MI2011-001 Consideration of a Minor Subdivision of 7337 Spring Lake Road Associate Planner Heller explained the Voltin Family is the property owner of 7337 Spring Lake Road, and are requesting City approval of a minor subdivision to split the property into two lots. The proposed subdivision would create a north lot that would have the original house and a south lot that is vacant. The applicants have submitted a Certificate of Survey that shows the proposed new lots. Associate Heller stated the lot was zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and the Comprehensive Plan designates this area for low density residential. The new vacant lot would likely be purchased with the intent of building a new home. She then discussed the prevailing setbacks on the lot and where a home would have to be positioned on the parcel in order to meet the City Code. The proposed subdivision meets all City Code requirements and Staff recommends approval of Resolution 949-11, approving the minor subdivision of 7337 Spring Lake Road. Chair Stevenson questioned if the property owners were aware that park dedication fees would need to be paid. Associate Heller stated they were aware of the fee, and staff is recommending that the amount be based on the square footage of the new lot only. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Meehlhause/Commissioner Cramblit. To approve Resolution 949-11, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Minor Subdivision of 7337 Spring Lake Road; Planning Case No. MI2011-001. Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried. B. VR2008-005 Consideration of Re -approval of Variances for the Select Senior Living Development Associate Planner Heller explained Joel Larson, representing Select Senior Living, has submitted a letter asking that all of the planning requests for the Select Senior Living development be reapproved again for one year. She noted on August 20, 2008, the original request was approved granting four variances for the development. The project has not yet moved forward due to financial reasons, but the applicant continues to work on getting the project funded. Per the City Mounds View Planning Commission Regular Meeting October 5, 2011 Page 3 Code, an applicant has one year to complete the work permitted by the variance or the applicant may file for an extension. Associate Heller recommended the Commission pass Resolution 950-11 reapproving the Select Senior Living variance requests. Commissioner Meehlhause questioned if the City collected additional fees for each variance re - approval process. Associate Heller stated there were no additional fees charged by the City for variance re - approval requests, but that there was a recent change to the City Code that adds a fee for subdivision reapprovals. Commissioner Schiltgen questioned if there was a limit to the number of times this item could be reapproved. Associate Heller indicated the Commission and Council could opt to not reapprove the planning requests, but City Code allows for the item to be reapproved indefinitely or until the applicant allows the variances to lapse. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Cramblit/Commissioner Meehlhause. To approve Resolution 950-11, a Resolution Recommending Re -Approval of the Variance Requests for Select Senior Living; Planning Case No. VR2008-005. 6. None.
