CASE REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE FROM STREET FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS; CASE OF DARYL PETERSON By: Acting Community Development Director Sylvia Frolik Background: On December 21, 1989, the City of Ramsey received a letter from Daryl Peterson requesting that the City of Ramsey sell a parcel identified as P.I.N. 10-32-25-44-0009 for him to consolidate with parcel 10-32-25-44-0021. Staff investigation of parcel 10-32-25-44-0009 indicates that apparently the City obtained this land parcel through tax forfeiture to insure possible access to P.I.N. 10-32- 25-44-0021. On June 26, 1990, City Staff informed City Council that under the current density ordinance, only one residential unit would be permitted on parcel 10-32-25-44-0021. However, in the event the density zoning is amended in the future, the City should retain ownership of 10-32-25-44-0009 to provide road right-of-way for the possible resubdivision of 10-32-25-44-0021. In the discussion that followed, it was determined that an appropriate course of action would be for the City to grant Mr. Daryl Peterson an easement across 10-32-25-44-0009 to allow for access to 10-32-25-44- 0021 from a public street. That easement would be in effect until the property is resubdivided and platted in accordance with the City Code. In addition, the agreement for the easement would be contingent upon Mr. Daryl Peterson making payment to the City of Ramsey in the amount of Four Hundred Dollars ($400.00) for City expenses incurred in researching the possible sale of 10~32-25- 44-0009. At that meeting, Mr. Peterson was also informed that whether the City sold 10-32~25-44- 0009 for consolidation with 10-32-25-44-0021 or whether the City grants an easement across 10- 32-25-44-0009 to access 10-32-25-44-0021, a variance would be required from street frontage requirements to market and develop the property as a buildable lot.
