10 Minutes CASE ~20: DISCUSS REQUIREMENT FOR CERTIFICATES OF LOT SURVEY By: Anne Norris, Community Development Director Background: As you may know, one of the City's requirements for building permit applications for new homes or commercial structures is the inclusion of a certificate of lot survey. In the past, this requirement has not been strictly enforced. However, because of some recent problems with the siting of accessory structures on properties, the Planning and Zoning Commission has suggested that this require- ment be more strictly enforced. I believe that the intent of this requirement is to obtain a site plan of the property showing all existing and proposed structures on that property. However, a certificate of lot survey may not show this information; it may only show where the corner stakes for a parcel are located. If the intent of this requirement is to provide information as to the location of structures on properties, the Council may wish to amend the City's require- ments to require information regarding structures, encroachments, setbacks, etc. on properties. In addition, the Council should determine whether this information should be required for all construction and building permits or whether the Building Official should be allowed to determine what information is needed for each building permit application. For your information, enclosed are the following items: a) Memo dated October 7, 1986 from Building Official Erickson regarding certificates of lot survey b) City of Maple Grove's requirements for certificates of lot survey c) City of Champlin's requirements for certificates of lot survey Recommendation: Council action will be based on your discussion.
