St. Paul Regional Water Services, page 2 •arcel 21 : Peltier Lake Location Existing Land Use Guided Land Use Existing Zoning Site Vacant Public / Semi -Public PSP North Vacant Public / Semi- Public PSP South Vacant Public / Semi - Public PSP East Lake N/A N/A West Vacant Public / Semi - Public PSP Parcel 21 is located on the west side of Peltier Lake and has approximately 1,850 feet of lake frontage, but again does not have any road frontage. The proposed subdivision will result in the creation of 2 new parcels, Parcel A will be 10.014 acres and Parcel B will be 1.206 acres. Parcel A will be sold to Anoka County for inclusion into the regional park and Parcel B will be sold to Anoka County for roadway. The minimum requirements within the PSP zoning district are as follows: Minimum Lot Area (Unsewered) 10 Acres Minimum Lot Width 150 Feet In addition, the subdivision ordinance requires that `all lots shall have frontage on an improved public street that provides the required lot width at the minimum front yard setback'. e proposed minor subdivision will divide both lots into two of which none will not meet the above requirements. FINDINGS In considering all requests for Variance or appeal and in taking subsequent action, the City shall make a finding of fact: a. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. Both sites are almost completely surrounded by the lake and the regional park reserve, and would not be able to be developed as usable parcels due to the lack of road frontage. b. That the plight of the landowners is due to physical circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The physical shape, location and isolated nature of the parcels prevent use for anything other than park reserve or private lake access for adjacent property owners. c. That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. Economic considerations is not a major factor in this proposal, the intent is to minimize the applicant's lakeshore holdings for the future.
