Mounds View Planning Commission September 7, 2005 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />the owners are tentatively proposing to put a six-foot fence there in the future which would then <br />tie off the back yard and provide closure. He added this is not part of the original request but the <br />resolution gives the owners flexibility in the future. <br /> <br />Mr. Gullickson stated the picket fence is not presently being replaced due to finances; however, <br />replacement is speculative for the future. <br /> <br />Director Ericson stated the resolution provides for the future area where a six-foot fence could be <br />added. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland asked if this would require another permit. Director Ericson stated yes, a <br />zoning permit for the new fence would be required. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson noted if a six-foot fence were added to this area the request would not come <br />before the Commission because the area will have already been approved. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hegland/Meehlhause. To approve Resolution 812-05, a Resolution <br />Recommending Approval of a Variance Request to Replace a Six-Foot Tall Fence in a Front <br />Yard Area; Planning Case No. VR2005-012. <br /> <br /> Ayes –5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Planning Case MI2005-005. Consideration of a Minor Subdivision Request – One <br />Lot into Two. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson reviewed the staff report indicating the applicant, <br />Donald Olson, 2933 Oakwood Drive, is requesting approval to subdivide his lot located at 7851 <br />Spring Lake Road. He would like to add the new lot to his Oakwood Drive parcel to provide <br />more backyard space. <br /> <br />Director Ericson stated the property at 7851 Spring Lake Road would be divided into four <br />proposed tracts. Tract A would be deeded to 7865 Spring Lake Road; Tract B would be deeded <br />to the City for right of way; Tract C would be the remainder of 7851 Spring Lake Road; and <br />Tract D would be added to 2933 Oakwood Drive. He noted all zoning requirements have been <br />satisfied; Tract D would not be considered buildable because it would not front an improved <br />street. He added the subdivision would not result in additional dwelling units nor will it intensify <br />development; therefore, Staff recommends no park dedication fees be applied to this subdivision. <br />He reviewed the conditions of the minor subdivision. <br /> <br />Director Ericson noted the Planning Commission has not received any letters from neighbors <br />opposing the subdivision request. He recommended the Planning Commission approve the <br />minor subdivision as requested.
