Consideration of a Resolution approving a Minor Subdivision of 256 Cleveland Avenue SW creating one new lot for development of an 11,200 SF office building Motion by Councilmember Jacobsen, seconded by Councilmember Bauman to open the Public Hearing. 5 Ayes, 0 Nays - Motion Carried The Public Hearing was opened at 7:02 p.m. Motion by Councilmember Strub, seconded by Councilmember Burg to Adopt a Resolution approving a Minor Subdivision of 256 Cleveland Avenue SW creating one new lot for development of an 11,200 SF office building subject to four conditions. City Manager Lotter indicated Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development/Planning Director Gundlach would be presenting this item to the Council. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development/Planning Director Gundlach explained the applicant is requesting a Minor Subdivision for 256 Cleveland Avenue SW, subdividing off the southern 93' of the existing 330' lot. The existing property is 1.5 acres or 64,099 SF in land area (minus the Cleveland Avenue roadway easement). The newly subdivided lot (Proposed Parcel A) would be 45,163 SF in land area or 1.04 acres. The remaining lot (Proposed Parcel B) would be 93' wide and 18,936 SF in land area or 0.43 acres. The existing single-family home would remain on Proposed Parcel B; however, the accessory structures would be brought into compliance with the requirements of Section 4-530. This includes moving the barn off the rear property line to a 5' setback and elimination of one of the detached garages. Post subdivision, both lots will be in compliance with minimum lot area and lot width requirements for the R-1, Single Family Residential zoning district. Should the Council approve the Rezoning, no minimum lot area or width requirements exist for the B-1, Limited Business zoning district. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development/Planning Director Gundlach reported the applicant has made application for a Rezoning, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and Site Plan for development of the northerly one acre property with a commercial office use, which is being considered by Council separately. However, the requests are conditioned on all four applications being approved whereby the lot wouldn't be approved for subdivision without approval of the Rezoning, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and Site Plan. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development/Planning Director Gundlach explained there are various development fees that will be due at the time a building permit is requested for development of Proposed Parcel A. These fees include, but are not limited to, a Sewer Access Charge through the Metropolitan Council and park dedication. City Code Section 26-18 outlines which projects are eligible for Minor Subdivision approval verses a Preliminary and Final Plat. Because this subdivision is of small size and conditions are well defined, only a Minor Subdivision is necessary. As stated in Section 26-18 (1) the City Council shall hold the public hearing after proper published and mailed notice to property owners within 350'. She reported proper published and hailed notice has been given. Staff indicated as of the drafting of this memo, several objections have been voiced at the Planning Commission's June 20" public hearing. These comments were reviewed with the Council and staff recommended Page 3 of 9 Public Hearing 1.
