Chairperson Deemer called the regular Board of Adjustment meeting back to order at 7:04 p.m. <br /> <br />BOARD BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: Request for a Variance from Minimum Street Frontage or Lot Width <br /> Requirements; Case of Jake Barthold <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik reported that Jake Barthold has applied for a variance from Section <br />9.11 and 9.20 of the Ramsey City Code. He has a 40 acre parcel that abuts the terminus of 157th <br />Lane, and he would like to construct a dwelling on the parcel. <br /> <br />Board Member Jensen inquired about the cul-de-sac situation. <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik explained that the Public Works Department finds the paved temporary cul-de-sac at the <br />west terminus of 157th Lane substandard with respect to adequate turning radius for road <br />maintenance vehicles. Also, there is a declining grade level around the perimeter of the cul-de-sac. <br />Ms. Frolik advised that the applicant is willing to give the City an easement for snow storage on <br />his property which eliminates the need to increase the perimeter of the cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski was agreeable to the easement. <br /> <br />Chairperson Deemer inquired whether the applicant was willing to grant the same option for 158th <br />Lane, which also abuts the subject property. <br /> <br />Mr. Barthold replied that he would. <br /> <br />Board Member Jensen inquired from which direction the driveway would be coming on to the cul- <br />de-sac. <br /> <br />Mr. Barthold replied it will come from the northwest comer of the cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik reported that she received a telephone call from Ron Albon, 6014 157th Lane, wherein <br />he requested a term in the variance stating that the private driveway will be all on the applicant's <br />property. <br /> <br />Mr. Barthold stated that once the barricade is removed, this will not be a problem. <br /> <br />Jerry Tollefson, 6005 157th Lane N.W. - inquired about the snow removal procedure, noting that <br />he lives at the end of the road. <br /> <br />Board Member Holland stated that it is not the intention of the City to leave any snow on his <br />property. <br /> <br />Mr. Tollefson stated that if the barricade isn't removed, it would. <br /> <br />Board Member Holland assumed the barricade will be taken down, and Ms. Frolik confirmed that <br />it indeed will be removed. <br /> <br />The Board of Adjustment proceeded to review the Findings of Fact. <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Thorud and seconded by Board Member Holland to amend #6 to read <br />"That the Subject Property has approximately 132 feet of frontage on a public road, 157th Lane <br />N.W. and 158th Lane N.W." <br /> <br />Board of Adjustment/May 7, 1996 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
