Mounds View City Council August 28, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 13 Acting Mayor Stigney stated for the record that this second reading and adoption were approved by the unanimous vote of the Council. G. Consideration of Resolution 5458, a Resolution Approving the Final Plat for the “Mounds View City Hall Addition” related to the Walgreens PUD. This item was removed from the agenda upon adoption. H. Consideration of Resolution 5463, a Resolution Approving a Minor Subdivision of 8132 Long Lake Road. Planning Associate Ericson explained that Leo Bergeleen has applied for a minor subdivision to subdivide his lot located at 8132 Long Lake Road and has submitted a Certificate of Survey to effectuate the subdivision. The subdivided portion would not be used for development purposes, but would instead be combined with a property fronting Sherwood Road. In essence, this is a simple land transaction whereby one property owner deeds part of his lot to another property owner. No new lot would be created by this action. However, because a change in property lines is involved, the City is required to approve the action, which is defined as a subdivision of land. Mr. Bergeleen proposes to split off the back 300 feet of the property and has entered into an arrangement to sell this subdivided portion to a neighbor located at 2565 Sherwood Road, Bob Pearson. Mr. Pearson is planning to combine Mr. Bergeleen’s rear 300 feet to his own property, thus no new lot would be created. After the subdivision and land transfer, Mr. Bergeleen’s lot would be 19,770 square feet. Staff has forwarded the Certificate of Survey to the City’s Engineering Technician as well as to the Director of Public Works. Other than dedication of the westerly 30-foot of the subdivided lot for roadway purposes, no changes or special requirements are necessary. Typically, it is the case with most minor subdivision that the City will require dedication of perimeter drainage and utility easement areas. However, because both lots have already been developed and no new development is being proposed, dedication of new easements would not be needed. The City Attorney has reviewed the Certificate of Survey and drafted the easement for the roadway dedication, which was executed by the Bergeleens and sent to the County for recordation. Planning Associate Ericson explained that most subdivisions, minor or major, are subject to park dedication requirements. This request is unique in that, again, no new lot is being created and no new development will occur. Staff has indicated to Mr. Bergeleen and Mr. Pearson that because of this, no dedication would be required in this instance. The City Attorney has confirmed this interpretation. Planning Associate Ericson advised that the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval or Resolution 5463, a resolution approving a minor subdivision of 8132 Long Lake Road for Leo and Patricia Bergeleen, subject to stipulations.
