Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the Registered Land Survey. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
In September 2016, the City Council approved a conditional use permit for the Elevage Development Group that would allow for the construction of a five-story hotel on the southwest corner of Baltimore Street and 107th Avenue. One of the conditions of approval at that time required the applicant to move a lot line because the drawings presented for approval indicated that part of the hotel would need to be constructed over a lot line. As you know, the City cannot issue a building permit for a building that sits over a property line.
You may recall that initially the hotel was going to be constructed on the same lot as the multi-tenant retail building that houses the US Post Office. Because of ownership rules and requirements on these parcels the applicant has chosen to create three new parcels so the multi-tenant retail building would be on one lot, the hotel on one lot, and Bricks restaurant on one lot, essentially making three lots out of two existing lots. With this proposal, no part of any building will be constructed over a lot line.
Normally the staff would call this action a waiver of platting, or more simply, a lot split. Because this is torrens property and because of the needs of the ownership group, the approval of a registered land survey is what is required to facilitate the creation of the new lot lines and what is required by Anoka County. This action acts like a waiver of platting but is called a registered land survey.
Exhibits have been provided that indicate where the property lines exists now, and where the new proposed property lines will be.
This would essentially be considered a housekeeping item. Park dedication is not required for the new parcel as commercial park dedication is calculated based on acreage, and park dedication was paid with the approval of Baltimore 2nd Addition.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
