THE <br />PLATTING REQUIREMENTS IN CITY CODE TO APPROVE A METES AND <br />BOUNDS SUBDIVISION AND DECLARING TERMS OF SAME. <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the City of Ramsey (the \'Permittee"), has properly applied for a variance to <br />platting requirements established in Section 9.50 (Subdivision) of the Ramsey City Code to <br />facilitate a metes and bounds subdivision for right-of-way acquisition for the extension of <br />Quicksilver Street NW to the City of Ramsey (the "City") in association with the access to <br />Elmcrest Park and the proposed Water Tower #3 site. <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Board of Appeals met on January 13,2009, conducted a public hearing <br />and adopted findings of fact relating to the request for a variance from platting requirements to <br />facilitate a metes and bounds subdivision. <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE <br />CITY OF RAMSEY, ANOKA COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA, as follows <br /> <br />1. That the requirements of City Code Section 9.50.07 (Subdivision) are a practical <br />difficulty in that the future subdivision plans of the adjacent parcels are unknown at this <br />time and a metes and bounds subdivision will facilitate the conveyance of the Quicksilver <br />Street right-of~way to the City, but will not create any new buildable lots. <br /> <br />2. That based on Findings of Fact # _, a variance to the platting requirements (the <br />"Variance") in City Code Section 9.50.07 (Subdivision), is hereby granted to the <br />Permittee for the parcels shown in the exhibits on Exhibit A, all prepared by Bolton and <br />Menk, dated December 12,2008. <br /> <br />3. That the City hereby approves the metes and bounds subdivision as shown on Exhibit A, <br />contingent on compliance with the conditions contained in this Variance. <br /> <br />4. That the two (2) newly created parcels will not be considered buildable lots until such <br />time that municipal sewer and water is available to them, and said lots are properly <br />platted according to the City's urban residential zoning City code requirements. A <br />declaration of restrictive covenants to this effect shall be recorded against each parcel in <br />the office of the Anoka County Recorder/Registrar of Titles. <br /> <br />5. The Variance granted herein shall automatically become null and void if the metes and <br />bounds subdivision is not initiated within twelve (12) months of the date hereof, unless <br />an extension is granted at the written request of the Permittee; . <br /> <br />-9- <br />
