Mounds View Planning Commission August 6, 1997 • Regular Meeting Page 2 4. Planning Case No. 490-97 7720-7730 Silver Lake Road Applicants: Glenn and Ursula Karlen Minor subdivision to two lots for existing duplex. The applicants, Glenn and Ursula Karlen, were present. Planning Associate Ericson gave the Commission Members a brief overview of the applicant's request as follows: This minor subdivision creates two lots, one with 6,956 square feet with 35 feet of frontage on Silver Lake Road and the other with 8,734 square feet and 55 feet wide at the street. Both lots are above the minimum lot size of 6,250 square feet for zero lot line developments. There are existing five-foot drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the existing lot. The applicants propose an additional five feet of easement in the front and rear of both lots (ten feet total) as well as a five foot utility easement where the utilities are buried on the south side of the lot. • Planning Associate Ericson stated that the minimum square footage for total lot area required by code is 12,500 feet. Even though this twin home was built before the current regulations covering zero-lot-line developments were implemented, the property exceeds the minimum lot area requirement with 15,690 total square feet for both parcels. The applicants have provided a Certificate of Survey for the subject property located at 7720 and 7730 Silver Lake Road. There would be no physical changes associated with this minor subdivision, other than allowing for either side to be purchased as an owner- occupied unit. Planning Associate Ericson told the Commission it is the staffs recommendation that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 516-97, a resolution recommending approval of a minor subdivision for Glenn and Ursula Karlen of 7720/7730 Silver Lake Road, with stipulations. Planning Associate Ericson stated that there had been changes made to Resolution No. 516-97 and explained the changes as follows: 1. No. 2 under the stipulations, page 2, is that the common wall dividing the two units shall conform to all required building and fire code specifications, and that the City's building inspector inspect the wall prior to City Council action. If it is deemed that there are code violations the applicant will be responsible for making all improvements necessary prior to recording the Resolution and the Certificate of • Survey.
