COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 26, 1990 Three of the newly created lots meet front footage requirements, however the fourth does not. The Design Review Board had recommended in the past that the Council approve the division without a variance. However, they are now uncomfortable with this action and have requested that the Council approve a variance as well as the lot split. Mayor Bisel explained that these lots are grandfathered and the subdivision could be approved without the variance. He gave the background on this matter regarding how approximately six one acre lots were built on prior to the revision of the City Code increasing the size of sewered lots. Mayor Bisel noted that the current residence is located on Sunrise Drive and Mr. Miller explained that this residence will be connected to sanitary sewer in the near future as required by the current policy. Mr. Miller also explained that the Building Inspector has physically checked and found the drainfield for the existing residence entirely on the newly created lot.

On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Miller noted that not all of the material for this presentation was included in the Council packets and apologized for this oversight.

Establishing this district at this time is a safety measure to insure that TIF will be available when the areas outlined in the district develop. The District consists of the area planned for the outlet malls, the area planned for the Inside Sports complex and Rice Lake Plaza. The District can be amended in the future and does not go into effect until it is registered at Anoka County. Council Member Reinert moved to adopt Resolution No. 04 - 90. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. It was suggested that anyone interested in this matter should send letters to our state representatives letting them know that
