1 <br /> 1 <br /> Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes <br /> August 19, 2008 <br /> Page 2 <br /> 1 the square footage of lots. Mr. Hayes has provided staff with a copy of a minor subdivision for <br /> 2 the Good and Hayes properties located at Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Olson's Addition respectively. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 The Commission reviewed the Ramsey County GIS site plan of the subject properties. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Mr. Paul Hayes, 4020 Silver Lake Terrace, addressed the Planning Commission and stated he <br /> 7 would like to purchase 16 additional feet of lakeshore from his neighbor, Dr. Good. He stated he <br /> 8 currently owns a small bit of lakeshore, roughly 8 to 10 feet. In addition, Dr. Good will be <br /> 9 purchasing roughly five feet of property on the street side from him. The reason for this is that <br /> 10 many years ago Mr. Goods tarred the five feet, assuming it was his lot. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Acting Chairperson Jenson asked whether the lots will meet the minimum square foot <br /> 13 requirements. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes replied both of the lots would comply with the City Code <br /> 16 requirement to be at a minimum of 9,000 square feet in size. Currently Dr. Good's lot is more <br /> 17 than 22,000 square feet. With the proposed change Dr. Good's lot size will drop to 20,223 square <br /> 18 feet and Mr. Hayes' lot would be 17,434 square feet. Both lots will be well above the minimum <br /> 19 lot size requirement. In regards to setback requirements, Mr. Hayes' lot at 4022 Silver Lake <br /> 20 Terrace meets all of the requirements. Dr. Good's lot is shy on the front setback; however, the <br /> 21 structure on the property was built in 1961 and his situation would be grandfathered in due to the <br /> 22 code being codified in the mid 1970's. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Acting Chairperson Jenson asked if the tarred area being purchased by Dr. Good is part of the <br /> 25 driveway. Mr. Hayes replied it is more of a parking area. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Acting Chairperson Jenson indicated he does not have any further questions, as the requested lot <br /> 28 subdivision and combination meets the requirements for lot size square footage and frontage. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated she will work with Mr. Hayes to have the <br /> 31 application completed and this item will be included on the September Planning Commission <br /> 32 agenda as a public hearing. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 IX.

REPORTS FROM STAFF <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes reported the real estate market update is included in the <br /> 41 Commission's packet. She noted activities are still low, and there seems to be no change as far as <br /> 42 the sales analysis in the Twin Cities area. The Twin Cities area is comparable to the national <br /> 43 area; St. Anthony is a little better when compared to the Twin Cities region. <br /> 44 <br />
