CITY OF RAMSEY CITY' COUNCIL FINDINGS OF FACT re David Mickelson 1) Assessment records indicate ~. Mickelson has owned the property located at 16121 Ramsey Blvd. since 2966. His initial residence was located at 26121 Ramsey Blvd. on 5.37+ acres of land in two separate parcels, 2) On October 27, 1975, Mr. Mickelson applied for and received a building permit to construct a 1,176 square foot accessory building. A sketch of the structure included with the application shows the intended building use as a work area. 3) On August 23, 1976, Mr. Mickelson applied for and receive~a building per-. mit to construct a new residence located at 16101 Ramsey Blvd, N~W, whi'ch is located on the 3.00 acre parcel of land created by property line relocations as described in item number four below, 4) On November 8, 1976, the City Council granted Mr, Mickelson a variauce which relocated an existing subdivision property line~ The resulting parcels are 2.37 acres and 3.00 acres, 5) In the summer of 1977 (.date unknown) Mr. Mickelson purchased for his daughter, a horse. City ordinance requires that horses shall be provided adequate shelter and kept on no less than 2.5 acres, .6) In the fall of 1977 (date unknown) Mr. Mickelson commenced construction of the lower portion of a new accessory building as a shelter for his horse~ The Building Official at that time determined that the' shelter'did not exceed $500 in valuation and, therefore, no permit was required. Council policy had established that permits were not required for construction where the valuation did not exceed $500, 7) Ramsey's ordinances, at that time, did not regulate the permitted .square footage of accessory buildings. This was controlled by the State Building Code by structure classification. 8) On November 13, 1978, the City of Ramsey amended its ordinance to regu~ late the permitted area of all accessory buildings that was published as Ordinance No. 7944. The permitted areas "square footage'~ is determined by the acreage of the property upon which the accessory building is to be located. On August 28, 1978, the Council passed a 60 day moratorium on the issuance of accessory building perits. After that date, until adoption of the Ordinance on November 13, ~978, the Council acted on each accessory use permit. It therefore, appears there were no formal regulations affecting accessory use buildings except building permit requirements~ in effect in the fall of 1977.
