COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 24, 1995 replaced, however, no other major changes are planned for the site. Mr. Jurosec explained that there is not much land left at the site for additional equipment. Council Member Elliott moved to approve the Amended Conditional Use Permit with the condition that proper building permits be obtained prior to installation. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of a Minor Subdivision, Art LaCasse, 6609 - 24th Avenue - Ms. Wyland used the overhead projector to outline this request. She noted that this item had been before the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council in February, 1994. The original request was to split 40 acres into two (2) parcels, one 33 acres in size to facilitate the sale to a developer and the other 6.21 acres which contains the homestead. After deliberation between the potential developer and the property owner, a revised plan was submitted in January 1995 which reconfigured the lot lines to allow a 7.72 acre parcel containing the homestead and a 32.9 acre parcel which contained an island of upland intended for park dedication. This plan was approved by the City and has been recorded at Anoka County. The developer has platted Clearwater Creek. The property owner has now determined that he would prefer a slightly different configuration to concludee the sale of a portion of the property to his grandchildren. Mr. LaCasse would like to retain a 2.62 acre parcel containing the existing homesite and a 10.23 acre site to be sold to one of his grandchildren. Mr. Emmerich, the developer of Clearwater Creek, has agreed to make a trade and sale to Mr. LaCasse to facilitate this new parcel arrangement. The property is zoned Rural and Single Family Residential (R-1). Municipal utility services will not be available to serve the site, therefore, the 10 acre minimum lot size will apply to the newly created parcel. Staff has reviewed the request and recommends approval. Mr. Emmerich has agreed to the re -arrangement of lot lines, and Mr. LaCasse is dividing his property as he wishes. The zoning of the site should be corrected, however, this can be facilitated with a future zoning map update. Mr. LaCasse has also advised staff that he would like to move the existing barn onto the homestead property. Aesthetically, it would fit with this property better than the 10 acre parcel which will ultimately contain new construction. The rafters of the barn are in good condition but the foundation needs repair. The PAGE 7
