<br />. <br /> <br />4.

The suhmitted snrvey was prepared by a registered land surveyor and meets City <br />requirements. <br />2. As noted above, the proposed lots meet all requirements ofthe underlying R-1 <br />Zone. <br />3. The proposed subdivision is unlikely to have any negative affect on the puhlic <br />welfare. The proposed lots are comparable to and compatible with neighboring lots <br />within the subdivision. Moreover, if dwellings are constructed on the lots, they will <br />contribute to the local tax base without significantly taxing the existing <br />infrastructurc. <br />4. The applicant has not met all the applicablc requirements of the Subdivision <br />Ordinance. The Subdivision Ordinance requires a twelve foot utility easement <br />centered on rear and other lot lines (Section 1130.05 Subd. I.), A condition has <br />heen included to resolve this minor issue. All other provisions of the Subdivision <br />Ordinance arc met. The proposed lots have access to a public road, have adequate <br />buildable areas, and meet the requirements of the R-1 Zone. <br />5. All required application fees have been paid. This subdivision does result in the <br />creation of two new residential lots. Under Section 1130.08 of the Subdivision <br />Ordinance, the park dedication fee would apply to this case, The Recrcation and <br />Conservation portion (Subd. 2) requires that all subdivisions dedicate a portion of <br />their land for recreation and conservation purposes or, as deemed comparahle value <br />by thc City Council, pay a park dedication fee in place of a land dedication. <br /> <br />Although the applicant is not proposing a land dedication, a subdivision resulting in <br />two new residential lots would require a land dedication of six percent, which <br />would be .14 acrcs or ahout 6,194 square feet. Given the small size of the potential <br />land dedication and the availability of other nearby park facilities, a park dedication <br />fee may be more appropriate then a land dedication. In lieu of the land dedication, <br />the City Council may require the applicant to pay, as an equivalent contribution, an <br />amount in cash equal to the percentage of the land required to be dedicated, <br />multiplied by the fair market value of the property at the time of the final approval <br />of the subdivision. <br /> <br />Should a fee be accepted in lieu of a land dedication, the park dedication fee would <br />be six percent of the land value of the property at the time of final approval ofthe <br />subdivision. The 2006 market value according to Ramsey County records is <br />$199,000. This value would result in a park dedication fee of$1l,940.
