PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT VARIANCE: STREET FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS P.I.N. 10-32-25-44-0021 JULY 20, 1990 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) That Mr. Daryl Peterson, hereinafter referred to as "Applicant", has properly applied for a variance from the street frontage requirements of Section 170.016A of the Ramsey City Code. That the Applicant appeared before the Board of Adjustment on July 26, 1990 for a public hearing pursuant to Section 170.013G of the Ramsey City Code and that said public hearing was properly advertised and that the minutes of said public hearing are hereby incorporated by reference. That the Applicant is requesting a variance to the 200 foot street frontage requirement for a landlocked ten acre parcel located West of Zirconium Street N.W. between 166th Lane N.W. and 164th Lane N.W. The subject property is described as follows: That part of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 10, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota described as follows: Commencing at the Southwest comer of said Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 10, thence North on the West line thereof to the Northwest comer thereof; thence East on the North line thereof a distance of 710.70 feet; thence South and parallel with the West line of said Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 10 a distance of 420 feet; thence West parallel with the North line thereof a distance of 217.94 feet; thence South parallel with the said West line to the South line of the said Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 10; thence West along the said South line to the Southwest corner thereof and back to the point of beginning, except the North 420 feet thereof. That the only access to a public street from the subject parcel would be across P.I.N. 10-32- 25-44-0009, which parcel is owned by the City of Ramsey and would provide access to 166th Lane N.W. On December 21, 1989, the City of Ramsey received a letter from Daryl Peterson dated December 18, 1989 requesting the City of Ramsey to sell P.I.N. 10-32-25-44-0009 to him for consolidation with P.I.N. 10-32-25-44-0021. Staff investigation revealed that the City obtained P.I.N. 10-32-25-44-0009 through tax forfeiture to insure future access to P.I.N.'s 10-32-25-44-0021, 0022 and 0018. On June 26, 1990, upon City Staff recommendation, the City Council determined that in the interest of maintaining an easement for future public road access to the subject area, it would be appropriate for the City to retain ownership of P.I.N. 10-32-25-44-0009 and grant Mr. Daryl Peterson an easement across that parcel to access 10-32-25-44-0021 until such time as 10-32-25-44-0021 is subdivided and developed with public streets in accordance with City Code. Ramsey City Ordinance #89-33 implements 4 in 40 density zoning and restricts the subject property to one buildable unit. That City Code requires that street frontages in the rural area shall not be less than 200 feet.
