CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION 2018-55
RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOT SPLIT (SUBDIVISION) AND LOT
COMBINATION FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1629 DODD ROAD
AND 694 WENTWORTH AVENUE
(PLANNING CASE NO. 2018-18)
WHEREAS, Robbie and Courtney Bluhm, (as "Applicant" and "Owner") applied for a
Lot Split (Subdivision) and Lot Combination request as proposed under Planning Case No. 2018-
18, for the properties located at 1629 Dodd Road and 694 Wentworth Avenue, and legally
described in attached Exhibit A (the "Subject Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Subject Property is guided LR -Low Density Residential in the 2030
Comprehensive Plan and is located in the R-1 One Family Residential District; and
WHEREAS, Title 11-3-2 of the City Code (Subdivision Ordinance) allows the subdivision
of parcels, provided that the resulting lots are compliant with the requirements of the applicable
zoning district; and
WHEREAS, the Applicants seek to subdivide the existing 1.26 acre parcel located at 1629
Dodd Road into two separate legal parcels, which would create a new "easterly parcel" of 16,839
sq. ft. or 0.39 acres in size; and a "westerly parcel" consisting of 38,045 sq. ft., or 0.87 acres in
size; all legally described and illustrated on the survey of attached Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, the Applicants intend to sell-off the easterly 0.39 acre parcel containing the
existing single-family dwelling; while the westerly 0.87 acre parcel will be combined and legally
joined to the 0.42 acre property addressed as 694 Wentworth Avenue, thereby creating a new
combined lot area of 56,191 sq. ft. or 1.29 acres, to be owned and retained by the Applicant/Owners
and which is legally described and illustrated on attached Exhibit B: and
WHEREAS, on July 24, 2018, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a public
hearing on this matter at their regular meeting, and whereupon closing the hearing and follow-up
discussion on this item, the Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval (7-0 vote)
of the Lot Split and Lot Combination request as proposed under Planning Case No. 2018-18, with
certain findings of fact and conditions of approval as noted herein.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that the
Lot Split and Lot Combination request as proposed under Planning Case No. 2018-18, and for the
property located at 1629 Dodd Road and 694 Wentworth Avenue can be approved based on the
following findings of fact:
A. The proposed lot split and combination meet the purpose and intent of the City
Code under Title 11 - Subdivision Regulations and can be considered consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan.
B. The proposed lot split and lot combination will not create any negative impacts to
the surrounding uses or neighborhood.
C. The requirement to have the Applicant legally combine the two parcels eliminates
any nonconforming issue or status of the westerly parcel created by the original
split.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Mendota Heights City Council that the Lot Split
and Lot Combination request as proposed under Planning Case No. 2018-18, and for the property
located at 1629 Dodd Road and 694 Wentworth Avenue, is hereby approved with the following
conditions:
1. The westerly parcel to be created from the split of the 1629 Dodd Road parcel ((PID
No. 27-03800-37-113) shall be combined with the existing 694 Wentworth Avenue
Parcel (PID No. 27-03800-37-020.
2. The applicant shall dedicate all new drainage and utility easements as denoted on
the certificate of survey prepared by Bohlen Surveying & Associates, dated March
11, 2018 or a recordable document approved by the city and filed with Dakota
County.
3. The new 1.29 acre parcel to be created after the lot split and lot combination process
can only be used for one (1) single-family residential dwelling development per
City Zoning Code; unless the Owner receives full consideration and approval by
the city of a new subdivision under separate application(s), per City Code Title 11
— Subdivision Regulations. No new development can take place on the new 1.29
acre westerly (combined) parcel until after the two parcels are officially joined.
4. Since this application is entirely initiated by the Applicant and made by their own
action and preference, any approval of this lot split and lot combination does not in
any way provide a future hardship or allowances for reduced standards related to
platting, street/right-of-way designs, or any other subdivision or zoning standards
adopted at that time, should the owners elect to further subdivide this parcel in the
future.
Res. No. 2018-55 Page 2 of 6
5. The existing shed on the newly created westerly parcel must be removed within one
year of this approval date, or a building permit must be applied for on the new
created lot to maintain the shed's existence.
6. Because there appears to be a "gap" of some sorts acknowledged on the Applicant's
survey, the new westerly combined 1.29 acre lot must be a continuous lot or parcel
of record with no gaps.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 7th day of August, 2018.
