CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 5, 1982 E. Dayton -Hudson Simple Lot Division - The Planning Commission also recomaen-Ued granting variance for this particular parcel. --Eder - personally objects - all lots that are subdivided that meet the minimum requirement have to have the area requirements. This is a 1200 acre.tract which demonstates no hardship for compliance. One and Two acre lots are-requie d to have the full' -area - this should be no different. --Mottaz - questioned how often this parcel can be subdivided into smaller lots and how often it has been done to date. --Whittaker - any pre-existing parcel,at the time of purchase could be considered a separate parcel. Ordinance does not govern the number of Simple Lot Divisions for a parcel before an overall plan is required. --Whittaker - want to guarantee the worth of one acre lots by requiring total land area - 10 and 40A parcels are large parcels that would meet any requirement for land purposes - not as critical in large lots as in l 1/2 acre lots. Would not recommend nominal 1 1/2 acre lots. --Eder - objective of large parcels is :to:Jeep and encourage agricultural use. Would hope to find a way to transfer such parcels so the use would remain the same. Feels in the long run 10A parcels will 'present problems. If a property owner has only 40A, then,,a,Variance could be considered.to permit four I A parcels, or 900 of the total required. --Mottaz - suggested accepting the simple lot division, as drawn, but, require Dayton Hudson to dedicate the right-of- ways for Keats: and County 70. --Eder - agreed with the dedication but does not favor the reduced area that would be created by removing the .r-o-w from the 10A parcel. Anyone who subdivides is required to have the full, land amount plus dedicate any road right-of-way, The lot area is outside of right-of-wa.y dedication. Requiring dedication of right-of-way on Co. 70 and. Keats .i.s only formalizing something that already exists. Disappointed there is no plan for the overall use of the:12,00 acres --Mottaz - how is park dedication handled on this type of Simple Lot Division. --Whittaker - policy says this building permit is requested. to provide for park dedication, number of simple lot divisions requiring an overall plan,, --Mottaz - agrees should have a can be requested at the time a. Recommended consideri.nq the Code road dedication and limit the to two on any one parcel, before plan for the entire parcel. M,/S/ Eder/Mottaz to deny the.varia.nce request to permit a simple lot divison for .Dayton Hudson Discussion: --Novak - no hardship has been demonstrated. Adequate .land there in order to meet the code. --Moraxan - adequate landaava fable to meet the code and ordinances No difference than if. subdividing 1 1/2 lots. --Val Parranto - Dayton Hudson legal counsel - questioned denial of the variance despite the Planning Commission recommendation to approve - just because Dayton Hudson owns the land. --Eder - may have alluded to Dayton property in discussion; but the concern is that the Code requirements be met whenever there is adequate property to do so. Also, need to review the Code.
