Zoning Map Amendment Rezoning Property From R1-R Rural ~esidential To R1-U Urban Residential: Ms. Norris stated that during recodifying and amending the zoning ordinance, zoning districts were also redesignated. In that process, 13 acres owned by Mr. Schaumburg was redesignated from Urban Residential to Rural Residential increasing minimum lot size from 1 acre to 2.5 acres. Mr. Schaumburg's adjacent 80 acre parcel remains at 1 acre minimum lot sizes; the 13 acres was originally intended to correspond with the 80 acres and Mr. Schaumburg is requesting rezoning accordingly. Ms. Norris noted that the long, narro~ configuration of the 13 acres is a result of previous planning efforts to provide access to the 80 acre parcel from Sunfish Lake Drive that would contain enough area to also develop lots along the access. councilmember Cox noted that even with the rezoning, the property would still be landlocked because it would access onto a private street (Sunfish Lake Drive) and not a public street. Mr. Schaumburg stated that he will not be developing the land and he is sure that whoever does will construct a public road for access. Mr. Schaumburg noted that at the time, it was the City's suggestion that he purchase a330' wide strip rather than a 100' wide strip for access to the 80 acre parcel so that lots could also be developed along the access. Motion by Councilmember Pearson and seconded by Councilmember Cox to introduce Ordinance #87-X rezoning the 13 acre parcel from the existing R- 1R Rural Residential District to the R-1U Urban Residential District. Further Discussion: Councilmember COx stated rezoning will only change the minimum lot size; the property will still be landlocked until the residents on Sunfish Lake Drive request and agree to pay for upgrading up to City standards. Mr. Clayton Berg, previous Building Official for Ramsey, was present and stated that he is sure that past minutes will confirm that Mr. Schaumburg was advised to acquire a 330', rather than a 100', wide strip of property that would accommodate not only a roadway but also lots once sewer and water became available. Ms. Norris stated that Mr. $chaumburg wants the property rezoned to eliminate any question as to whether or not the 13 acre strip can be developed with urban size lots once utilities are available. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Sorteberg, COx, DeLuca and Pearson. Voting No: None.
