REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT APPRO AL O ARMSTR NG ADDITION, CASE OF LEE HANSON By: Merland Otto Background: The proposed minor subdivision consists of two lots and one outlot on approximately 49.5 acres, more o~ less. .The existing and proposed zoning is R-iR Rural Residential Distr~ct. The property is generally located in the West Half of the East Half of the Southeast Quarter of Section 8, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota and that part of the Northeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of 17, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka Section County, Minnesota lying northeasterly of Anoka County Highway right-of-way Plat 033 (County Road 83). The P.I.N.'s are 08-32- 25-41-~002 and 17-32-25-11-0001. For your information, the following items are enclosed. A) Site location map B) Proposed subdivision (Revised and dated June 26, 1990) C) City Engineer's Review (May 29, 1990) D) city Landscape Architect's Review (May 29, 1990) E) City Engineer's (June 26, 1990) Review F) Letter from Owner's attorney, Mr. R. Ylitalo (Aug. 7, 1990) G) P~oposed Development A~reemen~ Mr. Ray Wo~cik, owner of the parcel, and I attempted to stake a trail alignment in June. Due to heavy brush, the attempt was unsuccessful and the owner stated that he would be willing to grant an easement over the north portion of the property (outlot). In late fall a trail alignment would be determined, then dedicated with the remainder of the easement being vacated. This was reviewed with the City Attorney and determined to be an acceptable arrangement. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the plat on being made gross contingent park dedication based on the area being subdivided. This is not in accordance with the park dedication ordinance since the ordinance requires park dedication only on the new lots being created for minor subdivision. Staff recommendation thus varies from P and Z's recommendation. i I In a letter from the Owner's attorney dated August 7, 1990, the owner states his position opposing P & Z's recommendation of basing park dedication on the entire parcel. In addition, he is opposed to providing the 66' easement to the north portion of the property (outlot). I I Observations: On May 10, !990, the City of Ramsey received an application and sketch plan from Lee Hanson for Armstrong Addition.
