1 <br /> Danielson Minor Subdivision <br /> 8444 Greenwood Drive • <br /> Planning Case No. 540-98 <br /> January 6, 1998 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Issues: <br /> Staff sent a letter to the applicant dated 12/21/98, in which three items were pointed out with <br /> regard to the survey which would need to be changed prior to Council approval. Those items are <br /> (1) show all required easement areas, (2) add a signature block for the property owners and City's <br /> signatures, and (3) change the title to read"Certificate of Survey." In a previous letter, dated <br /> 11/24/98, staff requested that text be added to the survey to read "Separate drainage and utility <br /> easement documents consistent with those areas so noted on this Certificate of Survey have been <br /> recorded with Ramsey County." <br /> The proposed legal descriptions and certificate of survey have been reviewed by the City's <br /> Engineering Technician, who finds them in compliance with City standards save for the above- <br /> mentioned changes. Staff has sent a copy of the survey to the City Attorney for his comments and <br /> to arrange for the drafting of easement documents to convey the drainage and utility easements as <br /> shown on the survey. <br /> The only issue that exists with regard to this request is the park dedication requirement as stated <br /> in Section 1204.02 of the Municipal Code. Because the area to be subdivided is greater than one <br /> acre, the Code specifies that a ten percent (10%) park dedication fee is required to be paid before <br /> the subdivision can be approved. According to the Ramsey County assessor's records, this land is <br /> valued at $47,700. Ten percent of that would amount to $4,470. Subdivision 3 of this Section, <br /> however, allows for the exclusion of the land under the existing home remaining after the <br /> subdivision. With this exclusion, the dedication requirement would be reduced 66 percent to <br /> $1,475. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Approve Resolution 567-99, a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of this <br /> minor subdivision subject to stipulations. <br /> 6- 24,..i&t., <br /> James Ericson, Planning Associate <br /> N:`DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\DEVCASES\540-98\D, NNYSON.PCI • <br />
