Anoka, Minnesota 55303 Re: Holker's Realty Metes & Bounds Subdivision Dear Council Members: As requested at your last council meetin§, we have reviewed the access problem in regard to the above referenced subdivision. In discussing the above matter with the developer's surveyor, we agreed that the bes't solution to the problem from a planning standpoint is to construct a street and subdivide the property as shown on the preliminary plat of High Point~ However, the developer feels it is more economical to proceed with the subdivision of the property into three large tracts with no street construction. If it is the opinion of the city attorney that this subdivision falls under the jurisdiction of the City's Subdivision Ordinance, t. he city may restrict access to the parcels under Article 170.038E of that ordinance. However, if the Minnesota State Statutes governing mates and bounds subdivision take precedence the city may not have the authority to restrict access totally. If the city is forced into accepting the metes and bounds subdivision, we would agree with the recommendation made by Paul Ruud concerning the accesses. However, we would recommend that the city require the developer deed access to the city along both C.S.A.H. No. 5 and Co. Rd. 57 with the exceptions of the north 30 feet on Parcel C, the south 30 feet on Parcel B and the existing access to Parcel A. We Would also recommend that the city require the developer to state on the deeds to each parcel that access to the parcels may be restricted to right turn ingress - Continued keith caswell jr. =i darrell schneider ,~ richard sha
