Item No: 8 Meeting Date: April 20, 2005 Type of Business: Commission Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Kristin Prososki, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Consideration of a Minor Subdivision of 8060 Groveland Road; Planning Case MI2005-003 Introduction: Integra Homes, represented by Ron Lillestrand, has applied for a minor subdivision of the property located at 8060 Groveland Road. The applicant is proposing to divide the east 187.02 feet from the west 271.25 feet. Minor subdivisions are those divisions of land less than two acres in size in which only one additional lot is created. Minor subdivisions do not require a public hearing and in contrast to a major subdivision, a Certificate of Survey rather than a plat is all that is needed to record the change with Ramsey County. Discussion: The property at 8060 Groveland Road is presently 61,855 square feet, or 1.42 acres. The proposed subdivision would split off the east 187.05 feet of the lot from the west 271.10 feet. The existing home would remain on the east lot (Parcel A) and the west lot (Parcel B) would eventually be joined with adjacent properties as part of a proposed redevelopment. The Planning Commission will review the plans for the proposed redevelopment in May of this year. The applicant has submitted a Certificate of Survey for the proposed subdivision, which identifies the lot to be created as Parcel A and the remainder lot as Parcel B. Zoning Requirements The subject property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. The minimum lot size for an interior (a lot which is not on a corner), single-family lot is 11,000 square feet. As proposed, Parcel A would have an area of 25,344 square feet and Parcel B would have an area of 36,611 square feet. The existing lot has 135 feet of frontage on Groveland Road, which is 60 feet more than the minimum requirement of 75 feet for a single-family residential property. The subdivision, as proposed, would actually land lock Parcel B (it would not have street frontage), however, the applicants are proposing to use Parcel B as part of a larger redevelopment project. Parcels A will remain zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and Parcel B will also be zoned R-1, until such time that the parcel is redeveloped and rezoned to an appropriate classification.
