WHEREAS, Matt Gustafson (as "Applicants") has applied for a Lot Line Adjustment as
proposed under Planning Case No. 2020-07, for the two parcels located at 1865 and 1883 Dodd
Road (the "Subject Properties"), and legally described on attached Exhibit A and the attached
survey Exhibit A-1, and
WHEREAS, the Subject Properties are both guided LR -Low Density Residential in the
2030 Comprehensive Plan and are situated 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, on April 28, 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 (5-0 vote) to
approve the Lot Line Adjustment application between 1865 and 1883 Dodd Road, 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. 2020-07 and for the properties located
at 1865 and 1883 Dodd Road 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.
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, except for the driveway encroachment issues as identified and noted
in this report, which issues should not preclude the approval of this lot line
adjustment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Mendota Heights City Council that the Lot Line
Adjustment as proposed under Planning Case No. 2020-07 and for the properties located at 1865
and 1883 Dodd R, is hereby approved with the following conditions:

convey the portion of lands under the lot line adjustment requested herein.

over the shared lot line between Lots 35 and 36 to meet the 5 -ft. setback required

relocated/re-install along the shared lot line boundary between Lots 35 and 36.
