Item No: 9D Meeting Date: May 9, 2005 Type of Business: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View City Council From: Kristin Prososki, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Consideration of a Minor Subdivision of 8060 Groveland Road; Planning Case MI2005-003 Introduction: Integra Homes, represented by Ron Lillestrand, has applied for a minor subdivision of the property located at 8060 Groveland Road. The applicant is proposing to divide the back 271 feet from the existing lot. The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on Wednesday, April 20, 2005. Planning Commission Resolution 795-05, which recommends approval of the minor subdivision request, is attached for Council review. Discussion: Minor subdivisions are those divisions of land less than two acres in size in which only one additional lot is created. Minor subdivisions do not require a public hearing and in contrast to a major subdivision, a Certificate of Survey rather than a plat is all that is needed to record the change with Ramsey County. The property at 8060 Groveland Road is presently 61,855 square feet, or 1.42 acres. The proposed subdivision would split off the back 271 feet from the existing lot. The existing home would remain on the east lot (Parcel A), which would then have a depth of 187 feet. The west lot (Parcel B) would eventually be joined with adjacent properties as part of a proposed redevelopment. The Planning Commission and Council will review the concept plans for the proposed redevelopment during May and June of this year. The applicant has submitted a Certificate of Survey for the proposed subdivision, which identifies the lot to be created as Parcel A and the remainder lot as Parcel B. Zoning Requirements The subject property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. The minimum lot size for an interior (a lot which is not on a corner), single-family lot is 11,000 square feet. As proposed, Parcel A would have an area of 25,244 square feet and Parcel B would have an area of 36,611 square feet. The existing lot has 135 feet of frontage on Groveland Road, which is 60 feet more than the minimum requirement of 75 feet for a single-family residential property. The subdivision, as proposed, would actually land lock Parcel B (it would not have street frontage), however, the applicant is proposing to use Parcel B as part of a larger redevelopment project. Parcel A will remain zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and Parcel B will also be zoned R-1, until such time that the parcel is redeveloped and rezoned to an appropriate classification.
