Mounds View Planning Commission July 16, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson indicated he would like to know if other cities are still doing this and said <br />he thinks the City gets better housing stock out of not doing it. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that often times there are constraints with setbacks when expanding <br />existing housing so the City may want to look at the Code to encourage reinvestment in its <br />residential housing stock. He then indicated that once the City has a planning associate on board <br />the City could poll neighboring communities for how they handle this type of issue. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Johnson/Zwirn. To Approve Resolution 733-03, a Resolution Approving <br />a Variance to Allow a Reduced Front Yard Setback to Construct an Addition. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Consideration of Resolution 734-03 Recommending Approval of a Minor <br />Subdivision. MI03-002. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated that this case is a request for a minor <br />subdivision and noted that the applicants own the property at 8430 Knollwood Drive and would <br />like to subdivide it to create one additional lot. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that the lot to be created and the remaining lot are large enough to <br />meet the City’s Code requirements and he feels that a nice house could be built on the new lot as <br />it is a very nicely wooded lot. He then said that there are no issues that would not warrant <br />approving the minor subdivision and Staff is waiting for a 2003 value for the property before <br />determining the required park dedication fee. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that Staff is waiting for the RLS or Certificate of Survey to be <br />submitted for review by the City Attorney before this item would be brought before Council for <br />final approval. <br /> <br />Director Ericson reviewed the stipulations for approval listed in the Resolution. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Zwirn/Song. To Approve Resolution 734-03, a Resolution <br />Recommending Approval of a Minor Subdivision. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />
