MI2014-001 Minor Subdivision Applicant: Rick Beyer Address: 3033 Bronson Drive Planning Associate Heller explained that Rick Beyer, the new owner of 3033 Bronson Drive, has applied for a minor subdivision to split the lot in half. This subdivision would create one additional lot, and the applicant plans to build a house on the new vacant lot to sell. The applicant has provided staff with a Certificate of Survey showing the proposed subdivision. It was noted the applicant would be responsible for paying the City a $1,500 park dedication fee for the new lot. As the proposed request meets all City Code requirements, Staff recommends approval of the minor subdivision. Vice Chair Schiltgen asked if anyone in the audience wanted to speak about the case. Commissioner Carvelli-Yu questioned when the new home would be built. Rick Beyer, 3033 Bronson Drive, explained he did not have a strict timeline. He reported he was working on completing the lot split at this time. He would then be busy renovating the old house. Bill Doty, 3049 Bronson Drive, explained he lived adjacent subject property. He asked how the new driveway would be aligned. Mr. Beyer explained how the driveway would be realigned on the property on the west side of the house. Al Cleland, 3025 Bronson Drive, thanked staff for the information provided on this planning case. He requested that the nature of the neighborhood be maintained. He expressed concern with the water that ponded to the rear of the subject property. Mr. Beyer commented he was not going to build a huge house and that it would not stick out from the surrounding homes. Associate Heller explained that any drainage from the new house must remain on the property and would be addressed when the property was graded after construction.. Commissioner Love asked if there was enough room to build a garage on the west side of the house. Mounds View Planning Commission March 19, 2014 Regular Meeting Page 3 ________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Beyer commented there was approximately 33 feet of open space on the west property line.

County Road 10 Corridor Overlay District Discussion Planning Associate Heller informed the Commission that the corridor continues to be the Council’s priority and the Planning Commission has been reviewing the Zoning Code in order to better promote and accommodate development along County Road 10. She explained the Commission has been discussing creating a Corridor Overlay District in order to give more flexibility to new development projects on the corridor. The City is willing to be flexible on requirements such as setbacks, parking, density and height, but the City also wants projects that are high quality. Staff reviewed proposed language for an overlay district Ordinance with the Commission and requested comments and suggestions. Commissioner Birken explained that she did not receive a copy of the draft Ordinance language within her packet. Associate Heller provided each of the Commissioners with a copy of the draft language and suggested this item be continued to the April 2, 2014 meeting for further discussion. ______________________________________________________________________________ 7.
