Item No: 10D Meeting Date: December 13, 2004 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review : _________ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Kristin Prososki, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Resolution 6412, a Resolution Re- approving a Zero-Lot Line Minor Subdivision Request for 7656/7658 Silver Lake Road; Planning Case MI2004- 001 Introduction: Zach Dyab, representing the applicant RM Michaels Construction Inc., is requesting re-approval of a minor subdivision to convert the lot at 7656 Silver Lake Road into a zero-lot line subdivision. The lot would be divided down the middle and both lots would have frontage on Silver Lake Road 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 applicant has submitted the required certificate of survey that describes the proposed subdivision. The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on Wednesday, December 1, 2004. Planning Commission Resolution 776-04, which recommends re-approval of the minor subdivision request, is attached for Council review. Background: This minor subdivision request was presented to the Planning Commission on February 19, 2003 and was approved by the Council on April 28, 2003. City Council Resolution 6002, which approved the minor subdivision, stated that, “The applicant shall record the deeds with Ramsey County no later than 60 days beyond Council approval…Failure to record the deeds shall render this subdivision approval null and void.” The applicant at that time, Rose Osbourne, failed to record the deeds and therefore the subdivision was not finalized. Mr. Dyab, who is now handling the case, is requesting re-approval of the same proposal. The applicant will still need to record the deeds with Ramsey County within sixty (60) days of Council approval. During the initial review of the request, the City required that certain restriction be placed on the deeds (see following page.) The former applicant did not present the City with deeds that reflected the required restriction. The new applicant will be responsible for having those restrictions placed on the deeds prior to the City recording the resolution approving the minor subdivision. In addition to the minor subdivision, the lot was previously subdivided and rezoned to R-2, Single and Two Family Residential, in 2002 by Terry Martinson, the previous property owner.
