In 1993, the City approved a subdivision of the Property into two lots (the "1993 Subdivision"), A copy of the resolution approving the 1993 Subdivision is attached to this application as Exhibit 1. The subdivision presently proposed in this application is a Minor Subdivision under the City's Code of Ordinances; it modifies the existing boundary between the two lots. The modification of the existing boundary line is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and meets the standards for the zoning district in which the Property is located, subiect, however, to the City's minimum front footage requirement, which was not met in connection with the 1993 Subdivision, and will not be met by the proposed subdivision. The proposed subdivision will, however, better conform to that requirement than was the case in the 1993 Subdivision. 9. Except as noted, the following information must be submitted for all applications: Narrative: There are some platted residential lots within the City that are different than the current standards. In reviewing requests for approval of lot splits in such areas, the City is particularly interested in determining that the lots to be created will be consistent with the character of the surrounding area. A written narrative must accompany the application presenting information demonstrating that the proposed subdivision will be comparable to those already existing in the immediate neighborhood. Although the Property had access from and to Hamline Avenue as shown on attached Exhibit 2, the 1993 Subdivision provided for access over an easement located on neighboring property to the north, as shown on Registered Land Survey No. 189, A copy of Registered Land Survey No, 189 showing that easement is attached as Exhibit 3. Because this easement was not included as a memorial on the certificate of title of the neighboring property, it cannot be used for access purposes against the wishes of the owner of the neighboring propeliy. The re-subdivision of the Property is being undertaken for purposes of providing each of the two existing lots with direct and independent access to Hamline Avenue, without resort to that easement. 10.

Five sets must be 24" x 36" in size and the five sets must] 1" x 17" in size. A final plat submission must provide three sets be 24" x 36" in size and seven sets must be 11" x 17" in size. A subdivision plat also requires a digital copy for GIS records. 11. A minor subdivision proposal is required to provide a concept plan for the existing parcel(s) and/or a topographic survey indicating the property line change. The submittal must include three sets at 24" x 36" in size and seven sets at 11" x 17" in size. 12.
