Minor Subdivision Report May 7, 2001 Page 2 document will need to be recorded to actually dedicate the easements to the City. 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 perimeter utility easements, the certificate of survey is in proper form. The City Attorney will review the registered land survey and any documentation needed to record the subdivision with Ramsey County. The subdivision would be consistent with previous subdivisions in this area. This subdivision, as will any subdivision of land, is subject to a park dedication fee requirement. The City’s Subdivision Regulations require that a park dedication fee be paid which is equal to five percent (5%) of the assessed value of the subdivided land, less that area already improved with single family homes. In this case, the fee would apply to the 18,236 square feet of land. The averaged assessed land values for the lots are 87 cents per square foot, which would translate into a value of $15,875. The appropriate fee is $794.00 This item has been scheduled for a public hearing on May 14, 2001 for the vacation, which will require adoption of an ordinance. The minor subdivision can be approved on May 14 subject to receiving the registered land survey, easement document and park dedication fee. Recommendation: No action is requested for this worksession meeting. Because of the vacation component, staff felt it would be a benefit to discuss the request in a less formal setting. Please call me with any specific questions you may have. _____________________________________ James Ericson Community Development Director 763-171-4021 N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\Development Cases\MI01-001, VA01-001 (Redfield)\CC Report - May 7, 2001.doc
