Mounds View City Council January 10, 2005 <br />Regular Meeting Page 11 <br /> <br /> <br />G. Resolution 6416 Authorizing the Police Department to Accept a Local Law <br />Enforcement Block Grant from the MN Department of Public Safety Office <br />of Justice Program. <br /> <br />Police Chief Sommer stated that this grant was based on need, crime rate, and quality of the <br />application, and they were fortunate to be awarded it. He stated that only 20 percent of the <br />applicants were awarded the grant. He stated that the $12,500 grant would be used for 800 <br />megahertz portable radios, and the City would be required to match $1,389 for the purchase. <br /> <br />Mayor Marty thanked Police Chief Sommer for applying for the grant, and he stated that this <br />is a great deal. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen stated that one item got left out of the resolution, and that is that <br />the local matching funds would come from the police forfeiture fund. <br /> <br />Mayor Marty amended the last whereas clause in the Resolution to read, “Whereas, the grant <br />requires the City of Mounds View to provide matching funds in the amount of $1,389, coming <br />from the Police Forfeiture Fund.” <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND. Stigney/Flaherty. To Approve Resolution 6416 as amended, <br />Authorizing the Police Department to Accept a Local Law Enforcement Block Grant from <br />the MN Department of Public Safety Office of Justice Program, and to waive the reading. <br /> <br /> Ayes -4 Nays-0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />H. Resolution 6419 Approving a Lot Line Adjustment (Minor Subdivision) <br />Between 8265 and 8281 Spring Lake Road (Ericson) <br /> <br />Director Ericson stated that this is an application for a lot line adjustment, which according to <br />City Code is considered a minor subdivision. He stated that minor subdivisions are considered <br />divisions of land in which no more than one additional lot is created, and the amount of land <br />would be less than two acres. He stated that even though this does not create any new lots, and <br />does not involve the intensification of the land in any way, but it is still considered a minor <br />subdivision simply by shifting the lot line. He stated that the reason for the lot line adjustment <br />is that when the house at 8265 Spring Lake Road was constructed, it was not constructed where <br />the survey said it was going to be, and the property owners did not realize that until the <br />neighbors pulled a permit for a fence. He stated that the Planning Commission had reviewed <br />this request, and they felt it met all the requirements of the subdivision code. He stated that <br />there would be no park dedication fee required for this subdivision because there is no further <br />intensification of the land. <br /> <br />Director Ericson stated that when a subdivision occurs, there is a review of easements, and there <br />was a perimeter drainage and utility easement granted for this property. He stated when the lot <br />line shifts, then the easement is no longer a perimeter utility easement. He stated that the
