RESOLU�'ION 2015-95
RESOLITTION APPROVING A LOT SPLIT AND VARIANCES
�OR CITY-OWNED PROPERTY
WHEREAS, the City of Mendota Heights has applied for a lot split and variances for a portion of city-
owned property within Wentworth Park as proposed in Planning Case 2015-41 and described in Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter at their
regular meeting on November 24, 2015.
NOW TI�EREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that the lot split and
variance requests as proposed in Planning Case 2015-41 are hereby approved based on the following findings of
fact:
1. The proposed subdivision request meets the purpose and intent of the City Code and is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The purpose of the requests are to formalize the existing conditions and address the non-conformities
created by the encroachsnents onto city-owned property.
3. The temporary non-conformities created as a result of the requests will be eliminated once the property
in-question is combined and dissolved by the private property owners.
4. The existing conditions were not created by the current private property owners and create a practical
difficulty in subdividing a reasonable amount of land in compliance with the applicable Code
requirements.
5. Approval of the requests will not negatively impact the park or the character of the neighborhood.
6. Approval of the requests is reasonably necessary to correct a surveying error and does not intend to
establish a policy of selling city parkland.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Mendota Heights City Council that the lot split and variance
requests as proposed in Planning Case 2015-41 are hereby approved with the following conditions:
1. A purchase agreement is entered into between the City and the private property owner to be approved by
the City Council prior to the lot split being recorded by Dakota County.
2. Upon closing on the sale of the property in-question, the private property owner is required to combine
and dissolve the property into 750 Upper Colonial Drive.
3. All costs related to the sale and recording of the required documents are paid for by the private property
owner.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this first day of December, 2015.
