Memo to Mayor and City Council/AS 01-04 June 18, 2001 Page 2 property. The applicant owns additional land in Big Lake Township that is proposed to be subdivided under the County's cluster subdivision provisions. Lot Requirements Two of the parcels exceed the minimum lot area and lot width requirements. Parcel A of 10 acres will be a corner lot and will have frontage on both 209~h Avenue and Meadowvale Road, however, it will gain its access from the existing driveway on Meadowvale Road. The County comments that Parcel A's access should come from 209th Avenue. Staff has no objection to a shared driveway provided a joint access/driveway agreement is recorded against both parcels. Parcel B is 10.08 acres and will be for the existing dwelling and other structures. Parcel C is .54 acres and 50 feet in width. This parcel does not meet the minimum lot area requirements for the Rla District. The applicant desires to dedicate this to the City in order to provide a public trail corridor for recreational purposes. The City Engineer notes the need for right of way dedication to the City for 209t~ Avenue and drainage/utility easements along all lot lines. He also notes a minor encroachment into a delineated wetland for the driveway to the proposed dwelling on Parcel A that should qualify for an exemption from the Wetland Conservation Act rules. The applicant will be required to comply with Sherburne County's requirements. Park Dedication The Park and Recreation Commission, at is June 13, 2001 meeting, reviewed the request for park dedication requirements. The plan that was reviewed by the Commission indicated that Parcel C was 1.36 acres in area and 112 feet in width. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that Parcel C be accepted for park dedication in lieu of cash. The applicant spoke of creating a public recreation trail through Parcel C and through land under his ownership in Big Lake Township that will be subdivided as a cluster subdivision. Based on the reduction of Parcel C, staff would recommend that it be combined with Parcel B and that the trail corridor be granted via easement with dedication occurring by a cash dedication. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council approve the request for the administrative subdivision to create three parcels with the following conditions: I. All comments of the City Engineer be addressed. 2. All comments of Sherburne County be addressed. 3. Parcels C and B shall be combined. S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\CCREPRTS\AS01-04.DOC
