7656/7658 Silver Lake Road Minor Subdivision December 13, 2004 Page 2 Discussion: The property at 7656 Silver Lake Road is presently 27,060 square feet. The proposed subdivision would split off the north 66 feet of the lot from the south 66 feet. Both lots would have frontage on Silver Lake Road. The applicant has submitted a Certificate of Survey for the proposed subdivision that identifies the lots to be created as Parcel A and Parcel B. Zoning Requirements The lot has 132 feet of frontage on Silver Lake Road, 32 more feet that the minimum required. As shown on the attached site plan, the applicant is proposing to subdivide the parcel horizontally into to two equal halves of 66 feet. A twinhome was built on the property straddling the lot line as shown on the attached Certificate of Survey. Both lots created by the subdivision would conform to the minimum lot size requirements and setbacks as established in the zoning code. The minimum lot size for a two-family attached home is 6,250 square feet. Each of the proposed new lots would have a size of approximately 13,530 square feet, which exceeds the minimum size requirement by 7,280 square feet. Easements shown on the survey are easements that have already been dedicated from the previous subdivision. Staff is recommending that the easement along the rear property line be increased to cover the existing utilities that were installed. Park Dedication Requirements. During the previous review of this minor subdivision request it was determined that due to the fact that a park dedication fee was already paid for the previous lot split, a new park dedication fee would not be required for this lot split. Deed Restrictions According to Subdivision 1107.03 of the Mounds View Zoning Code, deeds associated with zero lot line subdivided parcels shall have certain restrictions added to the deed that protect what happens in the event of damage or destruction. The restrictions are as follows: a. If one dwelling unit is burned or destroyed, it shall be reconstructed in a uniform appearance. b. If both dwelling units are burned or destroyed, minimum lot widths shall then prevail as for single-family homes. c. A double dwelling unit may be rebuilt meeting the original conditions of this Title. d. A uniform exterior appearance, in terms of color, design and maintenance shall be maintained.
