Abiding Savior Subdivision Report Jan 10, 2007 Page 2 Park Dedication Requirements. Subdivisions of land are subject to park dedication requirements. In cases where future redevelopment and platting is planned, typically the park dedication fee is deferred. For this request, staff would recommend that any park dedication fee due be deferred for one year while the redevelopment applications are being processed. For subdivisions which have no impact upon the park system (such as a lot line adjustment) the City Council will ordinarily waive any dedication fee. For most other minor subdivisions, the dedication fee imposed is usually five percent of the county assessed land value of the lot created. For major subdivisions and projects which significantly intensify the existing development density, up to a ten percent dedication fee may be imposed by the Council. If a five percent dedication fee were imposed on this minor subdivision, the fee would be $1,875. Easements. With every subdivision of land, the City requires that drainage and utility easements be dedicated around the perimeter of the lot. In this case, easements would be required for Parcel B as follows: The north and south 5.0 feet and the east and west 10.0 feet of Parcel B While easements may not be recorded via a certificate of survey, staff would request that the easements as described above be added to the certificate of survey with a notation that the easements as shown will be dedicated separately by the property owner. Public Notice. No public notice is required for a minor subdivision, however staff typically notifies adjoining property owners when development may occur. In this case, because no direct development will occur as a result of this subdivision, staff only contacted the neighbor to the south. The rezoning and comp plan amendment requests however WILL necessitate public hearings which will require full notification of all property owners within 350 feet of the Abiding Savior property. Deadline for Action. This application was accepted on December 26, 2006 and in accordance with MN Statute 15.99, a decision will need to be made within 60 days of application acceptance. The deadline for action for this request is February 24, 2007. Summary. The proposed minor subdivision or 8184 Eastwood Road is requested to create additional land which would be utilized in conjunction with a future major subdivision and senior residential development. The single family lot on Eastwood Road (Parcel B) would be consistent with all setbacks and subdivision code requirements.
