BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT <br /> PUBLIC HEARING <br /> CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey Board of Adjustment conducted a public hearing on Thursday, <br />August 27, 1987 at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW, <br />Ramsey, Minnesota regarding A. J. Parent Company's request for a variance <br />from Section 170.076.24 of the City Code regarding setback from the Rum <br />River. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Mr. Gerald Zimmerman, Chairman <br />Mr. Roy Shumway <br />Mr. Jim Howell <br />Mr. Terry Hendriksen <br />Mr. Chuck LaDue <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />Anne Norris, Community Development Director <br /> <br />Members Absent: Mr. Jim Holm <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman called the public hearing to order at 7:41 p.m. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Mr. A1 Parent representing A. J. Parent Company was present. <br /> <br />Ms. Norris noted that she had received a letter from Mr. John Stine of the <br />DNR containing comments regarding A. J. Parent Company's request for a <br />variance. The Board of Adjustment received the following comments from the <br />DNR: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />The proposed location of the structure could be adjusted toward <br />the road to minimize the amount of variance required to the <br />setback and ordinary high water level of the Rum River. <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />3) <br /> <br />The house is designed to be a rear walk-out requiring grading and <br />excavating. This excavation may require large areas of trees to <br />be removed and/or significant land alterations to construct the <br />walk-out. The DNR suggests that perhaps a different house and <br />garage design would be more suitable to the topography of the lot. <br /> <br />The property is very steep along the river bank and the property <br />owners should be made aware of permitting requirements for <br />construction of stairways and landings to obtain access to the Rum <br />River. <br /> <br />4) That if the variance is granted to the A.J. Parent Company, the <br /> DNR requires documentation to certify the variance. <br /> <br />Board of Adjustment Public Hearing/August 27, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
