4.10 The existing review/approval process does not contain provisions for determining whether a new subdivision or minor subdivision fits into the character of a given location, but rather whether it meets the Comprehensive Plan goals & policies, and whether it meets the minimum zoning standards for single family residential development. 4.11 In the case of the Zheng proposal the City Planner has reviewed the broader area (County Road B to Interstate 35W and Trunk Highway 280 to Cleveland Avenue) to detennine whether other lot divisions have occurred. On Fulham Street alone, there have been 14 new lotslparcels created from their original lots/parcels. Further, this unique area has experienced the creation of 70 new single family residential lots or parcels from former larger parent/original lots or parcels, of which the majority of these divisions occurred after the current policies and requirements were established by the City (1960' sand 1970's). Although these lots or parcels are larger than average, it should be noted that the owners/developers of these lots or parcels made a conscience decision to design and subdivide their land to a size that was larger than the minimum policy or standard. 4.12 Also of note is Stone crest - a 22 lot/unit town home development directly west that redeveloped three large parcels. The PUD was approved by the City Council in September 2002. 4.13 Should the request be approved by the City Council, the staff, prior to the applicant's recording with the Ramsey County Recorder, must review a certificate of survey (completed) and a quit claim deed for compliance with the Council's approval. 5.0 STAFF FINDINGS & CONDITIONS: 5.1 In review of the Roseville City Code, the City Planner has concluded that the MINOR SUBDIVISION (as provided by the applicant) proposed under Section 1104.04E, meets requirements of Section 1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements), Section 1l03.06Al and Section 11.0406F of the Roseville City Code and the proposed two lot division meets the residential policies of Chapter 4 Land Use ofthe Roseville Comprehensive Plan and Map designation, affording up to 4 units per acre. Specifically, both parcels have a minimum width of 85 feet, a depth of 110 feet and a minimum of 11,000 sq. ft. and the proposal is just under 3 units per acre. 5.2 The City policy is to accept park land or cash in lieu ofland dedication for the creation of new lots. Because no park is adjacent or planned near these parcels, it is assumed that the creation of the new parcel will require a fee in lieu of land dedication amounting to $1,000 payable to the City of Roseville, upon issuance of a building permit.
