Ayes – 6 Nays - 0 Motion carried. 5. Planning Case No. MI00-001 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 630-00, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Minor Subdivision for Leo & Patricia Bergeleen, 8132 Long Lake Road. Leo and Patricia Bergeleen, the applicants, and Bob Pearson, their neighbor, were present. Planner Ericson gave the staff report as follows: 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. The existing lot to be subdivided is approximately 49,673 square feet, or, 1.13 acres, is zoned R- 1, Single Family Residential, and conforms to all the City’s lot requirements. It is 496.73 feet deep and 100 feet wide. 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, Bob Pearson, located at 2565 Sherwood Road. 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 for roadway purposes, no changes or special requirements are being made. Typically, it is the case with most minor subdivisions that the City would 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 will review the Certificate of Survey and any documentation needed to record the subdivision with Ramsey County. Last, 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. Mounds View Planning Commission August 16, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 3 Staff has indicated to Mr. Bergeleen and Mr. Pearson that because of this, no dedication would be required in this instance. (Section 1204.02 Sub. 3 of the Municipal Code exempts land improved with single-family dwellings.) However, if the property were ever split and developed into new lots, a park dedication fee would be required at that time. Planner Ericson stated staff is recommending approval of the proposed Resolution 630-00, a resolution recommending approval of the requested minor subdivision of 8132 Long Lake Road, with two stipulations. The first stipulation is to require the land subdivided from the Bergeleen’s parcel to be immediately combined with the parcel located at 2565 Sherwood Road, owned by Bob Pearson. Proof of combination shall be submitted to the City of Mounds View within 30 days of City Council approval. The second stipulation is that the applicant shall record the City Council resolution of approval, the Certificate of Survey, and the right-of-way dedication document (if required) with Ramsey County within 30 days of final adoption and present proof of such recording to the City of Mounds View. Failure to record these documents or provide proof of such recordation would cause this approval to be null and void. Chair Peterson commented that this is a very straight forward request. Commissioner Stevenson stated his concurrence. MOTION/SECOND: Miller/Thomas to approve Resolution 630-00, a Resolution Recommending Approval of the Requested Minor Subdivision of 8132 Long Lake Road. Ayes – 6 Nays - 0 Motion carried. Planner Ericson advised that this will be considered by the Council on August 28, 2000. 6. Staff Reports / Items of Information A. Previous Council Actions Planner Ericson reported on previous Council actions. He advised that the Council approved emergency Ordinance 667, a revision to Ordinance 653 which created a moratorium on tattoo and body piercing establishments, to extend the moratorium by another three months. This additional time will allow for further research and, if adopted on August 28th, there would be no gap between when the moratorium ends and the new ordinance is effective. The Council also accepted the resignation of Council Member Lynne Thomason which will be effective November 7, 2000. Planner Ericson advised the Council has authorized hiring of Kathleen Miller as the new City Administrator and she will start on September 18, 2000. On August 14, 2000 Council took action on the Walgreens PUD and adopted resolutions to approve the PUD and exchange of real property, the wetland alteration permit and development stage review, and the preliminary plat. The Council also gave first reading to ordinances to rezone the properties from B-3 and PF to PUD, to vacate the old Edgewood Drive right-of-way, and authorizing disposing by sale of City-owned real property, (as required by City Charter). Second readings will be considered on August 28, 2000. Planner Ericson reported the Council approved the TIF package for the proposed Mermaid Hotel and Banquet Center expansion on a unanimous vote. Mounds View Planning Commission August 16, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 4 The Council also gave second reading to Ordinance 658 related to fences and fence heights, and Ordinance 664 related to accessory buildings. Planner Ericson advised the Council extended their appreciation to the Planning Commission for their work on the ordinances. They will become effective 30 days from August 24th. The Council also approved a $9,000 expenditure for Phase II of the Highway 10 study by Springsted. Planner Ericson advised that the next Planning Commission meeting will be on September 6, 2000 and will include consideration of another minor subdivision, two variances, and a development request and plat approval for The Mermaid. 7.
