Action Requested
Recommend, by motion, approval of the preliminary plat of ER Ventures 2ndAdditionwith the
condition that Variance V 19-01 permitting a deviation from the minimum lot size has been approved.
Background/Discussion
The applicant, Venture Pass Partners, has requested to
subdivide the 2.77 acre parcel at 17994 Zane Street
NW into two commercial lots.
One lot will house an existing billboard, and the
second lot will be reserved for future commercial
development. The applicant included sketch plans for
a possible development on the second lot, but a
formal application has not been received. The
proposed lot, to house the billboard, is below the
minimum lot size required in the C-3 (Highway
Commercial) zoning district, and the applicant
submitted a variance request (V 19-01) for approval of
the non-standard lot.
Park Dedication
The Parks and Recreation Commission will review the
subdivision for Park Dedication requirements on
February 13, 2019. Their recommendation will be
brought forward to the City Council on February 19,
2019.

Applicable Regulations
Preliminary Plat
City ordinance section 30-375 outlines the required findings for approval of a Preliminary Plat.
1.The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning regulations (article VI of this chapter) and conforms in
all respects with all requirements of this Code, including the zoning regulations and this article.
Both parcels in the subdivision abut and have access to a public street. With approval of the
minimum lot size variance (V 19-01) both parcels will satisfy the dimensional standards
outlined in the ordinance. No change to the zoning has been approved/requested, and any
future use will need to be consistent with the zoning regulations at the time of approval.
If the associated variance is not approved by the Board of Adjustments, the plat will need to
be recommended for denial based on non-compliance with this standard, or recommended
for approval with a condition that the appealed variance be approved at the City Council.
2.The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable general and specialized city, county, and regional
plans, including, but not limited to, the city's comprehensive development plan.
MnDOTprovided comments regarding anticipated changes to Highway 169, but did not state
the proposal would conflict with future plans. Access to the west, MnDOT right-of-way, is
restricted via the plat. The subdivision is consistent with all applicable plans.
3.The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils, vegetation, susceptibility to
erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and drainage are suitable for the type and density of development
and uses contemplated.
Future development of the parcel will be limited by the presence of overhead power line
easements, which are shown on the plat and sketch plans. However, the applicant included
sketch plans showing how the site can be configured for future development. Drainage and
grading plans will be reviewed when a development application is submitted for the parcels in
the future. The physical characteristics of the site support future commercial development.
4.The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage, sewage transportation,
erosion control and all other services, facilities and improvements otherwise required in this article.
The subdivision includesadequate provisions for future connections to city utilities, and the
developable parcel can accommodate stormwater and access/circulation requirements based
on the submitted sketch plans. Future development applications will need to show
compliance with city requirements at the time of approval.
5.The proposed subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage.
The subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage.
6.The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record or with easements established by judgment of
a court.
The subdivision includes a significant number of utility easements for overhead power lines.
These easements limit the development potential of the site and will need to be accounted for
with any future project.

neighboring land.
