PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD December 14, 1988 <br /> Jerry Blackbird had no objections to the tabling. <br /> Mr. Irwin seconded the motion, motion passed with Mr. Joyer <br /> obstaining. <br /> MINOR SUBDIVISION REQUEST FROM SYLVIA MARIER, APPLICATION <br /> *88-39. <br /> Sylvia Marier owns approximately 40 acres of land in the <br /> northeast part of Lino Lakes . She recently made application <br /> to subdivide the land into four parcels. Three of them <br /> would be ten acres and the fourth would be 9. 1 acres with a <br /> half acre exception. <br /> The applicant has submitted a resubdivision plan for the <br /> four parcels and is willing to grant easements for roads and <br /> utilities. The resubdivision plan shows a curvilinear <br /> street pattern for the area that avoids wetlands found on <br /> the property and that shows future development into 90 foot <br /> wide residential lots. The location and placement of the <br /> lots is such that easements for county ditches and a power <br /> line would not interfere with construction of the houses . <br /> Ron Stahlberg, the Lino Lakes City Engineer, superimposed <br /> the resubdivision plan in an aerial photo of the Marier <br /> property and found the plan followed the contours of land. <br /> Mr. Stahlberg felt the subdivision should be approved. <br /> John Miller, City Planner, called Hult and Associates , the <br /> surveyors who completed the work, and complimented them on a <br /> job well done. <br /> The land is in the city' s "R" Rural zoning district. The <br /> minimum lot size is ten acres with 330 feet of frontage. <br /> Mr. Miller is not concerned that one of the parcels is less <br /> than ten acres as quarter-quarter sections are seldom <br /> exactly 40 acres in size. the applicant has met the spirit <br /> of the city' s zoning ordinance. <br /> Mr. Prokop would like to issue a variance for the parcel <br /> that is 9. 1 acres. He is not against the splitting, but he <br /> is concerned about a precedent being set that we may (as a <br /> board) not find comfortable with in the future. <br /> Ms. Nelson feels we can state that the problem is hardship <br /> of the land and even with the half acre exception this plot <br /> was shy of 40 acres. <br /> Page 4 <br />
