REQUEST FOR MINOR SUBDIVISION; CASE OF HR. JOHN GOBERNATZ By: City Engineer Peter Raatlkka CASE Background: On July 13, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered Mr. John Gobernatz' request for a metes and bounds subdivision to split off a 1 acre parcel from a 40 acre parcel located east of St. Francis Boulevard, northeast of County Road No. 63. Access to the new lot would be from 177th Avenue N.W. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the metes and bounds subdivision provided it can be accomplished within City ordinances and that the new lot be increased in size to 2.5 acres. The Commission also requested that the legallity of 177th Avenue as a public road be researched. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Proposed subdivision c) Proposed resolution Observations: As a metes and bounds subdivision cannot be accomplished within City Ordinances, the City Staff recommended that Mr. Gobernatz proceed with a minor subdivision to split off a 2.5 acre parcel. City Engineer Raatikka has researched 177th Avenue N.W. and found that parcel 2100 (PIN 902-32-25-42-0001) is owned by the City of Ramsey and the south 66 feet of parcel 2170 (PIN #02-32-25-13-0004) is a road easement. The City of Ramsey has also maintained the street for over 16 years. Therefore, 177th Avenue is a public road. It should be noted that the road does not meet current City standards. Since the proposed Gobernatz plat does not include any portion :of the 177th Avenue right-of-way, the upgrading of the street should be accomplished under State Statute Chapter 429. Recommendation: City Staff recommends approval of the request for a minor subdivision. Council Action: Motion to: Adopt Resolution f-'88-~ approving/denying Mr. John Gobernatz' request for a minor subdivision. Review Checklist: Administrat or At torn ey ~(.
