FHR Minor Subdivision EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Planning Commission Regular Meeting: May 25, 2021 Tentative City Council Meeting: June 15, 2021 AGENDA ITEM: 12-18-MS Minor Subdivision to Split 20 Acres from an 80 Acre Parcel. AGENDA SECTION: Public Hearing PREPARED BY: Anthony Nemcek, Planner AGENDA NO. 5.a. ATTACHMENTS: Site Location; Lot Split Exhibit APPROVED BY: AK RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to recommend the City Council approve the minor subdivision to split the southern twenty acres from the greater 80-acre parcel. SUMMARY Applicant: City of Rosemount Property Owner: Flint Hills Resources PID: 340150075013 Location: East of Akron Avenue and ½ Miles North of Bonaire Path Area in Acres: 80 Acres Comp. Guide Plan Designation: Agriculture Current Zoning: AG-Agriculture This minor subdivision is being initiated by the City on behalf of Flint Hills Resources to facilitate a land swap between the City and the Minnesota National Guard. Flint Hills Resources will be donating the newly created 20-acre parcel to the City which will subsequently exchange that parcel with the Minnesota National Guard for the northern 20 acres of its property on the west side of Biscayne Avenue. The City Council and facilities task force has identified the property on Biscayne Avenue as a site for a future public works/public safety facility. Because the Minnesota National Guard has a policy of maintaining its current footprint in the metropolitan area, any sale or transfer of property must come with the acquisition of property in equal area. There is not a project associated with the proposed subdivision, and it is unknown if the Minnesota National Guard will ever construct anything on the subject parcel east of Akron Avenue. Any future project would be required to go through the site plan review process and meet the standards contained within the City Code. Minor Subdivision The proposed subdivision will split the southern 20 acres from an 80-acre parcel. The site is within the AG-Agriculture land use designation and is zoned AG-Agriculture. Lot standards for the AG zoning district as well as the proposed dimensions of the new 20-acre parcel are shown on the table below. No new structures are being proposed with this subdivision request. The proposed subdivision meets all the standards of the City Code. 2 Standard Required Proposed Lot Area 2.5 acres 20 acres Lot Width 300 feet 590 feet RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the proposed minor subdivision to split the southern 20 acres from an 80- acre parcel. This recommendation is based on the information contained within this report.
