She stated that this would offer a preschool and elementary school in the same facility as the church. She stated that the school would be moving from its current location in New Brighton, noting that there have not been any issues reported in New Brighton. She reviewed the hours of operation, current enrollment and capacity for students, and explained that this use would not conflict with the church because of the opposite peak days and hours for each use. She reviewed the history of the site, overview of the site, parking and signage, and details of the requested Special Use Permit and stipulations of approval. She also recommended revocation of a previously-authorized adult daycare special use permit, as that is no longer occurring on the site. Commissioner Nealy asked if the adult daycare never came to fruition or if it was active for a period of time. Ms. Abts replied that it was a use for a period of time but before she became a staff member of Fridley. Hal Erks, applicant, provided information about the Harbon Montessori School. He stated that they are excited to operate in the new location and space. Commissioner Borman asked if the classrooms would be adequate or whether any modifications would be needed. Mr. Erks replied that the location is adequate, and they would not be making modifications to the space. Commissioner Nealy asked the reason the school is relocating from its current facility. Mr. Erks replied that the church in which they are currently located is going to do something else with the space. He also provided details on the enrollment capacity for students, noting that they could have up to 79 students. Commissioner Meisner asked if students are picked up and dropped off as there is no transportation plan. Mr. Erks confirmed that parents drop off and pick up students. Commissioner Meisner asked if there is a partnership with other local schools to offer sports or extracurricular programs. Mr. Erks replied that they do not currently do that. 4 Jufn!2/ Planning Commission 7/17/2024 Minutes Page 3 Motion by Commissioner Brom to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Meisner.

Commissioner Borman commented that the facility is up to date and adequate, noting that the Lions have used the space for things in the past. Commissioner Nealy commented that this is a busy area and therefore did not anticipate that this use would cause a noticeable increase to traffic.

The subject property is zoned R-1, Single Family, as are all surrounding properties. The original home shows that an addition was constructed to the home in 1959. The property remained under one ownership until 2023 when itwas purchased by the current property owner.The property is located within the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA); however, subdivisions of three or fewer lots are exempt from the subdivision standards of the MRCCA ordinance. There are no Primary Conservation Areas on the property. Fridley City code requires that single family lots in the R-1, Single Family zoning district have a minimum of 25 ft. along a right-of-way, be a minimum of 75 ft. in width at the front yard setback line, and have minimum lot area of 9,000 sq. ft. The subject property is a large single-family lot at 51,007 sq. ft. The petitioner is requesting to split the lot to create two single-family lots. Parcel A (yellow) will be 31,830 sq. ft. in size, will have 41 ft. of frontage on Pearson Way, and 75 ft. of width at the front yard setback. The existing home is onParcel A and will continue to comply with setback and lot coverage requirements. Parcel B (green) will be 19,177 sq. ft. in size and 75 ft. wide at the street and front yard setback. Both lots proposed meet or exceed the minimum requirements for lot width along the right-of-way and front yard setback line and lot size. 7 Jufn!3/ To date, staff have heard from one neighboring property owner who wanted to know if a duplex could be built on the new lot. Staff confirmed that the property is zoned R-1, Single Family, so only a single- family house can be built. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the Planning Commission hold a public hearing for LS #24-01. Staff further recommends approval of LS #24-01, with stipulations as the proposed lots meet the minimum code requirements and provide an additional home ownership opportunity in the City. Stipulations Staff recommends that if the lot split is granted, the following stipulations be attached: 1. All necessary permits shall be obtained prior to construction of the new home. 2. A grading and drainage plan shall be submitted and prior to issuance of any building permits, to minimize impacts to the surrounding properties. 3. The property owner at time of building permit application shall provide proof that any existing wells or individual sewage treatment systems located on the site are properly capped or removed. 4. The property owner at time of building permit application for the construction of the single- family home shall pay the $1,500 required park dedication fee. 5. The property owner at time of building permit application for the construction of the single- family home shall pay all water and sewer connection fees for the new single-family home. 6. The existing driveway and shed on Parcel B shall be removed within 60 days of approval of the lot split application by the City Council. 7.
