City of Ramsey <br /> <br />15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 <br /> <br />· (612) 427-1410 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />REGARDING: <br /> <br />Sylvia Frolik, Zoning Administrator~/~ <br /> <br />James Gromberg, Project Manage~C? <br /> <br />May 23, 1991 <br /> <br />Variance for Tim & Brenda Smith <br /> <br />Tim and Brenda Smith have applied for a variance to the street frontage requirements for a lot they <br />are purchasing in Section 10, Township 32, Range 25 in the City of Ramsey. The street frontage <br />of the lot is currently 66 feet, which is less than the required frontage in R-iR areas. After doing <br />limited research of this parcel, the following information was found: <br /> <br />The lot existed before April, 1979, as shown on the attached copy of the sketch plan for Trott <br />Brook Estates. <br /> <br />The City's requirement for street frontage was not passed until October, 1979, with the passage of <br />Ordinance #79-15. This ordinance required street frontage to be the same as the minimum lot <br />width. Also attached is a copy of the above mentioned ordinance. <br /> <br />In light of this information, the City created the non-conforming lot when it approved the plat of <br />Trott Brook Estates. The proposed findings of facts are correct in that the hardship was not created <br />by the owner. The proposed variance should be granted to help bring the City into conformance <br />with the ordinance. The City should encourage Tim and Brenda Smith to set the proposed house <br />far enough back to allow the possible future extension of 171st Lane N.W. to Nowthen Boulevard <br />N.W. <br /> <br />JG <br /> <br /> <br />
