purpose of the requested action is to reconstitute a former farmstead.

File 98-15:Klatt Minor Subdivision:Bonnie & Don Klatt, Applicants, 11825 50'h Street N Planner Dillerud reported at its July 27, 1998 meeting, the Planning Commission adopted a recommendation for approval of this minor subdivision of platted property (Lot 1, Block 1) Fields of St. Croix, subject to the orientation and driveway access for the home on Parcel B to be south (towards the Fields neighborhood). This request will subdivide an existing 5 acre parcel that was included in the Fields plat into parcels of 3.79 acres (existing homestead) and 1.21 acres (new building lot). According to the May, 1997 Council minutes, this minor subdivision was anticipated by the City. Sewer connection to the Fields Wetland Treatment system has been provided for the new lot proposed. The existing accessory structure is in excess of the accessory structure area maximum for parcels of 2 acres to 10 acres and exists as a nonconforming structure. Unless Parcel A was to be reduced to less than 2 acres, Planner Dillerud did not believe that the City had increased the nonconformity by this Minor Subdivision.
