Item No: 9C Meeting Date: February 23, 2004 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review : ______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: James Ericson, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Consideration of a Minor Subdivision of 2935 County Highway 10; Planning Case MI03-005 Introduction: Duane Waldoch has applied for a minor subdivision of his property located at 2935 County Highway 10. (A minor subdivision is a division of land less than two acres in area in which only one additional lot is created.) The subdivided parcel would be joined with a sliver of land on Sherwood Place (Outlot A) to form a new lot fronting Sherwood Place. The lot fronting County Highway 10 is zoned R-3, medium density residential; while the Sherwood Estates Outlot is zoned R-1, single family residential. The applicant has been informed that the new lot fronting Sherwood place could only be developed as single family residential to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan future land use map. Discussion: The Waldoch property is presently 47,470 square feet, or, a little more than one acre. The proposed subdivision would split off the north 106.5 feet of the lot fronting County Highway 10 which would be merged with Outlot A to create a new, 12,690 square foot lot fronting Sherwood Place. 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 minimum lot size for an interior lot (a lot which is not on a corner) is 11,000 square feet. The proposed new lot would exceed that minimum by 1,690 square feet. The remaining lot would also exceed the minimum requirements. At 102.92 feet in width, the proposed (and remaining) lot would satisfy the City’s minimum lot width requirement of 75 feet. The parcel to be created (Parcel A) would initially have a split zoning designation of R-3 / R-1 with the R-1 designation prevailing. The City, at some point in the future, will process a rezoning action on the lot to eliminate the R-3 designation. As a condition of the subdivision approval, the applicant shall consent to this future rezoning of Parcel A. Park Dedication Requirements. Every subdivision of land is subject to park dedication requirements. Because the subdivision is less than 2 acres in area, the fee is 5% of the land’s market value, less the value of the land of the remainder parcel. According to the Ramsey County Assessors Office, the land has a “per square foot” value of $1.21, thus Parcel A’s value would be $15,355 and the applicable dedication fee would be $768.
