COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 22, 2001 The property is zoned Rural. This lot comprises one acre when measured to the centerline of Hodgson Road. The lot was created prior to the 10 -acre minimum lot size new required in the Rural zone. The strip of land to be removed is approximately 1328 square feet, or 0.03 acre. The application involves a very minor change and poses no concern for public health, safety, or welfare. Mr. Dahl plans to construct a new house on the lot. That will require a building permit. The typical building permit review will address such issues as setback, a driveway permit from Anoka County, a culvert under the driveway, and septic system requirements. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the application on October 10, 2001 and recommended its approval with the following condition: The strip of land of approximately 0.03 acre removed from the parcel must be combined with the lot to the south. Proof of the recording of the new legal descriptions must be furnished to the City by the applicant within ten (10) days of the recording.

That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. 2.

That the hardship is not due to economic considerations alone and when a reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance.
