Request for Action <br />To <br />Item Number <br />Planning Commission <br />5.1 <br />Agenda Section <br />Meeting Date <br />Prepared by <br />Public Hearings <br />March 26, 2024 <br />Zack Carlton, Community Development Director <br />Item Description <br />Reviewed by <br />Ken Beaudry <br />Chris Leeseber , Senior Planner <br />Reviewed by <br />■ Ordinance Amendment — Lot Line Changes and <br />Platting Small Parcels, Case No. OA 24-02 <br />Action Requested <br />Recommend, by motion, approval of the proposed ordinance amendment. <br />Background/Discussion <br />At the request of the applicant, and with the support of the Planning Commission and City Council, staff propose <br />an ordinance amendment that will allow a subdivision of land where a section of property is split from a larger lot <br />and attached to an adjacent parcel without platting. <br />The proposed amendment creates an exception to the platting requirements for unique situations where platting a <br />larger parcel is not necessary. Currently, ordinance states that any subdivision of land which results in a parcel that <br />is less than 20-acres for residential, or 5-acres for commercial requires a plat. The amendment removes this <br />requirement when the parcel being split includes a combination with an adjacent parcel. The exception also <br />requires that there shall be no increase in the number of parcels after the combination has been completed, and <br />that all parcels must be legal conforming upon recording. <br />In working with Sherburne County and the city attorney, the proposed amendment will create the ability within <br />our ordinance to complete the boundary line adjustment that the applicant has proposed in the past. <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />■ Supports the growth and development of the community. <br />■ Agile, adapting to the changing needs of residents and businesses. <br />Attachments <br />■ Draft Ordinance <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br />rPI1EIEI AY <br />NATUREE <br />Updated.• January 2023 <br />Page 166 of 201 <br />
