<br />Park Dedication Requirements. <br /> <br />Every subdivision of land is subject to park dedication requirements. Because the subdivision <br />is less than 2 acres in area, the fee is 5% of the land’s market value, less the value of the land <br />where the homes sit. Rather than require an appraisal for every subdivision, staff typically uses <br />the assessment valuations available through Ramsey County. The combined land value for the <br />1.13 acres is $94,700. On a per-square-foot basis, the value is $1.91. If Parcel B is 15,975 <br />square feet, the proportional value would be $30,512.25. Five percent of that amount, or <br />$1,525.61, is the required dedication for this subdivision. This would need to be submitted as a <br />condition of City subdivision approval. <br /> <br />Easements. <br /> <br />With every subdivision of land, the City requires that drainage and utility easements be <br />dedicated around the perimeter of the lot. The survey provided by the applicants indicates the <br />presence of perimeter easements around Lot 1, Block 1, Lot 1, Block 1, Dalberg’s Sunnyside <br />Estates. To remain consistent with our easement policies, the survey will need to be revised to <br />show a five-foot easement on both sides of both proposed split lines. In addition, the following <br />language will need to be added to the survey: <br /> <br />“The proposed drainage and utility easement areas as shown herein shall be publicly dedicated <br />to the City of Mounds View by a separate document recorded with Ramsey County.” <br /> <br />Public Notice. <br /> <br />While a public hearing is not required for this request, staff did send out letters to neighboring <br />property owners as a courtesy, informing them of the proposed minor subdivision and the <br />anticipated meeting dates. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the Commission approve Resolution 739-03, a resolution <br />recommending approval of a minor subdivision of 8409 and 8419 Groveland Road, with <br />stipulations. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />Interim City Clerk/Administrator <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
