arrive at an “adjusted“ dedication fee. The Martinson property originally exceeded one acre, and as such, they were assessed a ten percent fee equal to $2,110. According to the Code, that payment should be subtracted from what would be owed from the new subdivision. Because the new subdivision is less than an acre, a five percent fee would be imposed. The end result is that no additional dedication is required above and beyond what has already been paid. Recording Requirements. The Subdivision Code indicates that If the certificate of survey is approved by the Council, the “subdivider“ shall, within sixty (60) days, record with Ramsey County a deed conforming to the terms of the Council’s approval of the subdivision, and within ten (10) days of the recording, the subdivider shall furnish the City with a copy of the deed showing evidence of the recording; otherwise, the subdivision shall be void and the Clerk-Administrator would so notify the County Register of Deeds or Registrar of Titles. No building permit can be issued for construction on a parcel created by such minor subdivision until evidence of recording has been submitted. In this case, however, because the lot is already properly zoned for a twin-home, construction can occur at any time. Deed Restrictions. According to Section 1107.03 of the Mounds View Zoning Code, deeds associated with zero lot line 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.
