DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION 2019-19
RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOT SPLIT (SUBDIVISION)
FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 963 CHIPPEWA AVENUE
(PLANNING CASE NO. 2019-04)
WHEREAS, Mark and Kris Morin (the "Applicant") have applied for a Lot Split
(Subdivision) as proposed under Planning Case No. 2019-04, for the property located at 963
Chippewa Avenue, and legally described in attached Exhibit A (the "Subject Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Subject Property is guided LR -Low Density Residential in the current
2030 Comprehensive Plan and is located in the R-1 One Family Residential District; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant seeks to subdivide the Subject Property into two parcels as
legally described and illustrated on survey attached as Exhibit B, in which Parcel A will be created
as a vacant parcel to be combined with the property of 530 Simard Street, located immediately to
the west, and Parcel B will be created as a new lot for the existing residential dwelling at 963
Chippewa Avenue; and
WHEREAS, on February 26, 2018, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a
public hearing on this matter, 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
request, 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 request for the property located at 963 Chippewa Avenue, as proposed under Planning
Case No. 2019-04 can be approved based on the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed lot split meets the spirit, purpose and intent of the City Code and is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
B. The proposed subdivision and lot combination will not create any negative impacts
to the surrounding uses or neighborhood.
C. The two lots resulting from the lot split will keep a single-family development
intact; while the new non -conforming lot to be created by this split will be
combined with the neighboring property only, thereby eliminating the need for a
variance for a reduced lot size or lot width standard for properties located in the R-
1 District.
D. The factual findings and analysis found in the Planning Staff Report, dated and
presented February 26, 2019 (and on file with the City of Mendota Heights) is
hereby fully incorporated into this Resolution
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that the Lot Split
request for the property located at 963 Chippewa Avenue, as proposed under Planning Case No.
2019-04, is hereby approved with the following conditions:
1) The newly created parcel identified and described as "Parcel A" on the attached
survey map prepared by Frank A. Cardarelle (dated Jan. 29, 2019) shall be
combined with the property identified as 530 Simard Street (PID No. 27-31300-02-
042).
2) The applicant shall dedicate, by recordable document approved by the city and filed
with Dakota County, a 10 -foot wide drainage and utility easement along the north
and east property lines of Parcel A; a 10 -foot wide drainage and utility easement
along the west and east property lines, and a 5 -foot wide easement along the south
property line of Parcel B; and a 5 -foot wide easement on each side (10 -ft. total) of
the shared line between Parcels A and B.
3) Approval of this lot split does not in any way provide a special or unique
circumstance, or hardship for the Applicant or future owners of Parcel A in
claiming a right to develop a new single-family dwelling development on said
Parcel A.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 5th day of March, 2019.
