�--. so the actual parcels may be slightly larger than proposed. If this request is approved, Planning Division staff would recommend adding a condition that would require the applicant to submit a new survey for staff review to ensure that it is consistent with the approval. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 6.1 Based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 4 and 5 of this report, the Planning Division cannot make a recommendation far the proposed MINOR SUBDIVISION AND VARIANCES which would allow the creation of two new substandard parcels from the existing property at 1754 Alta Vista Drive. Below are some findings of fact that the Planning Commission may consider in the formulation of a recommendation to the City Council: a. Findings of Fact: denial: The proposed parcels fail to meet the minimum standards established in the City Code and the applicant has not sufficiently demonstrated that the requested variances would relieve an undue hardship caused by the strict application of the Code requirements. b. Findings of Fact: approval 1. Other parcels of similar or smaller size have existed in the immediate vicinity since the area was platted in 1876. 2. Other parcels of similar or smaller size have been created with and without the necessary variances since 1983. 3. This minor subdivision was approved in 1986, since which time the minimum lot size and area requirements have not changed. 6.2 If the Planning Commission finds that it is appropriate to approve the requested MINOR SUBDIVISION AND VARIANCES, Planning Division staff recommends attaching the following conditions: a. Private utility easements must be dedicated to ensure that both parcels have the necessary access to sewer and water. Payment of the $1,500 Metro Area Sewer Availability Charge must be made as required upon the issuance of a building permit for new construction on Parcel A; b. Drainage easements consistent with Code requirements must be dedicated on Parcel A; c. Within thirty (30) days after approval by the City Council, the applicant shall supply the final survey to the Community Development Director for review and approval to ensure that the subdivision is consistent with the intent of the approval. The final survey must show the required easements and resolve the outstanding question of the size of the existing property (any additional, verified land area may be allocated to one or both of the proposed new parcels at the properiy owner's discretion); and d. A certificate of survey shall be required on all proposed parcels. After completion of the review and approval by the City Manager, the survey shall be recarded by the applicant with the Ramsey County Recorder within sixty (60) days.
