City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for November 9, 2016 Page 1 of 6 MEMORANDUM DATE: November 9, 2016 PC Agenda Item 3.A TO: Planning Commission FROM: Eric Zweber, AICP, Interim City Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #16-023 – Public Hearing Applicant: Kathleen Trussell (Behr) Property Location: 1401 County Road E Request: Minor Subdivision and Variances Requested Action The applicant has requested approval of a minor subdivision to allow a lot split of the property located at 1401 County Road E to create two lots where there is currently one. The applicant has also requested two variances, first to allow one lot to be less than the 95 foot lot width requirement and the second from the requirement that all minor subdivisions meet the existing provisions of city code. Background 1. Overview of Request: The minor subdivision and variances requested are to allow for the subdivision of a single parcel located at 1401 County Road E into two parcels (Parcel A and Parcel B) to facilitate the sale of both parcels to settle the estate of Rhoda Behr, a resident for almost 70 years. Over the past several decades, their much larger original parcel has been split several times to facilitate sales and new construction of homes along Arden Oaks Drive. This last subdivision would result in the fourth and final lot being split from the larger original parcel. This fourth lot had previously received subdivision approval in 1979, but was never recorded. An existing house is located on the current parcel, with existing connections to sewer, water, and utilities. The sewer line that serves the house is located on the eastern side of the house, which extends southeasterly and over the proposed lot line. An easement is proposed along the inside of each Parcel A (6 feet) and Parcel B (12 feet) to accommodate the existing sewer line.
