Mounds View Planning Commission January 6, 1999 • Regular Meeting Page 2 Motion/Second: Brasaemle/Stevenson to approve the December 16, 1998, meeting minutes as corrected. Ayes - 6 Nays - 0 The motion carried. 5. Planning Case No. 540-98 Property involved: 8444 Greenwood Drive Consideration of Resolution No. 567-99, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Minor Subdivision Request to Divide the Property Located at 8444 Greenwood Drive into Two Parcels. Applicant: Dan Danielson The applicant was not present. Ericson reported that applicant, Dan Danielson, is requesting a minor subdivision of his parents' lot at 8444 Greenwood Drive. The lot is 235 feet along Greenwood Drive and it is 234 feet deep. • They propose to split off the south 78 feet of the lot on which the applicant would build a new home, for which he has submitted building plans. The parcels created meet the city's minimum lot size requirements and also meet the frontage requirements. The lot would be somewhat smaller than the homes that are in the area--most are about 100 feet, although there are some smaller lots. The certificate of survey was reviewed by the city engineer and public works department who indicated it was acceptable with the addition of easements being dedicated. In addition to the required easements, the other change needed for the certificate is to add a signature block bearing the names of the property owners and the mayor and city clerk/administrator. Ericson continued by stating that the other issue that needed to be discussed concerned park park dedication fee , in an amount equal to 10% of the land value, be paid. According to Ramsey County, the land is valued at $47,700. Ten percent of that would be $4,770. The Code also specifies that the dedication fee applicable to land under an existing home can waived, which reduces the dedication amount 66 percent, to $1,574. Ericson recommended the Planning Commission approve Resolution 567-99, a resolution recommending approval of this minor subdivision request to the City Council, with stipulations. The first stipulation is that the certificate of survey be revised as indicated prior to the Council approving it, also that the applicant make a park dedication payment in the amount specified, $1475, and then before building permits would be issued the applicant would need to record the • certificate of survey, the resolution of approval and the easement documents.
