C~se ~2: Requ_est For Metes And Bounds Subdivision Of Lot 4. Block 1, Voltin's Oak Hill Estates: Case Of Mr. David Schulte: Ms. Norris noted that Mr. Schulte is present requesting a metes and bounds subdivision of Lot 4, Block 1, Voltin's Oak Hill Estates in order to split that part of the lot north of the drainage ditch from that property south of the ditch. Ms. Norris stated that staff is recommending denial because the request would create a landlocked parcel and contradicts one of the terms of the development agreement for Voltin's Oak Hill Estates. Mr. Schulte stated he is in the process of purchasing property from Bill Weiss and Arland Voltin that will provide the access needed. Bill Weiss - 16053 Nowthen Blvd. - Expressed concern with the extent and ownership of the easement proposed to be purchased. Mr. Hartley advised going through the platting process to solve some serious easement and access concerns. Motion by ~yor R~imann and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg to deny Mr. Schulte's request for a metes and bounds subdivision of Lot 4, Block 1, Voltin's Oak Hill Estates because it would contradict one of the terms of the development agreement for Voltin's Oak Hill Estates and there are access concerns that could be addressed if the platting process were used.

Mr. Dreher stated that the following issues may be reason for the city to change from it's current policy of one off-sale liquor store per 5,000 population: 1) a liquor store in River's Bend Plaza would offer a full range of merchandise at that center and strengthens it's ability to draw in customers from northern Anoka; 2) the Rum River Bridge Crossing; 3) completion of the Thurston Avenue overpass. CDuncilmember Cox was in favor of reviewing the current policy as the Rum River Bridge will result in another major traffic corridor and there is City Council/February 9, 1988 Page 7 of 14
