Mounds View Planning Commission October 18, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 2 ________________________________________________________________________ 4. Citizens Requests and Comments on Items Not on the Agenda None. ______________________________________________________________________________ 5. Planning Cases A. MI2006-001: Consideration of a Minor Subdivision at 8409 Groveland Road Applicant: Tony & Cherie Hoffman Address: 8409 Groveland Road Community Development Director Jim Ericson summarized the application for consideration of a minor subdivision at 8409 Groveland Road. He explained the proposed subdivision is essentially a lot line adjustment shifting the common lot line between 8409 and 8413 Groveland Road five feet further south onto 8409 Groveland. Director Ericson clarified the Hoffmans own lots A and B. He pointed out lot C is no longer owned by the Hoffmans and is not affected by this subdivision request. Director Ericson explained the purpose for the request is because the Hoffmans would like to build a new home on the vacant lot and the proposed floor plan necessitates an additional five feet of space to satisfy setback requirements. Community Development Director Jim Ericson informed the Planning Commission all requirements are satisfied. He explained the two lots would be switching frontages and the only impact would be the requirement for a new five-foot drainage and utility easement. Director Ericson indicated subdivisions are usually subject to park dedication requirements; however, the Hoffmans paid this fee in 2003 as a condition of a minor subdivision approval. He explained requests such as this would not require a public hearing, as the only properties affected would be the Hoffman property. Community Development Director Ericson expressed this is a straightforward request and Staff recommends approval of the resolution. Chair Stevenson asked Community Development Director Ericson what the timeline for removal of the existing garage and whether it was required in the original approval. Community Development Director Ericson stated the garage was supposed to have been removed within a year. He reported Mr. Hoffman stated it would be torn down in November 2006 to make room for the new home. Commissioner Miller asked about the shed and whether it needed to be in the resolution. Community Development Director Ericson replied the shed would need to be removed from the survey but would stay in the resolution. He stated the resolution is correct as written. Commissioner Miller stated it looked like the majority of the shed was on parcel C.
