ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION—JUNE 6, 2001 2 <br /> Mr. Cronin stated a minor subdivision was required to split plat Parcel B from Parcel A(1543 Oak <br /> Avenue) and consolidate Parcel B with the property located at 3651 Snelling Avenue. The <br /> proposed parcel of land would; permit the home at 3651 Snelling Avenue to be in compliance <br /> with the setback requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. <br /> Mr. Cronin reviewed the procedural requirements which the City had reviewed for this property <br /> as detailed in the staff report. She noted, Section 22-12, (e) of the City Code authorizes the <br /> division of platted lots of record if the following conditions were met: <br /> 1. The owner of the platted lot to be so divided shall file with the zoning administrator a survey <br /> of the lot to be divided. A survey of the property as it existed for 1543 Oak Avenue was <br /> submitted. <br /> 2. The parcels resulting from such division, as depicted in said survey, shall not have an area, <br /> dimensions, or setbacks which are less than the minimum requirements specified for the <br /> zoning district in which the parcels are located in the zoning ordinance. The minor <br /> subdivision creates parcels A and B from the existing 1543 Oak Avenue parcel. The existing <br /> house will be located on Parcel A, maintaining the same structure setbacks and creating a <br /> parcel 96,853 square feet in area. Parcel A meets all of the minimum dimensional <br /> requirements for the R-1 District. Parcel B, 785 square feet in area, is not being created for <br /> development since it will be consolidated with the property at 3651 Snelling Avenue as a part <br /> of this application. <br /> 3. It is determined that the proposed division will not be detrimental to the public welfare or <br /> injurious to adjacent tracts in the area in which the subdivision is located. <br /> The division will not negatively impact neighboring properties. <br /> Mr. Cronin noted Section 22-12, (e) of the City Code authorized the consolidation of platted lots <br /> of record if the following four conditions were met: <br /> 1. The owners of such platted lots to be consolidated shall file with the City Planner a survey or <br /> registered land survey of the lots to be consolidated. <br /> A survey of the property as it exists for 1543 Oak Avenue was submitted, showing Parcel B, <br /> the portion that was to be combined with 3651 Snelling Avenue. <br /> 2. The parcel resulting from the consolidation shall not have an area, dimensions or setbacks <br /> which are less than the minimum requirements specified for the zoning district in which the <br /> parcel is located in the Zoning Ordinance. <br /> The consolidated parcel would exceed all minimum dimensional criteria for the district and <br /> allow the property at 3651 Snelling Avenue to meet the minimum side yard setback <br /> requirements and become a conforming lot. Currently, the house at 3651 Snelling Avenue <br /> was located over the property line and was nonconforming by side yard setback. <br /> 3. It was determined that the proposed consolidation would not be detrimental to the public <br /> welfare or injurious to adjacent tracts in the area in which the consolidated parcel was <br /> located. <br /> The consolidation would not negatively impact neighboring properties. <br /> Mr. Cronin summarized the zoning review for this Planning Case and advised that the City of <br /> Arden Hills received the completed application for this request on May 8, 2001.
