27 d. The existing or anticipated development on the lot or lots resulting from the proposed 28 subdivision or consolidation conforms, or is made to conform, to the zoning regulations 29 applicable to the subject property. 30 e.The proposed subdivision does not qualify for park dedication under the requirements 31 established in Section 1103.06 of this Title. 32 S TAFF R EVIEW OF M INOR P LAT 33 The Planning Division has determined the proposed consolidation of three existing lots into two lots, 34 one for each of the proposed Dominium residential projects, and an outlot, for the future Twin Lake 35 Station commercial development (55,000 sq. ft), complies with all of the Minor Plat criteria. 36 The proposed plat on property zoned Community Mixed-Use-4 District consolidates the existing lots rd 37 addressed as 1717, 1743, and 1755 County Road C into Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 1, Twin Lakes 3 38 Addition, and Outlot A. The outlot will require future platting in order to permit the proposed 39 commercial development. 40 Plat proposals are reviewed primarily for the purpose of ensuring that all proposed lots meet the 41 minimum size requirements of the zoning code, adequate streets and other public infrastructure are 42 in place or identified/constructed, and that storm water is addressed to prevent problems either on 43 nearby property or within the storm water system. As a Minor Plat of a community mixed-use zoned 44 property, neither the zoning nor subdivision codes establish minimum requirements for area or width 45 of lots, but the proposal is subject to other requirements established in Title 11, Subdivision, of the 46 City Code. The City and Watershed have specific storm water management requirements, which 47 plans have been submitted to the City Engineer for review and will be submitted to the Watershed 48 for approval. The project is also required to comply with various Zoning requirements as part of the 49 formal redevelopment plan for the property. It should be noted the applicant is working with the 50 City Engineer on the vacation of a public roadway right of way, Herschel Street. The project will 51 require a Public Improvement Contract for the installation of a new traffic control signal at Herschel 52 St and County Road C, the installation of new turn lanes on County Road C and replacement of 53 sidewalk, trees and lighting along County Road C related to the new turn lanes. The project does not 54 require new public streets or public utilities and there will be no public improvements within the site 55 as all streets and utilities will be private (Civil Plans Attachment C). That said, Ramsey County is 56 requesting a 5.1-foot dedication of additional right-of-way along County Road to accommodate the 57 relocated sidewalk. Such a dedication, additional right-of-way along a County road, has been an 58 action deemed acceptable under the Minor Plat process. Kimley-Horn is working with Ramsey 59 County to determine whether the area can be included in a sidewalk easement and not right-of-way 60 as currently proposed. If acceptable to Ramsey County, the right-of-way dedication will become an 61 easement on the final recorded documents (plat mylars) signed by the City. 62 Planning Division staff and the Development Review Committee (DRC) have reviewed the proposed 63 development plans and find they are consistent with the standards of the City Code. The City 64 Council has previously seen conceptual development plans in association with the Conditional Use 65 request for the Dominium family affordable project. That said, staff will continue to work with 66 Launch Properties and Dominium, their architects and engineers on finalizing the development plans 67 as this project moves forward. In the meantime, staff has determined the proposed information and 68 details containedin the submitted application support the approval of the requested Minor Plat.
