City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • March 26, 1996 Page 3 1 1. St. Anthony Health Center, 3700 Foss Road, Replat Request. 2 3 Planning Commissioner Delmonico was present to report on the Planning Commission 4 meeting of March 19, 1996. He reported Mr. Miller, owner and partner of Chandler Place 5 and St. Anthony Care Center, 3700 Foss Road is requesting to replat six lots into two 6 lots. The request is being made for two reasons. The first is to avail himself and the 7 partnership of lower bond interest rates for Chandler Place. The second is to allow 8 creation of lots which will conform to City Codes to allow for future expansion. Mr. 9 Delmonico reported the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend City 10 Council approval of the preliminary plat for St. Anthony Health Care Center/Chandler 11 Place as presented, with conditions that the final plat meet the ordinances and stipulations 12 placed by the City Council. 13 City Attorney William Soth noted the conditions set forward in his letter of March 15, 14 1996. He also noted the First Amendment to Declaration of Easements and Real 15 Covenants submitted this evening. He stated he would need to review the Declaration 16 and City Council approval tonight, if granted, should be subject to that review. He 17 explained the intention of the Declaration was to create parking easements, for the benefit of both parcels, over the two parcels and that they be recorded so there is permitted parking for both. He noted the other question for consideration was if the Council wanted 20 to approve the request and waive the required platting. Mr. Soth stated this was included 21 in the Section 1500.8 of the Ordinance. 22 Councilmember Wagner asked if the proposed addition would consist of assisted-living 23 apartments or a nursing home. 24 Mr. Miller reported the new addition is two story. The lower level will be a nursing 25 home and the upper level will consist of assisted-living units operated by Chandler Place. 26 Mr. Miller stated he had received approval for the subdivision without replatting from 27 Ramsey County. 28 Mr. Soth asked if this property was separately owned by two entities. 29 Mr. Miller stated the property was owned by the same partners. They are attempting to 30 refinance the property and have to close by June 1, 1996. The original intent was to 31 refinance the entire property including Chandler Place, St. Anthony Care Center and the 32 proposed addition. They were not allowed to refinance the proposed addition because 33 they do not have plans drawn yet. Mr. Soth explained the risk involved with granting the subdivision without replatting is that although it is not the current intent of the two parties who own the land, once the 36 property is separated it could be sold as two properties.
