimeter easements on both Parcel A <br />and Parcel B. If any future development impacts Parcel B, these easements could be <br />vacated at that time and new easements dedicated. <br /> <br /> <br />Public Notice. <br /> <br />While a public hearing is not required for this request, staff did send out letters to the immediate <br />neighboring property owners as a courtesy, informing them of the proposed minor subdivision <br />and the Planning Commission meeting date. Staff received one phone call asking general <br />questions, but has not heard any other comments. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Given that the request satisfies all of the City’s zoning and subdivision requirements, staff and <br />the Planning Commission recommend approval. After discussing this request, Council may <br />approve Resolution 6704, a resolution approving a minor subdivision of 8140 Long Lake Road, <br />with stipulations. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Heidi Heller <br />Planning Associate <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
