Schultz Minor Subdivision 7581 Spring Lake Road Planning Case No. 518-98 April 15, 1998 Page 2 Issues: The proposed legal descriptions and certificate of survey have been reviewed by the City's Engineering Technician, who finds them in compliance with City standards in the proper form for recording. Staff has sent a copy of the certificate of survey to the City Attorney for his comments and to arrange for the drafting of an easement document to convey the drainage and utility easements shown on the survey. The only other issue that exists with regard to this request is the park dedication requirement as stated in Section 1204.02 of the Municipal Code. It states that for all subdivisions of less than one acre, a five percent (5%) park dedication fee is required to be paid before the subdivision can be approved. According to the Ramsey County assessor's records, this property is valued at $39,700. Five percent of that would amount to $1,985. Subdivision 3 of this Section, however, allows for the exclusion of the land under the existing home remaining after the subdivision. With this exclusion, the dedication requirement would be reduced to $1,032. This item was to be heard by the Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission at their last meeting on March 26, 1998, but the meeting was canceled due to a lack of quorum. While the Commission is on record as requiring the full amount of any park dedication fee, since this is the first minor subdivision under the new fee requirements, staff felt that a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission would be appropriate. Their next meeting will be April 23, 1998, at which time they will make a recommendation regarding this request. Recommendation: Approve Resolution 539-98, a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of this minor subdivision subject to stipulations.
