Councilmember Cook introduced the following resolution and moved for its adoption: RESOLUTION #04-07-185 A RESOLUTION ADOPTING ROWE'S REQUEST FOR MORATORIUM FINDINGS OF FACT #0685 AND GRANTING JOHN AN EXCEPTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT WHEREAS, the City received a request from John Rowe for an exception to the development moratorium established by Ordinance #04-21; and WHEREAS, the special circumstance is the existence of two entities (greenhouse and homestead) located on the same parcel and strict application of the moratorium ordinance would prohibit the two entities from being owned independent of each other; and WHEREAS, the ability to sell personal property is a substantial property right that would be obstructed with the strict application of the moratorium ordinance; and WHEREAS, the granting of the exception will not be detrimental to the public welfare or other property in the area because the subdivision will not facilitate any new development; the newly created lot will be occupied by an existing home; and WHEREAS, the exception will be harmonious with the objectives of the City's existing Comprehensive Plan as the subdivision will meet the requirements of the Rural Developing District; and it will not adversely affect the planning process because no new development will occur; and WHEREAS, the exception will be harmonious with the objectives of the moratorium ordinance to curtail development because the subdivision will not create any new buildable lots; it will simply create new boundaries around two existing uses. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THIS CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RAMSEY, ANOKA COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA as follows: An exception to the development moratorium established by Ordinance #04-21 to John Rowe on the following legally described property; The Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 3, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota
