Scott Carlson, property owner, is requesting the review of a preliminary and final plat of Carlson Addition. The property is located at 1010 Pfau Street. The subject property is described as the Southerly 125 feet of the following described tracts of land: The N 1/2 of Lot 9 Marsh & Brother's Addition to Mankato; Also the North 5 acres of the West 10 acres of the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter Section 8, Township 108, Range 26, except 1/2 acre taken therefrom for a street.

A single-family dwelling and detached structures are located on the site. An application was submitted for a building permit to add square footage (construction of garage). During review of the requested building permit, city staff identified that the property is unplatted and, therefore, is required to be subdivided per Mankato City Code Sec 10.06 sub 4 in conjunction with the building permit to add square footage of building on the property. 

The proposed Carlson Addition plat depicts the combination of two existing parcels, thereby creating a one lot, one block subdivision. Lot 1, Block 1 dimensions are 125' x 363'. The proposed Lot 1 encompasses 45,344 square feet (1.04 acres). The proposed plat includes the standard utility easements. 

The subject property is zoned R-1 One-Family Zoning District. The proposed subdivision conforms to the standards of the R-1 District in terms of lot size and width.  

A payment-in-lieu of parkland dedication in the amount of $1,560 will be required prior to affixing signatures to the final plat.
