" -4- August 2, 1983 <br /> <br />Ramsey City Planning Board <br /> <br /> 4. Section 170. 013D (5) <br /> <br /> States that in the Residential District on unsewered <br /> . <br /> lots that the rtver setback shall be: <br /> <br /> "35 feet from the bluff line or 200 feet from the <br /> n~ichever is greater" <br /> <br /> Minimum sized lot will be 2.5 acres, and <br /> ~~ shal1 he--to <br /> <br /> These lot provisions are of real concern to us, be- <br /> cause of the acreage lying to the east (right) of Tract <br /> R.L.S. #53 (along the river) and south of 139th Lane. <br /> Tract ~'B~' was sold in the early 1960's with its legal <br /> ~ access over the roadway identified as 139th Lane. <br /> This acreage (south of 139th) is aroUnd 3.5 acres with <br /> frontage of approximately 575.0 feet. According to the <br /> proposed regulations, this acreage could be developed <br /> to no more than one lot. Also because of its shallow <br /> shape, the 200.0 foot required setback would make . <br /> house placement on this site very difficult. <br /> <br /> I have been assured in my previous meetings with this <br /> Board and the City Council' that a variance would be <br /> worked out for us for this tract, yet there' is no prOvi- <br /> sion for a variance for hardship in this ordinance. <br /> <br /> We believe that this tract whose boundaries were es.-, <br /> tablished prior to the Critical Rivers legislation;jbe/~ <br /> treated much as a dwelling already built too close to <br /> the river. We ask that be allowed <br /> we <br /> to <br /> develop <br /> two <br /> unsewered lots on this tract and be allowed to locate <br /> the houses closer than 200.0 feet to the river. <br /> <br /> Thank you for your pa%fence with our concerns.
