Councilmember introduced the following resolution and moved for its adoption: RESOLUTION #21-018 RESOLUTION PROVIDING FEEDBACK ON PROPOSED SUBDIVISION ON BACON PROPERTY 1. Bill Boyum, hereafter referred to as "Applicant", requested feedback from the Planning Commission and City Council on a proposed subdivision for the property generally known as 7363 175th Ave NW and legally known as: The Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 4, Township 32, Range 25; and The Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 4, Township 32, Range 25; and The western 330 feet of the Southeastern Quarter of the Northeastern Quarter; of Section 4, Township 32, Range 25, Subject to Easement of Record, Anoka County, Minnesota. (the `Subject Property'); 2. The Planning Commission reviewed the request on December 3, 2020. 3. The Development Review Committee reviewed the two sketch plan and public safety preferred the 19 lot subdivision but agreed there was a path to approval for either option. 4. That at previous City Open Houses, residents preferred more environmental protections, fewer lots adjacent to their properties, and did not support a rezoning or smaller than 2.5 acre lots. 5. The Applicant proposes 2.5 acre lots on private well and septic. 6. The Planning Commission recommended that the Applicant work with City Staff to revise the application and come back with a formal sketch plan application. 7. The Applicant's preferred vision requires a variance from the Planning Commission for cul-de-sac length, but that the preferred 9 lot layout preserves significant environmental areas and has a low density aligning with resident's vision for the area. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RAMSEY, ANOKA COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA, as follows: 1. That the Applicant shall work with Ramsey City Staff to further develop their 9 lot concept plan. 2. That the City Council supports environmental protections on the Subject Property, including larger lots, saving significant trees, and extra wetland protections. 3. That the City Council supports 2.5 acre lots, or larger, on the Subject Property, on private well and septic. The City Council does not support shared septic systems. 4. That the Applicant shall formally apply for a sketch plan application aligning with the 9 lot subdivision and shall apply for a variance, to run in parallel with the sketch plan, for cul-de-sac length. The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Councilmember , and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same:
