Mounds View Planning Commission August 16, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 2 4. Approval of Minutes A. July 5, 2000 MOTION/SECOND: Stevenson/Kaden to approve the July 5, 2000 meeting minutes as corrected. Ayes – 6 Nays - 0 Motion carried. 5. Planning Case No. MI00-001 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 630-00, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Minor Subdivision for Leo & Patricia Bergeleen, 8132 Long Lake Road. Leo and Patricia Bergeleen, the applicants, and Bob Pearson, their neighbor, were present. Planner Ericson gave the staff report as follows: Leo Bergeleen has applied for a minor subdivision to subdivide his lot located at 8132 Long Lake Road and has submitted a Certificate of Survey to effectuate the subdivision. The subdivided portion would not be used for development purposes, but would instead be combined with a property fronting Sherwood Road. In essence, this is a simple land transaction whereby one property owner deeds part of his lot to another property owner. No new lot would be created by this action. However, because a change in property lines is involved, the City is required to approve the action, which is defined as a subdivision of land. The existing lot to be subdivided is approximately 49,673 square feet, or, 1.13 acres, is zoned R- 1, Single Family Residential, and conforms to all the City’s lot requirements. It is 496.73 feet deep and 100 feet wide. Mr. Bergeleen proposes to split off the back 300 feet of the property and has entered into an arrangement to sell this subdivided portion to a neighbor, Bob Pearson, located at 2565 Sherwood Road. Mr. Pearson is planning to combine Mr. Bergeleen’s rear 300 feet to his own property, thus no new lot would be created. After the subdivision and land transfer, Mr. Bergeleen’s lot would be 19,770 square feet. Staff has forwarded the Certificate of Survey to the City’s Engineering Technician as well as to the Director of Public Works. Other than dedication of the westerly 30-foot of the subdivided for roadway purposes, no changes or special requirements are being made. Typically, it is the case with most minor subdivisions that the City would require dedication of perimeter drainage and utility easement areas. However, because both lots have already been developed and no new development is being proposed, dedication of new easements would not be needed. The City Attorney will review the Certificate of Survey and any documentation needed to record the subdivision with Ramsey County. Last, most subdivisions, minor or major, are subject to park dedication requirements. This request is unique in that, again, no new lot is being created and no new development will occur.
