1. The submitted survcy was prepared by a registered land surveyor and meets City requirements. . L As noted above, the proposed lots meet all requirements ofthc undcrlying R-2 Zone. 3. The proposed subdivision and consolidation is unlikely to have any negative affcct on the public welfare. The previously plattcd lots wcre less than 5,000 square feet, which is below the 11,000 squarc foot minimum lot size. The consolidation will rcmove the potential that the originally platted 5,000 square foot lots would be developed individually. The proposed lots are comparable to and compatible with neighboring lots within the subdivision. Finally, if a dwelling is constructed on thc lot, it would contribute to thc local tax base without significantly taxing the existing infrastructure since the lot already has access to City infrastructurc. 4. The applicant has mct all other applicable requirements of thc Subdivision Ordinance. Thc applicant has providcd the necessary easements and access for the property. There is sufficient buildable space on the proposed lot for constmction without a variance. 5. All required application fees have bccn paid. This subdivision does result in the creation of onc new residential lot. Under Section 1130.08 of the Subdivision Ordinancc, the park dedication fee would apply to this case. The Rccrcation and Conscrvation portion (Subd. 2) requires that all subdivisions dcdicate a portion of thcir land for recreation and conservation purposes or, as dccmed comparable value by the City Council, pay a park dedication fcc in place of a land dedication. Although the applicant is not proposing a land dedication, a subdivision resulting in . onc new residential lot would require a land dcdication of six percent, which would be .09 acres or 4,025 square feet. Given the small size of the potential land dedication and the availability of other nearby park facilities, a park dedication fee may be morc appropriate thcn a land dedication. In lieu of thc land dedication, the City Council may requirc the applicant to pay, as an equivalcnt contribution, an amount in cash equal to the percentage ofthe land rcquired to be dedicated, multiplied by the fair market value of the property at the time of the final approval of the subdivision. Should a fee bc accepted in lieu of a land dedication, the park dedication fce would be six perccnt of the land value of the propel1y at the timc of final approval of the subdivision. The 2006 market value according to Ramscy County records is $606,500. This value would result in a park dedication fce of$36,390. The Planning Commission may recommend a course of action to the City Council rcgarding a land dcdication or park dedication fee.
