CASE #3 <br /> <br /> REQ~ FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW OF <br /> GOP~ON'S GARD~S 2ND ADDITION; <br /> CASE OF MR. HARI.EY A. GORDON <br />By: Mark S. Banwart, Community Development Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On April 11, 1989, the City of Ramsey received application for Gordon's Gardens <br />2nd Addition. The proposed subdivision consists of one block containing four lots. <br />This subdivision is .being considered as a minor subdivision. The total area is <br />26.24 acres, the existing land use is rural residential / agricultural use. The <br />future land use is anticipated to remain the same. The proposed subdivision is a <br />resubdivision of Lot 2, Block 1, Gordon's Gardens Addition. For your information, <br />the following items are enclosed: <br /> <br />B. <br />C. <br />D. <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Proposed subdivision (June 28, 1989) <br />City Engineer's review (April 27, 1989) <br />Letter to Kenneth R. and M.R. Lewandowski (June 16, 1989) <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />At the May 2, 1989 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Mr. Harley <br />Gordon stated that in his discussions with Anoka County Department of <br />Transportation they indicated that the upgrading of an existing access from <br />County Road #22 for the proposed Lots I and 2 was acceptable. However, they had <br />reservations about allowing an additional driveway access from County Road #22 <br />to Lot 3. Rather, Anoka County would prefer the extension of 180th Avenue <br />Northwest to gain access to Lot 4, Block 1. Anoka County has also stated that if <br />access cannot be obtained from 180th Avenue Northwest to Lot 4, Block 1, they <br />would consider an additional driveway access from County Road #22. <br /> <br />On May 2, 1989, the Ramsey Planning and Zoning Commission requested the City <br />Attorney to determine the feasibility and cost responsibility of condemnation to <br />extend 180th Avenue Northwest and then to obtain City Council direction on same. <br />The City Attorney advises that emminent domain is most likely acceptable and the <br />public purpose requirements can be met by showing the necessity of the road in <br />allowing for the best and highest use of the land. Furthermore, the City <br />Attorney's opinion is the costs incurred for the emminent domain procedure <br />should be borne by the benefitting developer. According to Mr. Harley Gordon, the <br />asking price for the segment of land needed to extend 180th Avenue Northwest <br />was stated to be six thousand dollars ($6,000.00). The cost of emminent domain <br />could likely approach that amount. However, the negotiated purchase of the <br />needed land considering vacation of a portion of the existing cul-de-sac could be <br />substantially less. <br /> <br />On May 11, 1989, the Ramsey Park and Recreation Commission recommended the <br />acceptance of cash to satisfy the park dedication since no parks or trails are <br /> <br />/0 <br /> <br /> <br />
