FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1875 AND 1885 HUNTER LANE
(PLANNING CASE NO. 2020-02)
WHEREAS, John Cosgriff, in cooperation with Joy Van, (as "Applicants") have applied
for a lot line adjustment, as proposed under Planning Case No. 2020-02, for the two parcels located
at 1875 and 1885 Hunter Lane (the "Subject Properties"), and legally described on attached
Exhibit A and illustrated on attached survey Exhibit C; and
WHEREAS, the Subject Properties are both guided LR -Low Density Residential in the
2030 Comprehensive Plan and are located in the R-1 One Family Residential District; and
WHEREAS, Title 11-1-5C of the City Code (Subdivision Regulations) allows for the
readjustment of lot lines between or within legal parcels of records, provided the resulting lots are
compliant with the requirements of the applicable and underlying zoning district; and
WHEREAS, the Applicants have agreed to adjust and realign the most northwesterly
parcel boundary line of the southerly parcel identified as 1885 Hunter Lane (PID No. 27-53500-
01-021), and create a new east/west shared boundary line between 1885 Hunter Lane with the
northerly parcel identified as 1875 Hunter Lane (PID No. 27-18200-00-050), whereby said
adjustment creates a new parcel of land located directly behind 1875 Hunter Lane, which is to be
combined with 1875 Hunter Lane, as described and illustrated on attached Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, on February 27, 2020, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a
public hearing on this matter, and whereupon closing the hearing and follow-up discussion on this
item with staff and the Applicant, the Planning Commission recommended unanimously (7-0 vote)
to approve the request for Lot Line Adjustment between 1875 and 1885 Hunter Lane, with certain
conditions and findings of fact to support such approval.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that the
Lot Line Adjustment as proposed under Planning Case No. 2020-02 is hereby approved, with the
following findings of fact:
A. The proposed lot line adjustment request meets the general purpose and intent of
the City Code and is considered consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
B. Approval of the lot line adjustment will have no visible impact on the subject
properties; and poses no threat or creates any negative impacts on the character of
the neighborhood or the Mississippi River Critical Corridor area.
C. The proposed adjustment does not cause any non -conformities on either parcel,
based on the applicable zoning district standards for lot size and frontage
requirements.
D. The Council may place conditions upon the Lot Line Adjustment and Variance.
Variance conditions must be directly related to and roughly proportional to the
impact created by the variance. Conditions related to this transaction are as follows:
1) Applicant shall file lot/parcel combination documents with Dakota County
indicating the new parcel created by this line adjustment shall be added to or
combined with 1875 Hunter Lane property, Parcel ID No. 27-18200-00-050.
2) All transfer or deed documents which convey the portion of lands under the lot
line adjustment and lot split process shall be recorded with Dakota County.
3) No development activities, including grading/filling work, landscaping, tree
removals, retaining walls, fencing, stairway or walkways, or any structure
requiring a zoning and/or building permit will be allowed unless authorized
under a separate critical area permit application.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Mendota Heights City Council that the Lot Line
Adjustment for the properties located at 1875 and 1885 Hunter Lane, as proposed under Planning
Case No. 2020-02, is hereby approved.
