The Applicant owns two (2) additional, abutting parcels,which are located in the city of Nowthen. These two parcels combined equal 1.83 acres of additional land. However, since they are not within the jurisdiction of Ramsey,they are excluded from the property size calculation. Based on the acreage of the Subject Property(5.28 acres),the Applicant would be eligible for a total of 3,500 square feet of detached accessory building space and a total of four (4) detached accessory buildings. For reference, if the two parcels in Nowthen were included,the Applicant would be eligible for 4,300 square feet of accessory building space and a total of five (5) detached accessory buildings.
