Planning Case MI2005-008. Consideration of a Minor Subdivision Request for 8140 Long Lake Road. Planning Associate Heller reviewed the staff report indicating the applicants, Dan Behnken and Tim Lundgren, 14003 Jodrell Street, Columbus Township, are requesting a minor subdivision of the property located at 8140 Long Lake Road. The applicants are proposing to divide the east 229.7 feet from the west 298 feet. Planning Associate Heller stated the subject property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. The subdivision, as proposed, leaves Parcel B with an unimproved right-of-way along the west property line. The applicants are proposing to use Parcel B as part of a possible larger development project and at that time Parcel B would front the right-of-way. Since Parcel B fronts this right-of-way it will be subject to a park dedication fee; therefore, Staff is recommending the fee equal 5% of the per-square-foot land value. The City requires that drainage and utility easements be dedicated around the perimeter of lots. Planning Associate Heller noted although there is no public hearing required; staff sent out informational letters to neighboring property owners. She recommended the Planning Commission approve the minor subdivision as requested. Chair Stevenson asked if the Commission is allowed to create a lot that cannot be accessed (land locked). Director Ericson replied typically the Commission would not approve a subdivision that would be land locked; however, this does abutt right-of-way and has full frontal access to a drive. He added requests have been approved in the past if there is a pending development. MOTION/SECOND: Stevenson/Hegland. To approve Resolution 821-05, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Minor Subdivision Request for 8140 Long Lake Road; Planning Case No. MI2005-008. Ayes –6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6. Other Planning Activity A.

She added Staff has received applications from these three Commissioners to renew their appointments. City Council will review the applications at their next meeting. B.
