version. The City has been notified that this month the Minnesota Building Codes and Standards Division will be converting from the Uniform Building Code to the International Building Code (IBC). Municipalities that enforce the State Building Code need to update their building code to reflect the change. The ordinance proposed at this time is self-perpetuating and will always reflect the most current edition of the State Building Code. Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Pearson, to introduce an ordinance to adopt the Minnesota State Building Code. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, and Councilmembers Kurak, Pearson, Cook, Elvig, Strommen, and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #6: Request for Final Plat Review of Sandy Acres; Case of Michael Schelkoph Principal Planner Trudgeon stated that Michael Schelkoph has applied for final plat approval to subdivide his homestead (approximately 4.7 acres) on Ramsey Boulevard at 153rd Avenue NW. The property is zoned R-1 Residential and is located in the Central Rural Reserve Area. The proposed minor subdivision is a replat of the Schelkoph homestead that will create two new lots. Proposed Lot 1 is approximately 2.11 acres, and Proposed Lot 2 is approximately 2.60 acres. The applicant was granted a variance by the Board of Adjustment to the 2.5-acre minimum lot size and the four units per 40-acre density on August 29, 2002. The Planning Commission granted sketch plan approval at its November 7, 2002 meeting. The existing homestead will remain on the proposed Lot 2. The submitted final plat shows access to Ramsey Boulevard dedicated to Anoka County (this dedication was requested by the County). At their November 14, 2002 meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission recommended park dedication and trail fees be satisfied with a cash payment. Staff recommended approval of the final plat contingent upon compliance with the City staff review letter dated March 6, 2003 and the developer entering into a development agreement with the City. Staff noted that a re-subdivision plan was included with the request to identify possible urban lots if sewer and water was extended into the area. That is a common practice that has been done in the past. Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to approve the final plat contingent upon compliance with the City staff review letter dated March 6, 2003 and the developer entering into a development agreement with the City. Further discussion: Councilmember Kurak stated that she had asked staff to address the urban plat since it was not included in the case and recommended that in the future that type of plan be submitted with all subdivisions. Principal Planner Trudgeon replied that they would make sure that that is included in the Chapter 9 revisions. He noted that the plan does not bind anyone to anything, it is only to demonstrate that a resubdivision is possible. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, and Councilmembers Kurak, Elvig, Cook, Pearson, Strommen, and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. City Council/March 11, 2003 Page 11 of 23
