Planning Case Continuation: Application for a Minor Subdivision and Conditional Use Permit for “The Station” at 2280 County Road I. Planning Associate Heller explained The Station required a minor subdivision and a conditional use permit to conform to City Code. She explained The Station was denied a conditional use permit in 2004 to reinstall two fuel pumps because the minimum lot size requirements for a gas station were not met. She explained that The Station has entered into a purchase agreement to buy neighboring property to the south, thus bringing the lot size to 24,395 square feet with dimensions of approximately 134’ x 187’, therefore, meeting minimum requirements. Planning Associate Heller stated the City Council would decide if park dedication fees were appropriate in this situation. She explained the subdivision would not result in any additional housing units; however, there would be a slight intensification of the usage with the addition of two fuel pumps. She indicated a park dedication fee might be appropriate in this case. Planning Associate Heller stated drainage and utility easements would be dedicated around the perimeter of the lot. She explained easements could not be dedicated on Certificates of Survey or registered land surveys, but would be accomplished by a separate document recorded at the same time the new deed is recorded. She stated the Certificate of Survey would show the location of the easements and state that the property is subject to the easements. She stated the City Attorney reviewed the documents and foresaw no issues. Planning Associate Heller stated the City’s Public Works Department also reviewed the site plans and expressed no concerns. She indicated the plans were also sent to Ramsey County Public Works, as The Station is located on County Road I, but there has been no response so far. Planning Associate Heller explained that with every Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission must review and address any potential adverse effects. She stated the
