Item No: 2 Meeting Date: September 18, 2000 Type of Business: WS WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor & City Council From: James Ericson, Planner Item Title/Subject: Discussion Regarding a Proposed Minor Subdivision of 2474 and 2468 County Road H2 Date of Report: Introduction: Raymond McManus, representing RTM Management, Inc. and the property owners, James Kuphal and Danine and David Super, is requesting approval of a minor subdivision to subdivide the rear 80 feet from 2474 and 2468 County Road H2 to create a buildable lot fronting Irondale Road. Minor subdivisions are those divisions of land less than two acres in size in which only one additional lot is created. The area of the proposed subdivision is zoned R-1, Single-Family Residential. The minimum lot size in this district is 11,000 square feet for an interior lot and 12,500 square feet for a corner lot. The property at 2474 County Road H2 is a corner lot. The comprehensive plan designates this area as single-family detached. The applicant has submitted a certificate of survey which describes the proposed subdivision. Discussion: The two existing lots on County Road H2 are 75 feet wide and 288 feet deep, both 21,600 square feet in area. The proposed subdivision would create an 80-foot wide and 149-foot deep, 11,920 square-foot lot fronting Irondale Road. The new lot would conform to all zoning code requirements and would be considered a buildable parcel. The two remaining lots--at 15,600 square feet--would satisfy the minimum lot size requirement. 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 Certificate of Survey and any documentation needed to record the subdivision with Ramsey County. Last, this subdivision is subject to park dedication requirements. The 5% fee is based upon the Ramsey County assessed land value of the land subdivided, less the value of any land already improved with single-family residential dwellings. In this case, the fee would apply to 11,920 square feet of land at an assessed value of $1.23 a square foot. The extrapolated value for the lot would be $14,662, five percent of which would amount to a fee of $733. This fee would need to be paid prior to the City
