Citizens Requests and Comments on Items Not on the Agenda None ______________________________________________________________________________ 5. Planning Cases A. Continuation: MI2006-002; Consideration of a Minor Subdivision of 8184 Eastwood Road; Applicant: Abiding Savior Lutheran Church; Location: 8211 Red Oak Drive. Community Development Director Ericson reported the Planning Commission considered a minor subdivision split request from Abiding Savior Lutheran Church at the January 10, 2007 meeting. He indicated the minor subdivision would include a split of the home and 16,000 square feet creating a flag-shaped parcel that would be absorbed into the Church’s property at the corner of Red Oak Drive and Ardan Avenue. Director Ericson explained a minor subdivision is a division of less than two acres in an area where no more than one additional lot is created. Director Ericson reported the Church wishes to develop the property for senior co-op housing in the future.

Director Ericson stated all setbacks and minimum requirements are satisfied with this request.

He stated that if the subdivision is approved, easements would be required for Parcel B with a five foot easement on the north and south sides and ten feet on the east and west sides of the parcel. Director Ericson explained easements could not be recorded via a Certificate of Survey, however, staff would request the easement as described be added to the Certificate of Survey with a notation that the easements as shown would be dedicated separately by the property owner. Director Ericson explained this is not a public hearing as one is not required for a minor subdivision; however, notices were sent to the property owners who signed in at the previous Planning Commission meeting as a courtesy. Director Ericson stated the application was accepted on December 26, 2006 and in accordance with Minnesota State Statutes, a decision must be made within 60 days of acceptance of the application. He indicated the deadline for action is February 24, 2007. He stated, assuming the Planning
