Ordahl Subdivision Report <br />November 18, 2009 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Park Dedication Requirements. <br /> <br />Subdivisions of land are subject to park dedication requirements consistent with Chapter 1204 <br />of the City Code. For minor subdivisions, the park dedication fee is typically 5% of the current <br />year market value as determined by Ramsey County. During the previous case review for Mr. <br />Ordahl, the City Council required a $1,000 park dedication fee since the subdivision was not <br />creating any additional lots. Mr. Ordahl paid this fee in October 2008. <br /> <br />Easements. <br /> <br />With every subdivision of land, the City requires the owner to dedicate drainage and utility <br />easements around the perimeter of the lot. The city standard easements are ten-foot wide <br />along the front and rear of the lot and five-foot wide on each side of the lot. The owner will <br />dedicate these easements as shown on the certificate of survey. <br /> <br />Public Notice. <br /> <br />No public notice is required for a minor subdivision, however staff typically alerts residents in <br />the area when a new lot is to be created. In this case, staff sent notices to nearby property <br />owners as a courtesy even though there should be little change or impact to any neighboring <br />properties. <br /> <br />Summary. <br /> <br />The proposed lot combination will create one parcel instead of two small lots. No new <br />buildable lots will be created because of this subdivision and all minimum city requirements <br />will be met with this request. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Because the proposed lot combination satisfies all city code requirements, staff is <br />recommending approval of Resolution 913-09. This resolution approves a lot combination of <br />two vacant lots on the northeast corner of Greenwood Drive and County Road H. <br /> <br /> Heidi Heller <br />Planning Associate <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
