• 4. That Section 9.20.11 of the City Code establishes a 10 -acre minimum lot size and four (4) units in 40 acres density restriction in the Rural Service Area. 5. That Section 9.11.01 of the Ramsey City Code states that no lot shall contain any building used as a dwelling unless it has the minimum lot width; Section 9.02 states that the lot width is measured at the building setback line on cul -de -sacs; Section 9.20.11 states that the minimum lot width in the Rural Residential District is 200 feet and is measured at the building setback line. 6. That the Applicants are proposing to plat the Subject Property into four (4) single - family residential lots. 7. That the proposed plat complies with the 4 units in 40 -acre density restriction. 8. That Lots 1, 2 and 3 of the proposed plat are deficient of the lot size requirement by .11 acres, .4 acres, and .21 acres, respectively. Lot 4, the remnant parcel is acceptable at 9.1 acres because the minimum lot size for remnants is 7.5 acres. 9. That Lots 1 and 2 are deficient of the 200 foot lot width requirement at the 40 foot building setback line by 81.75 feet and 150 feet, respectively. 10. That there are unique circumstances applying to the Subject Property that do not generally apply to other properties in the District; namely the long, narrow configuration of the Subject Property and the existence of a County ditch. 11. That the unique circumstances do not result from the actions of the Applicant. 12. That the variance requested is the minimum which would alleviate the hardship. 13. That if granted, the variance will not unreasonably diminish established property values within the neighborhood. 14. That if granted, the variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property. 15. That if granted, the variance will not violate the intent and purposes of the Comprehensive Plan. 16. That if granted, the variance will not give the Applicant any special privilege that is denied to other lands in the same district. 17. That such variance is necessary for the preservation of a substantial property right similar to that possessed by other properties in the R -1 Rural Residential District, namely the ability to plat property according to the 4 in 40 density restrictions. 18. That if granted, the variance will not grant the Applicant any special privilege that is denied to other owners of lands, structures or buildings in the same district.
