ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—OCTOBER 25, 2021 7 With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:09 p.m. B. Planning Case — 21-021 — Minor Subdivision — 3300 New Brighton Road and 1893 Beckman Avenue Senior Planner Jagoe stated the Minor Subdivision has been requested to allow for the alteration of the property line between the subject properties. Currently, the two properties have joint access to a driveway that crosses the shared property line. The Applicants are requesting the Minor Subdivision to alter the property line to include all of the shared driveway. This would involve adding 796 square feet (excluding ROW) of property to Subject Property A, owned by the Applicants. Staff commented further on the request and recommended the Council hold a public hearing. Councilmember Holden stated she would be requesting Conditions 1 and 2 be pulled because these have never been required from other applicants.
