The subject property is located on the south side of County <br />Road #64 (181~t Street). The parcel is approximately 21.20 acres in size and is zoned R-IR Rural <br />Residential. The surrounding parcels are also zoned for single family rural residential dwellings. <br />Megan Roche owns Parcel A and B as shown on the Certificate of Survey. Parcel A has a 66' wide <br />strip of land that has frontage on County Road #64. Parcel B has no direct access to a public road. <br />Even though Parcel B is an existing lot, a home cannot be constructed on the property without a <br />variance. Ms. Hemp, who plans to purchase Parcel B, has applied for a variance fi.om the minimum <br />street frontage requirement and is proposing that Parcel B use parcel A's access. Parcel B currently <br />has an access easement across Parcel A to enter/exit on to County Road 64. The applicant shall <br />provide proof that the easement is recorded with Anoka County. City Staff recommends approval <br />of the variance from street frontage and lot width requirements contingent upon the applicant <br />entering into a variance agreement with the City. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />Dwight Anderson owns the property directly in front of the property in question. He questioned <br />what effect this would have on his property or his taxes. He added that fi.om the little information <br />he has received, he learned the road or driveway that is there now will be a city road and he asked <br />if that is correct. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon said this would not impact his proPerty and explained that the road <br />would serve as a driveway to both lots through Parcel A. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt also explained the proposal of sharing a driveway and noted this would not <br />impact Mr. Anderson's property. <br /> <br />Board of Adjustment/September 10, 2001 <br /> Page 2 of 8 <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
