Mounds View Planning Commission July 25, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 5 ________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Randy Heltzer, 8180 Eastwood, expressed concerns over the utilities. He asked the Commission to follow the utility codes and require the utility work be completed now rather than when the Church decides to turn the property into a housing development. with a one-story home and attached single-stall garage. He stated the parcel is adjacent to the Church’s 6.31-acre tract of land addressed at 8211 Red Oak Drive. Director Ericson reported the Church submitted a major subdivision application to split the home and 16,025 square feet from the Eastwood Road parcel, attaching the remaining 34,940 square feet to the larger Church property located at 8211 Red Oak Drive. He explained that because of the proposed subdivision, the total acreage of the Red Oak Drive parcel would increase from 6.31 acres to 7.12 acres. Director Ericson reminded the Commission that in December 2006, the Church requested approval of a minor subdivision of the property located at 8184 Eastwood Road. He reported the City Council ultimately denied the request finding the proposal could not be considered as a minor subdivision due to the acreage involved. He reported the Council’s resolution of denial was approved on February 12, 2007. Director Ericson displayed the plat and pointed out the proposed subdivision of 8184 Eastwood Road. He reported the Church has submitted the necessary title commitment, which has been forwarded to the City Attorney for review. He stated the Church had previously expressed a desire to develop a senior residential facility on the property; however, the requested subdivision does nothing to further this goal. He explained that plat approval would allow the church to sell off the residential parcel. Director Ericson explained the subdivision requirements, possible park dedication fees, easements, utilities, public notice, and the deadline for action of this request. Director Ericson stated staff recommends the Planning Commission favorably consider a recommendation for approval for City Council consideration. Commissioner Miller pointed out minor grammatical corrections to the resolution. Chair Stevenson clarified that the Planning Commission is basically approving an address change. Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek asked how deep lot two would become. Director Ericson replied 177 feet. Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek questioned to whom the fence belonged. Director Ericson referred to the plat and pointed out the lot lines. He indicated the fence would become part of the Church property after the subdivision. Chair Stevenson invited the public to speak on this request.
