Mounds View City Council February 28, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 5 9. COUNCIL BUSINESS 1 2 A. Consideration of Resolution 6464 Approving a Minor Subdivision for 3008 3 County Road J. 4 5 Associate Planner Prososki advised the applicant has applied for a lot line adjustment at 3008 6 and 3016 County Road J. She stated that the owner of 3008 would like to sell the property and 7 wants to add property so that the driveway is located on 3008 County Road J. She stated that 8 both lots would still meet the minimum code standard for interior lots for frontage and square 9 footage. She advised that as presented, the existing driveway would still be noncompliant 10 because it wouldn’t meet the setback and would be just partially located on 3016, so Staff and the 11 Planning Commission were recommending that it be made compliant by May 15th and that 12 money be placed in escrow in case the new owner of 3008 County Road J doesn’t follow 13 through. She stated that Staff is recommended that the amount of $650 be held in escrow, which 14 would adequately cover the cost if the City needed to replace that. She stated it is currently a dirt 15 driveway, so basically what it would entail is planting grass or laying sod in the setback area. 16 17 Mayor Marty stated he thought driveways were supposed to be improved surfaces. 18 19 Associate Planner Prososki stated that new homes require a permanent improved surface, but 20 existing driveways don’t require it until they become improved. She stated that the Planning 21 Commission said they would prefer it, but chose not to require it. 22 23 Mayor Marty asked whether the driveway was going to be moved. 24 25 Associate Planner Prososki stated it was basically just planting grass in the setback area to insure 26 that eventually that area doesn’t get tarred or concrete placed over it. 27 28 Linda Wallin, the listing agent for the property, gave a history of the driveway, and stated that in 29 order to sell the property, this needs to be cleared up in this fashion; otherwise, a driveway would 30 need to be put on the other side of the house, which would ruin the lot. 31 32 MOTION/SECOND.
