• • Planning & Zoning Board February 13, 2001 Page 9 single family residential. Staff explained Mr. Grubbs also owned the adjoining Apitz Garage and was the potential owner of the adjoining City/County owned property at the corner of Hodgson Road and Birch Street. The City/County and Mr. Grubbs were currently working on an agreement that would include right -of -way dedication along Hodson Road and transfer of the remaining parcel to Mr. Grubbs. The property owner had agreed to dedicate an additional 27' to 29' of right -of -way on the east side of Hodson Road in this location that was acceptable to the County. Staff had reviewed this minor subdivision request and commented the applicant had demonstrated that a future street layout was possible to serve the plat and minimize access on to Birch Street. The applicant had met with Anoka County regarding right -of- way needs for Hodson Road and was willing to dedicate the additional right -of -way along the west property line and had revised his sketch accordingly. The proposed new lots met the minimum lot dimensions and other requirements under the current zoning. Staff recommended approval of this minor subdivision with the following conditions: 1. Dedication of 27 — 29.73' of right -of -way is dedicated along the west property line of both Parcel A and B and required by Anoka County. 2. Approval of this minor subdivision does not guarantee, nor imply approval of any subsequent development plans for the property. Chair Schaps asked if the property on the corner was acquired by foreclosure. Ms. Wyland replied it had been confiscated by the County and then purchased from the County by the City. Chair Schaps asked if Mr. Grubbs had indicated any desire for an expansion of the business onto that property. Ms. Wyland replied Mr. Grubbs may want to expand his business into this area. Chair Schaps asked if applicant wanted to make comment. Rockey Goertz, applicant, presented a color diagram indicating what they proposed. He stated he and Mr. Grubbs had not decided what they were going to do with the corner piece. Mr. Rafferty asked how the entrance on Hwy 49 was going to work. Mr. Powell responded they intended on an entrance off of Birch Street, which they would attempt to line up with Ware Road to create a cross intersection. That would eliminate Mr. Grubbs access onto Birch Street. The Hwy 49 access would be a right -in, right -out access only. Mr. Corson inquired about the impact this would make to the lake and asked this be considered. • Ms. Lane made a MOTION to approve the Minor Subdivision, with the conditions outlined by staff, and was supported by Mr. Corson. Motion carried 4 -0 -1 (Rafferty).
