PUBLIC HEARING: Resolution 9917, Approving the Voyager Subdivision Preliminary Plat at 7900 Sunnyside Road. Ms. Baldonado requested the Council approve the Voyager Subdivision Preliminary Plat at 7900 Sunnyside Road. She reported the proposed plat would split the existing property into two lots. The first lot would be a new lot for a proposed single family home residence and the second lot would have an existing home on the corner lot. She explained both lots meet all R-1 zoning requirements. She commented further on the request and noting the park dedication fees would be collected upon final plat approval before the plat recording. Staff recommended approval of the Voyager Subdivision Preliminary Plat. City Attorney Riggs stated there were several items that should be added to the Resolution noting this parcel shall enter into a City subdivision agreement, which will have all of the terms and agreements for the plat. In addition, the Resolution shall be amended to read the applicant will provide title work and the attorneys plat opinion and engineers opinion will be completed from the title work. Mayor Lindstrom opened the public hearing at 7:29 p.m. Molly Tanner, 7935 Sunnyside Road, explained she lived across the street. She indicated she was somewhat concerned about this because both lots would become quite small. She questioned if sewer and water would be added to the new lot. Ms. Baldonado reported this was proposed, but noted the City did not have an official plan for this lot. Ms. Tanner indicated she moved into her home in 1978. She indicated she proposed several additions to her house over the years and they were refused because the building would take up too much of the lot size. She questioned when Mounds View changed and lot size didn’t matter anymore. She stated she did not support the proposed lot split. Brian Amundson, 3048 Woodale Drive, stated he understood this was a residential lot being divided by the current property owner. He commented on how there was a need for additional affordable housing in the community. He suggested the City not charge a park dedication fee as this would drive up the cost for the residential lot and would make the property less affordable. He
