RESIDENTIAL LOT INTO TWO LOTS
Willard Haro has requested to subdivide his lot into two lots. Administrator
Achen reported that both lots meet frontage and area requirements. However,
the south lot which borders the City of Fridley will be land locked without
street paving. The City of Mounds View has an existing 33' road easement with
sewer and water services located in it. The Staff has discussed the possibility
of a future road with the planner for the City of Fridley but Fridley does not
forsee the need or use or a road and is not interested in the joint construction
of one. The general area of the south lot has been proposed as a holding pond
area in the Cities Report on Water Drainage Facilities. The south lot would be
subdivided further into five 87' frontage lots. An interior road system with
entrance from Wooddale Drive and County Road H2 would make better use of all land .
for further development. The Staff has recommended that the issue be tabled until
a road system can be devised or approval with the condition that no building permits
be issued until landlocked lot road service.
Mr. Haro pointed out that his other lot, #39 is already land locked and asked what
difference one more land locked lot would make. He explained that he and his
wife had applied to have their home refinanced and had submitted their application
with the subdivided lot size, and that if it was not approved to subdivide by
the Council, they would then have to reapply for their refinancing.
Attorney Meyers reported that the City presently owns two of the lots in the area
in question and that there had been some discussion on putting in a road.
Administrator Achen suggested that the Staff could contact the citizens in the
area and find out what interest would be in putting a road in through the area.
IMP (Baumgartner - Ziebarth) to table request of Willard Hero for subdivision of
one residential lot into two lots, at 3048 County Road H2.
I °ISP (Baumgartner- HOdges) to direct staff to examine area in question for possible
future roadways in order to facilitate development, and that the staff draw up
proposed alternative routes through the area as needed to supply adequate
information.

Administrator Achen questioned how the staff should approach the study, if
before, at the tame time or after the comments are received from the citizens.
Attorney Meyers felt it should lead up to an informational hearing, and that
inquiries should be made to see if there are enough people Interested,
Councilmember Rowley expressed concern that the Staff might spend a great deal of
time working on the study, only to find out that there was little or no interest.
Administrator Achen stated that it should not involve a great deal of time, and
even it the plan was turned down, at least the comments of the people and tentative
plans could at least be put on paper and would be on file.
Attorney Meyers recommended that the City send out postcards, requesting the
citizens to fill them out and to indicate their interest in an informational
hearing. Administrator Achen stated that the postcards could be sent out and
received back in time to be reviewed by the June 13 meeting.
