Brimeyer Group for Police Chief recruitment services. Carl Schmidt stated: Jim Brimeyer attended our last work session and went over his recruitment process. As you know, our Police Chief is retiring on April 1 and staff believes it is in the best interest of the City to hire a consultant and Mr. Brimeyer seems to be the best for this job. He outlines that he reports his services ranging to $13,000 to $16,000 with an additional $2000 to $3000 in administrative expenses. He also indicated that this figure could be less, depending on how much work staff can do. At this time, staff is looking for approval of resolution 5307. Motion/Second: Quick/Marty. Motion to approve resolution 5307 authorizing the City to enter into an agreement with the Brimeyer Group for Police Chief recruitment services. VOTE: Ayes - S. Nays - 0. Motion carries. ITEM 9E Consideration of resolution 5305. A resolution approving a minor subdivision for a lot split, for 8444 Greenwood Drive. Requested by Dan Danielson, representing property owners, Ernest and Marlene Danielson. Bob Long: Dan Danielson is requesting a minor subdivision of his parents' property, located at 8444 Greenwood Drive. The City subdivision regulations allow for a minor subdivision in the event that properly does not exceed one acre in size, in that property does not result in more than two lots being created. This subdivision will create two lots. All of the dimensional criteria for the this minor subdivision are met with the code. 7S feet is required for minimum street frontage for an interior lot, as opposed to 78. Eleven square feet are required for a lot. The proposed legal descriptions and certificate of survey have included review by City staff as well as the City attorney, and we have easement documents that do dedicate to this City, the drainage and the utility easements that are shown on the certificate of survey which are five feet on the side property lines and 10 feet front and back. With any subdivision of land, there is an issue that needs to be discussed, and that is the park dedication requirement, according to the City code, chapter 120402, ten percent (10%) the value of the land is required for park dedication and that typically would be a five percent (S%) dedication-fee for a minor subdivision, but this is where I misspoke earlier because it is an excess of one acre, ten percent (10%) is required according to the City code. The Ramsey County assessor's office indicates that the value of the land on this property is $47,700. Ten percent of that is $4700. In my staff report to you, I have a mistype there, it shows $4471, actually it should be $4770, and that does throw off the final dedication amount. The dedication amount is shown to be $1574, which takes into consideration 66% deduction for the area of land that is underneath the existing house. That amount according to our City code, would need to be paid. On January 6, this was approved by the planning commission. On 5/7/99, the resolution was recommended to the City Council that this minor subdivision be approved subject to stipulations that are present in this resolution S30S. Those stipulations are simply that the applicant make a park dedication payment as indicated in the staff
