10. 11. 12. t3. t4. 15, 16. 17. 18. That the Subject Property consists of two parcels, Lot 33 Bowers Mississippi Acres and Lot 1 Block I Bowers Mississippi Acres 2"0 Addition. That Lot 33 Bowers Mississippi Acres was platted in 1948 and Lot 1 Block 1 Bowers Mississippi Acres 2nd Addition was platted in 1964; both have lot widths of 100 feet, are .95 and .97 acres in size respectfully, and are both owned by Donald and Molly Anderson (the Applicant is their son and is acting on their behalf). That according to Anoka County, Lot 33 Bowers Mississippi Acres and Lot 1 Block 1 Bowers Mississippi Acres 2~d Addition are under one Parcel Identification Number (PIN) for taxing purposes. In order for Lot 1 Block 1 Bowers Mississippi Acres 2nd Addition to be eligible for a building permit, the Applicant must request reassignment of two (2) Parcel Identification Numbers for the two lots. That there is an existing principal structure located on Lot 33 Bowers Mississippi Acres. That Lot 1 Block 1 Bowers Mississippi Acres 2"d Addition is a vacant parcel. That the Applicant must obtain a variance to the lot width and lot area requirements for Lot 1 Block 1 Bowers Mississippi Acres 2nd Addition to render it buildable. That City records indicate that there are currently five (5) cases of duo-ownership lots (riparian and non-riparian) along Bowers Drive that do not meet the area and width requirements of Section 9.21.07. That if granted, the variance will not allow any use which is neither a permitted nor a conditional use in the land use district in which the Subject Property is located. That similar variances have been granted in the Critical River Overlay District. That there are exceptional circumstances unique to the Subject Property which were not created by the Applicant: a) Lot 1 Block 1 Bowers Mississippi Acres 2"d Addition was a saleable, buildable lot when the lot was created in 1964; and b) the amendmem to the critical river rules in 1985 regarding duo-ownership rendered Lot 1 Block 1 Bowers Mississippi Acres 2"d Addition non-buildable; while four (4) other similarly sized lots not in duo-ownership have been developed since that time; That the strict enforcement of Section 9.21.07 of the Ramsey City Code will result in unnecessmy hardship to the Applicant. That if granted, the variance is/is not contrary to the purpose and intent of Section 9.21.07 of the Ramsey City Code. 19. That if granted, the variance wilt/will not alter the essential character of the area. l0 Resolution #05-02- Page 2 of 3
