RESOLUTION 2016-48
RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOT SPLIT AND VARIANCE
AT 810 AND 804 RIDGE PLACE
WHEREAS, Scott/Nancy Knowlton and John Steenberg have applied for a lot split and
variance as proposed in Planning Case 2016-13 and described in Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a public hearing on this
matter at their regular meeting on May 24, 2016.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that
the lot split and variance requests as proposed in Planning Case 2016-13 are hereby approved
with 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 property in -question is not proposed to be split in order to create an additional
buildable lot.
3. The temporary non -conformity created by the proposed subdivision will be eliminated
once the property in -question is combined and dissolved by the property owner of Lot 7.
4. The proposed subdivision ensures that Lot 7 has ownership of the existing view -shed,
without constraining potential future improvements into the rear and side yards on Lot 6.
5. The proposed subdivision will have no visual impacts on the existing conditions of either
property and the new interior side lot line configuration will provide an alignment that is
consistent with the parcels to the north along Ridge Place.
6. Approval of the requests will not negatively impact the essential character of the
neighborhood.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Mendota Heights City Council that the lot split
and variance requests as proposed in Planning Case 2016-13 are hereby approved with the
following conditions:
1. Upon closing on the sale of the property in -question, and no later than October 31, 2016,
the property owner shall be required to combine and dissolve the property into Lot 7 (804
Ridge Place).
2. The applicants shall dedicate the required drainage and utility easements along the new
interior side lot line, as shown on the Certificate of Survey included in the application
materials, with Dakota County.
