Item No: 5A Meeting Date: December 21, 2005 Type of Business: Commission Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Consideration of a Minor Subdivision of 8140 Long Lake Road; Planning Case MI2005-008 Introduction: Dan Behnken and Tim Lundgren have applied for a minor subdivision of the property located at 8140 Long Lake Road. The applicant is proposing to divide the east 229.7 feet from the west 298 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 8140 Long Lake Road is presently 66,466 square feet, or 1.53 acres. The proposed subdivision would split off the east 229.7 feet of the lot from the west 298 feet. The existing home would remain on the east lot (Parcel A) and the west lot (Parcel B) could eventually be joined with adjacent properties as part of a future redevelopment. 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 28,132 square feet and Parcel B would have an area of 38,334 square feet. The existing lot has 143 feet of frontage on Long Lake Road, which is 68 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 possible larger redevelopment project. Parcel 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 possibly rezoned to an appropriate classification.
