Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the waiver of platting. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
Greg and Pam Matheson are requesting the approval to split their single family lot into two lots. They wish to keep their existing home intact, but split the property so they can sell the south half of their existing lot. The existing lot size is .70 acres in size. The new Parcel A would be 15,492 square feet while the new Parcel B will be 18,216 square feet. Both new lots meet the minimum lot size requirement in the R-1 zoning district of 10,000 square feet.
The existing home will remain on Parcel A and all required setbacks are met with this home. A new home could be built on Parcel B and meet all required setbacks as evidenced by the attached drawing. There is a basketball hoop located on Parcel B that will need to be removed prior to the city releasing the required documents for the recording of the lot split at Anoka County.
Park dedication is required for the one new lot in the amount of $4,449. This fee must be submitted to the city prior to the release of the required documents for recording of the lot split at Anoka County.
The parcel is serviced with three sanitary sewer and water services with Project No. 85-08. The unused service will need to have the curb stop box removed and curb stop valve plugged to abandon it in-place.
A tree preservation plan will be required with the new home permit application. The existing cottonwood tree at the southeast corner of the lot interferes with the city’s outdoor warning siren and needs to be removed.
A soil boring will be needed to verify the proposed lowest floor of the new house. The highest historic groundwater elevation will need to be identified and the lowest floor two feet about that elevation.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
