18. That the Applicant is in the process of altering the configuration of two existing parcels via the minor subdivision process. That Lot 1 under the proposed subdivision contains an existing residence and is proposed to be 2.5 acres. That Lot 2 under the proposed subdivision is proposed to be 11.67 acres in size. That Section 9.11.01 of the Ramsey City Code states that no lot shall contain any building used as a dwelling unless it has the minimum lot width; Section 9.20.11 states that the minimum lot width in the R-1 Rural Developing District is 200 feet; Section 9.02 defines lot width as the width measured at the property line abutting the street and in no case shall street frontages in the R-1 Rural Developing District be less than 200 feet. That the Applicants are proposing that a single family dwelling will eventually be constructed on the proposed Lot 2. That the proposed Lot 1 has 200 feet of public road frontage on 160th Lane N.W. That the proposed Lot 2 has fragmented public street frontage with 105 feet of public street frontage along 161st Lane NW and 66 feet of public road frontage on 160th Lane N.W. That the primary access for the proposed Lot 2 will be from the 160th Lane N.W. That the existing right-of-way of 160th Lane N.W. dead-ends to the proposed Lot 2. That the road surface for 160th Lane N.W. ends 360 feet from the eastern lot line of proposed Lot 2. That a portion of the proposed Lot 2 is an existing lok of record that does not have access or frontage on an improved public road. That the Applicant is requesting a variance of 134 feet from the required 10t width to allow for the 66 feet of frontage along 160th Lane N.W. to serve as the primary access to the proposed Lot 2. That the City has previously granted variances for lesser lot widths and frontages at the public street. That the variance reqUested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. That if granted, the variance will not permit a use that is prohibited in the R-1 Rural Developing District. 40 RESOLUTION #03-10-270 Page 2 of 4
