I I I I I I I I I I I Motion by Commissioner Schneider to approve the findings of fact with the addition of the following: 7) Proposed easement to property does traverse the floodway of Trott Brook. 8) City records do not indicate that Parcel #6000 and #5400 are in separate ownership, therefore the need for a variance has not been established. 9) That the applicant would be utilizing a 1326 foot easement to obtain access to his property and this could hinder fire and police protection to that property. Commissioner Deemer seconds the motion for further discussion. Further Discussion: None. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Peterson,' Commissioners Dunn, Zimmerman, Deemer, LaDue, Isakson and Schneider. Voting No: None. Motion by Commissioner Schneider and seconded by Commissioner Zimmerman to deny Mr. Harold Phelps' request for variance from the Subdivision Ordinance, Section 170.0314B, based on the findings of fact. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Peterson, Commissioners Dunn, Zimmerman, Deemer, LaDue and Schneider. Voting No: Commissioner Isakson. Chairman Peterson informed Mr. Phelps that the motion to deny is not final, that it is a reco~mmendation to City Council. Commissioner Deemer stated that Mr. Phelps should be provided with a copy of the findings of fact. Mr. Phelps inquired if a condition of the variance approval couldn't be the stipulation that the subject 30 acres will not be further developed. Commissioner Deemer stated that if Mr. Phelps gained control of the easement and the City were guaranteed that it would be a private driveway or if access could be gained from some other public street, he might reconsider approving Mr. Phelps' request. Commissioner Schneider commented that Mr. Phelps could research the possiblity of ob~_~in access to his property through. Lot 8 of ~the cul-de-sac adjacent to his property, and that Mr. Phelps should have all property owners concerned at the Council meeting and perhaps the request would be approved and he would not have to come back to P & Z. Commissioner Zimmerman stated that the owner of the 40 acres to the north of the subject 30 acres should come into the City with a plan for development and then a road could be provided for. This property owner is selling land and investing nothing and normally, this is not the way subdivision of land operates. Case #2: Thurston Avenue Mr. Peter Raatikka stated that he has met with Bob Johnson of the City of Anoka regarding extending Thurston Avenue to the Ramsey corporate limits and beyond.
