Community Development Department 651-490-2279. fax: 651-490-2931 March 21, 2002 Mr. Paul King 2000 3rd Street White Bear Lake, MN 55110 RE: Minor Subdivision of property at 1938 Lake Street, Roseville. Dear Mr. King: Thank you for your most recent submittal seeking a division of land for property you own in Roseville. I have reviewed and discussed the project and information packet with our City Attorney and determined that your request will be processed as a Recombination. Specifically, Section 11 04.04B reads: Recombination: To divide one recorded lot or parcel in order to permit the adding of a parcel of land to an abutting lot and create two (2) buildable parcels, the proposed subdivision, in sketch plan form, shall be submitted to the City Council for approval. No hearing or Planning Commission review is necessary unless the proposal is referred to the commission by the Community Development Director for clarification. The proposed recombination shall not cause any portion of the existing lots or parcels to be in violation of this regulation or the zoning code. Within thirty (30) days after approval by the City Council, the applicant shall supply a certificate of survey to the Community Development Director and City Manager for review and approval. After completion of the review and approval by the Community Development Director and City Manager, the survey shall be recorded by the applicant with the Ramsey County Recorder within sixty (60) days after approval by the City Manager. The information packet you submitted was most helpful in understanding the existing conditions on the property and your intentions. However, we suggest that the setback between the existing home and the new property line be seven feet wide versus the proposed ten feet. The purpose of this lot line change is to create a wider lot (65 feet wide) onto which a home could be constructed. It should be noted that the City Code allows structures in this area of Roseville to be a minimum of five feet from a property line, but we feel this distance is too close. The City has determined that the pond in the rear yard is a storm water pond for which any structure must be set back a minimum of 20 feet. Further, any structure constructed must have a lowest floor elevation a minimum of two feet above the pond outlet. In review of your conceptual proposal, a slight modification to the placement of a new home will have to occur.
