• PLANNING & ZONING BOARD January 8, 1986 Page Two JACK CANFIELD - METES & BOUNDS SUBDIVISION - VARIANCE TO LOT SIZE AND WIDTH Mr. Canfield represented his request for a metes and bounds subdivision for his property on Birch and 12th Streets. Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Canfield has been made aware of the requirements for frontage and lot sizes, but that he wished to pursue the variances. Mr. Johnson reviewed the request and recom- mended denial. Mr. Canfield said that he could planfor a three lot subdivision rather than a four lot subdivision and meet the ordinance requirements, however, financially he would prefer four lots. He also mentioned that he felt that he would have had adequate 10+ acre lots had Anoka County not taken a portion of his and for a road easement. Mr. Canfield was told that the financial position of the appl icant isnot the concern of the P & Z Board, but rather the situations which may be created for the City. Whether or not the Board can consider the County easement with regard to the lot sizes is a question which would need to be researched by the City Planner. Mr. McLean told Mr. Canfield that the P & Z Board will be beginning the task on 1/15/86 of reviewing the comprehensive plan for the City and that Mr. Canfield or any Lino Lakes citizen is welcome to attend these meetings and that there is a possibility that the area which Mr. Canfield owns may be subject to a rezone which would allow for smaller lots, in which case Mr. Canfield may want to pursue an entirely different subdivision. • Mr. Canfield appeared to be interested in this possibility and stated that he would like to attend the 1/15/86 comprehensive plan review meeting. MOTION:, Mr. Prokop moved that the request for a metes and bounds subdivision and variance to lot size and width for Mr. Jack Canfield be tabled until such time that the petitioner has had an opportunity to pursue future possibilities. There is no time limit in tabling this item. Mr. Doocy seconded the motion which carried unanimously. • NEW BUSINESS Mr. Johnson brought to the attention of the P & Z Board the proposed plat which has just been submitted to the City by D. Erickson Home Builders for a extension of sewer into the property across Birch Street from Lakes Addition for approxi- mately 100 homes (mostly 75' X 150' lots). This request is going through the initial necessary reviews by City Planner and Engineer. OLD BUSINESS The Board discussed some of the items for consideration during the upcoming comprehensive plan review and some of their thoughts regarding possible changes such as the possibility of smaller lots on the southern 1/3 of the City (south of Birch St.). There was also a concern voiced for the continuing problem of lack of park property on the east side of the City. Board members were reminded of the 1/15/86 meeting at 7:00 P.M. Mr. Kluegel was asked to send the comprehensive plan review priority list and comprehensive plan booklets to the task force members. Mr. Johnson suggested dotting a map of recent requests for variances, lot splits, etc. for use at the meeting.
