Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the waiver of platting. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The current lot is 1.15 acres in size and is located on Xylite Street just north of Rice Creek Parkway. The parcel is proposed to be split into two separate parcels, measuring 0.56 and 0.58 acres. There is an existing home that will remain on the southern parcel.
There is an accessory structure and driveway located on the proposed property line that will need to be removed prior to the release and recording or the lot split (Waiver). This accessory structure serves as the only garage for the existing home, so the applicant can either move the garage that will now sit on the property line or provide a new garage for the existing house. A condition has been added that addresses the moving of the driveway and structure and the need for a new garage on the southern parcel.
The exhibit that has been submitted indicates the existing home will meet setback requirements of the R-1 (Single Family) zoning district. It also indicates where the setback lines are for the proposed lot.
Because a new lot is being created with this subdivision, the owner of the property will need to pay the park dedication fee for one new lot. The 2019 park dedication fee is $4,449 per lot. This payment must be made prior to the City signing off on the waiver of platting for recording at Anoka County.
The current lot is served with two sets of sanitary sewer and water services installed in 1997 with project no. 94-06G. Per the City’s assessment policy for this area in place at the time, the parcel was only assessed for 1.3 lot units of improvements. A lot unit assessment covered sanitary sewer lateral, trunk sanitary sewer, water main, street and storm sewer. With the creation of a second lot, 0.7 lot unit charges become due. The current lot unit rate is $24,696 per lot unit for a charge of $17,287. The payment must be made prior to the City signing off on the waiver of platting for recording at Anoka County.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
