e . . I. The suhmitted survey was prepared hy a registered land surveyor and meets City requirements. 2. As noted above, the proposed lots mcet all requirements of the underlying R-2 Zone. 3, The proposed subdivision and consolidation is unlikely to have any negative affect on the public welfare. The previously platted lots were less than 5,000 square feet, which is below the 11,000 square foot minimum lot size. The consolidation will removc 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 the lot, it would contrihute to the local tax hase without significantly taxing the existing infrastructure since the lot already has access to City infrastructure. 4, The applicant has met all other applicable requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. The applicant has provided the necessary cascmcnts and access for the property, There is sufficient buildable space on the proposed lot for construction without a variance. 5, All required application fees have been paid. This subdivision does result in the creation of one new residential lot. Under Section 1130.08 of the Subdivision Ordinance, the park dedication fee would apply to this casc, Thc Recreation and Conservation portion (Subd. 2) requires that all subdivisions dedicate a portion of their land for recreation and conservation purposes or, as deemed comparable value by the City Council, pay a park dedication fce in place of a land dedication. Although the applicant is not proposing a land dedication, a subdivision rcsulting in one new residential lot would require a land dedication of six percent, which would be .09 acres or 4,025 square feet. Given the small size ofthe potential land dedication and the availability of other nearby park facilities, a park dedication fee may be more appropriate then a land dedication. In lieu of the land dedication, the City Council may require the applicant to pay, as an equivalent contribution, an amount in cash equal to the percentage of the land required 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 be accepted in lieu of a land dedication, the park dedication fee would bc six percent of the land val ue of the property at the time of final approval ofthe subdivision, The 2006 market value according to Ramsey County records is $607,500. This value would result in a park dedication fee of$36,390. The Planning Commission may recommend a course of action to the City Council regarding a land dedication or park dedication fee.
