Item No: 9 <br />Meeting Date: May 7, 2001 <br />Type of Business: WK <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />From: James Ericson, Community Development Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Discussion Regarding Proposed Minor Subdivision of 8360 <br />Pleasant View Drive and 8360 Spring Lake Road and <br />Vacation of Unused Pleasant View Drive Right of Way <br />Easement <br />Date of Report: May 2, 2001 <br /> <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Steven Redfield, representing property owners Michael and Patricia Robinson of 8360 Pleasant <br />View Drive and Pierre and Mary Dumas of 8360 Spring Lake Road, is requesting approval of a <br />minor subdivision to split off the rear 135 of the Dumas property and combine it with a vacated <br />part of Pleasant View Drive owned by the Robinsons to create a 18,236 square-foot buildable lot <br />fronting Pleasant View Drive. (Minor subdivisions are those divisions of land less than two acres <br />in size in which only one additional lot is created.) <br /> <br />The area of the proposed subdivision is zoned R-1, Single-Family Residential. The minimum lot <br />size in this district is 11,000 square feet for an interior lot and 12,500 square feet for a corner lot. <br />The proposed lot would not be located on a corner. The comprehensive plan designates this area as <br />“single-family detached” and the surrounding lots are improved with single-family dwellings. The <br />applicant has submitted a certificate of survey date-stamped April 4, 2001 which describes the <br />proposed subdivision. Ramsey County has indicated that a Registered Land Survey would be <br />required due to the relative complexity of the subdivision and combination. Other than the maps <br />which were produced by staff, Council will not receive a copy of the certificate of survey or <br />registered land survey until your May 14th meeting. <br /> <br />Planning Commission: <br /> <br />The Planning Commission discussed this request at their meeting on April 18, 2001 and approved <br />a resolution on May 2, 2001 recommending City Council approval of the subdivision and vacation. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The proposed lot would conform to all zoning code requirements and would be considered a <br />buildable parcel. The two remaining lots, even after the subdivisions, will exceed 28,000 square <br />feet, more than double the minimum allowed. Both remaining lots would comply with the <br />minimum front and rear setbacks of thirty feet. The new lot is shown to include front, rear and side <br />utility and drainage easements as is typically required in any subdivision. A separate easement
