City Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 13, 2022 Page 3 Motion by Councilmember Webster, seconded by Councilmember Walker, to approve Resolution 22-083 — Setting the Final 2023 Tax Levy and General Operating Budget for the City of St. Anthony Village. Motion carried 4-0. V. REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF. 9 A. Resolution 22-084 — Approving the Lot Split at 2601 Stinson Blvd NE. 10 11 City Planner Steve Grittman reviewed in late 2020, the owners of the Urban Grove manufactured 12 home park requested a simple subdivision of the Urban Grove 15+ acre parcel, carving out a 13 separate 4.3 acre parcel along Stinson Parkway for an assisted -living residential project, to be 14 known as Hayden Grove. That subdivision was approved by the City Council and the Hayden 15 Grove project was commenced. As part of the due diligence process by a prospective purchaser 16 of the Urban Grove site, it was discovered that the recorded subdivision did not match that of the 17 original application nor the Council's approval. Two discrepancies were found. First, the north- 18 south boundary line between the two parcels appeared to be shifted west by 100 feet, 19 significantly reducing the size of the Hayden Grove site. Second, the Hayden Grove property 20 was shown to have also acquired a narrow strip of land along the north side of the Urban Grove 21 site, along the south side of the existing alley. 22 23 In investigating the discrepancies, it was found that the north -south boundary line was in fact a 24 mistake of the Hennepin County GIS department and that boundary is being redrawn on the 25 County's property website to match the original approval. The narrow strip, however, was a 26 mistake in the legal description submitted by the original applicant's surveyor. As such, the two 27 property owners (of both Hayden Grove and Urban Grove) have submitted a joint application to 28 redraw the subdivision, correcting the errant descriptions. 29 30 The new application subdivides that remnant strip from the Hayden Grove (SA Senior Living) 31 parcel and re -conveys it to the owners of the Urban Grove parcel (The Village LLC). To ensure 32 that this remnant strip is not left as a separate parcel, a condition of this approval is to require 33 that the strip is concurrently recombined with the Village LLC parcel. That intent is expressed in 34 the proposed legal descriptions submitted as a part of the application. By approving this minor 35 subdivision, the Council would return the properties to match the descriptions as originally 36 intended and approved. 37 38 Minor subdivisions proceed directly to the City Council for consideration, without a requirement 39 for Planning Commission review or public hearing. 40 41 Staff recommends approval of the proposed subdivision, based on the following findings: 42 43 1. The proposed parcels exceed both zoning requirements and the minimum thresholds for 44 consideration of subdivision without platting. 45 2. The parcels created will accommodate the proposed land uses allowed on the property under 46 existing and/or future plans.
