• • STAFF ORIGINATOR: C. C. MEETING DATE: TOPIC: VOTE REQUIRED: BACKGROUND AGENDA ITEM 7D Michael Grochala March 10, 2003 Resolution No. 03 -17 Approving Minor Subdivision, NE % NE % of Section 9 SSR & W Development, LLC (Willard Morton) Simple Majority Mr. Willard Morton's firm, SSR & W Development, LLC, owns property in Lino Lakes. The SSR & W property includes 80+ acres in Section 9. The application is to split off 11 acres from an existing 40 -acres parcel, and combine the new 11- acre piece with a one -acre strip that connects to Main St. SSR & W would then sell the new lot to allow for a new home site. Staff understands that Mr. Brad Racutt wants to buy the property and build a new home. The application raised numerous important issues regarding implementation of the long -range plan for the City, as represented in the comprehensive plan. The City Council discussed this application at its work session on November 20, 2001. Staff prepared an option that included the dedication of a partial right of way. Mr. Racutt rejected the option, and both he and Mr. Morton waived the statutory deadlines for City action on the application. On January 9, 2003, we received a letter that rescinded that waiver and re- started the period allowed for City action. On January 21 we received a request for approval of the minor subdivision with the partial easement. The proposal was again reviewed by the City Council on February 11, 2002. City staff, citing issues raised during the revision of the City's subdivision ordinance and possible public safety issues recommended that the application be denied. The City Council tabled the application and requested that it be sent back to the Planning_ & Zoning Board for further review.
