ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 31, 2000 DRAFT 28 years. Parcel A is currently accessed from Bussard Court using Parcel B and this access would ... continue. Parcel C is accessed from Snelling Avenue. ., A similar subdivision was reviewed on this property in 1988 with Planning Case #88-13. At the time Parcel C was proposed to be smaller. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and recommended approval to the City Council with conditions. The applicant withdrew the application prior to the City Council meeting. Parcel A is currently served by water and sewer. Parcel C has water available from Snelling Avenue. The sewer, however, is not available to this lot from Snelling Avenue. An easement will be needed from either Bussard Court or the west side of Parcel A if parcel C is not joined to the existing parcel to the south. Park dedication has not typically been paid with the relocation of a property line. If the City Council approves this as a separate parcel, park dedication would need to be determined. The dimensions are met, except for the lot width. The applicant currently has an 85 foot wide lot where 95 feet is required. Parcel A requires a variance for lot width. Parcel C only requires a variance if it is not attached to the property to the south. Ms. Randall advised that the Planning Commission recommended approval of Planning Case #00-06, Minor Subdivision and Variance for Parcel A, subject to the following conditions: . 1. Create a 20 foot wide private sewer easement for sewer access to parcel C, or that Parcel C be deeded directly to the property owner to the south. If the 20 foot wide private sewer easement is needed, a variance shall be granted for parcel C. 2. Rice Creek Watershed District approval. Ms. Randall stated that the Rice Creek Watershed District has indicated nothing will need to be done if the property is deeded to the property owner to the south. However, staff would recommend that condition number two remain part of the approval. Ms. Randall stated that staff would recommend adding condition number three, that the subdivision be recorded in the form of a Registered Land Survey. The applicant has informed staff that they will be selling Parcel C to the neighbor to the south (Rolf Engel property) to be connected to their property. If this is the case, the sewer easement and variance will not be needed for Parcel C. Parcel C would have to be connected to Mr. Engel's property as part of the recording. If condition number one remains, staff would recommend it be modified as follows: 1. Create a 20 foot wide private sewer easement for sewer access to parcel C, or that Parcel C be deeded directly to the property owner to the south. If the 20 foot wide private sewer easement is needed, a variance shall be granted for parcel C, and park dedication shall be determined by the City Council. e
