CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: June 13, 2001 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mike Cronin, Interim City Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #01-19, Minor Subdivision and Consolidation Walter and Dolores Dunnett, 1543 Oak Avenue Request The applicant is requesting that the property at 1543 Oak Avenue be subdivided and consolidated with the property at 3651 Snelling Avenue, described as "Parcel B" on the survey (Exhibit A). Background In the past, the house located at 3651 Snelling Avenue was built across the property line that it shares with 1543 Oak Avenue. This became an ongoing dispute between neighbors, recently resolved through legal proceedings. The property owners agreed that Mary Ann Bown (Exhibit B), property owner of 1543 Oak Avenue, would sell a portion of her property (legally described on the survey as "Parcel B", 785 square feet) to Walter and Dolores Dunnett (Exhibit C) at 3651 Snelling Avenue. Therefore, a minor subdivision is required to split Parcel B from Parcel A (1543 Oak Avenue) and consolidate Parcel B with the property located at 3651 Snelling Avenue. The proposed parcel of land will permit the home at 3651 Snelling Avenue to be in compliance with the setback requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Procedural Requirements & Review Minor Subdivision Section 22-12, (e) of the City Code authorizes the division of platted lots of record if the following conditions are met: 1. The owner of the platted lot to be so divided shall file with the zoning administrator a survey of the lot to be divided. A survey of the property as it exists for 1543 Oak Avenue was submitted. 2. The parcels resulting from such division, as depicted in said survey, shall not have an area, dimensions, or setbacks which are less than the minimum requirements specified for the zoning district in which the parcels are located in the zoning ordinance. The minor subdivision creates parcels A and B from the existing 1543
