ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 26, 2015 9 <br /> <br />23. The proposed subdivision and lot consolidation is unlikely to have negative impacts to the <br />property or to the neighborhood as a whole. <br />24. The proposed subdivision and lot consolidation and requested variances do not appear to <br />be based on economic considerations alone. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler explained that the Planning Commission reviewed this request and <br />recommended approval (5-1, Holewa) of Planning Case 14-032 for a Minor Subdivision, Lot <br />Consolidation, and Variance at 4605 Prior Avenue and 4703 U.S. Highway 10, based on the <br />findings of fact and the submitted plans in the January 26, 2015, Report to the City Council, as <br />amended by the following three (3) conditions: <br /> <br />1. The applicant shall file a copy of the City Council resolution approving the subdivision <br />and lot consolidation with Ramsey County and a copy shall be provided to the City on or <br />before November 1, 2015, as in accordance with relevant State and County statutes. <br />2. The applicant shall file the twenty (20) foot wide sanitary sewer easement as depicted on <br />the survey with Ramsey County and a copy of the document shall be provided to the City <br />within ninety (90) days of the final approval date. The easement document shall be <br />approved by the City Attorney before filing with the County. <br />3. Monuments or stakes shall be placed and installed at all corners and angle points of the <br />resultant parcel at 4703 U.S. Highway 10. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the property could support all drainage for the site. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler explained that if Arden Manor or the Big Ten Supper Club were to <br />propose new or additional improvements, staff would have to reevaluate the existing drainage on <br />the site and how the new development would impact the existing drainage. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant questioned if any permits were issued for the paved surface. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler did not believe that any permits were issued for the parking surface <br />extension by the City or through the Rice Creek Watershed District. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Woodburn moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to approve Planning Case 14-032 for a Minor Subdivision, Lot <br />Consolidation, and Variance at 4605 Prior Avenue North and 4703 U.S. <br />Highway 10, based on the findings of fact and the s ubmitted plans, as <br />amended by the three (3) conditions in the January 26, 2015, Report to the <br />City Council.
