WHEREAS, on October 21, 2013, Lisa and Chad Hasbrook, hereafter referred to as "Property Owner", submitted a Building Permit application to the City of Ramsey (the "City") for a parcel with a Property Identification Number of 08-32-25-21-0003 and legally described as: That part of the south 560 feet of the Northeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 8, Township 32, Range 25, lying west of the East 542 feet thereof; as measured along north line of said Quarter, Quarter, except road subject to easement of record (the SubjectProperty' ); NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RAMSEY, ANOKA COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA, as follows: 1. That the Subject Property is zoned R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) and is approximately 9.96 acres in size. 2. That the Subject Property is surrounded by parcels also zoned R-1 Residential (Rural Developing). 3. That the Subject Property is located on 171 st Ave NW, east of Rabbit St. 4. That when the Alicia Addition, which is directly west of the Subject Property, was approved, the developer was required to construct 171 st Ave to the eastern limits of that Plat to facilitate the future development of the Subject Property, but was not required to construct a full cul- de-sac. 5. That 171st Ave NW terminates in a hammerhead rather than a cul-de-sac at the western boundary of the Subject Property. 6. That the Subject Property now does not have the minimum road frontage required to construct a single family residence. 7. That the City has identified multiple public safety concerns based on the existing hammerhead configuration including insufficient turn -around space for snow plows and insufficient maneuvering space for fire apparatuses which would result in slower fire response times. 8. That if a driveway were installed directly off the hammerhead, there would be insufficient space for snow storage, mailbox placement and trash/recycling carts.
