March 22, 2016 Page 4 of 11 shall hold the public hearing after proper published and mailed notice to property owners within 350'. Proper published and mailed notice has been given. As of the drafting of this memo, one public inquiry has been received and there are no known objections to this request. Staff recommends approval of the request contingent on the applicant legally combining the newly subdivided parcel with 50 32nd AVE NW. Councilmember Burg asked how the lot combination would be completed. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development/Planning Director Gundlach explained the applicant will have to create some sort of title to purchase it from the property owner to the south. Once the applicant has title, it would be recorded at Ramsey County and the two parcels would have to be combined for tax purposes. Mayor Johnson questioned why the applicant was requesting the minor subdivision. Bruce Knight, 50 32" d Avenue NW, indicated the two encroachments would allow his neighbor to sell his home as buyers were currently shying away from the home. In addition, he had an interest in leaving his retaining wall as is. Mayor Johnson asked if the existing fence would remain in place. Mr. Knight commented the fence would remain in place and he did not object to this encroachment. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development/Planning Director Gundlach provided further comment on the encroachments between the two properties. Councilmember Bauman supported the proposed agreement between the two property owners. Councilmember Jacobsen questioned the size of the fence encroachment. Mr. Knight estimated the encroachment was only six inches. He anticipated that in the future, the fence would be replaced and the encroachment would be eliminated. Mayor Johnson asked for additional comments from the public, there were none.
