Item No: 6 <br />Meeting Date: December 4, 2000 <br />Type of Business: WS <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />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 <br />8480 Eastwood Road <br />Date of Report: December 1, 2000 <br /> <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Richard Cary, representing the property owners Sharlee and Peter Cleveland, is <br />requesting approval of a minor subdivision of 8480 Eastwood Road, a corner lot <br />fronting on Eastwood Road and County Road J. Minor subdivisions are those divisions <br />of land less than two acres in size in which only one additional lot is created. <br /> <br />The 32,738 square foot lot is zoned R-1, single family residential and is designated as <br />single family detached according to the Comprehensive Plan. The lot split will create a <br />new 14,202 square foot lot facing old County Road J leaving 18,536 square feet for <br />the lot with the existing home. Both lots would conform to all zoning and subdivision <br />code requirements. <br /> <br />The applicant has submitted a certificate of survey which describes the proposed <br />subdivision. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Staff has forwarded the certificate of survey to the City’s engineering technician, the <br />City’s attorney as well as the Ramsey County traffic engineer for review. Other than <br />the need to dedicate perimeter easements, the subdivision request is straightforward <br />and does not pose any issues. <br /> <br />This subdivision will be subject to park dedication requirements. The fee is 5% of the <br />land value of the land subdivided, less the value of any land already improved with <br />single-family residential dwellings. In this case, the fee would apply to 14,202 square <br />feet of land at an assessed value of $0.97 a square foot. The extrapolated value for <br />the lot would be $13,776, of which five percent would amount to a fee of $689. This <br />fee would need to be paid prior to the City approving the subdivision <br /> <br />The Planning Commission will be reviewing this request at their meeting on December <br />6, 2000 and forwarding a recommendation for action by the Council on December 11, <br />2000. <br /> <br /> <br />
