Page 4 <br />October 14, 1975 <br />a lot division with five lots on Sunnyside to allow for this road easement. <br />He had his surveyor redraw the plat into five lots. Then, in attemps to <br />sell the lots, interested parties were no longer interested after they heard <br />the costs of the assessments. He said it seems nobody wants to pay that <br />much for that size lot. He said Ramsey County ultimately decided not to <br />ask for the additional 16 feet. They said it was a misunderstanding because <br />of an incorrect drawing made by his surveyor. Mr. Balk said he would like <br />to go back to his original request of six lots on Sunnyside. <br />Mrs. Haake, Planning Commission Chairwoman, said the Planning Commission <br />was concerned if the City would want to take the full 16 feet and she <br />feels the City should get together with the City of Blaine to see what <br />their plans are for County Road J. <br />Mayor Johnson said he feels County Road J is a problem that will be kicked <br />around for a long time unless in some way they are able to free money for <br />the highway. It may not be a good idea at this point to make the corner <br />lot 116 feet. <br />Councilman Hodges felt Mr. Balk should be given an opportunity to get as <br />many lots as possible. <br />Mr. Balk said he would like to know what he would be allowed to do <br />concerning the platting of his land considering all of the items he <br />mentioned. <br />Mayor Johnson said the City should allow for the road easement at this <br />time because it cannot be recovered later on. <br />Councilman Hodges said as long as the County does not need the additional <br />easement, he sees no reason to request it. <br />Councilman Baumgartner feels a 33' road bed should be kept which will <br />have to be continued along County Road J and a 49 foot right of way <br />would only leave way for inviting a four lane highway. <br />Councilman Pickar does not see a need for requesting a 116' lot on this <br />corner. <br />Councilman Shelquist said County Road J is classified as a minor arterial. <br />He said he talked to Mr. Clark of Ramsey County Records and Research <br />and he showed him a map which showed the existing Co. Rd. J roadbed after being <br />He doesn't see a need for a 116' lot on the corner of this particular relocated <br />parcel. However, on allowing this he would like to add that in addition in Blaine. <br />to a 33' setback, that an additional 16 feet setback be requested for <br />the house, protecting future homeowners. <br />MSP (Johnson- Hodges) to set preliminary plat hearing on the Duane R. <br />and Diane E. Balk Subdivision for 8 :30 p.m., October 27, 1975, and that <br />the Council will permit on this particular subdivision a 100 foot corner <br />lot and that the City of Blaine, County of Ramsey, and State Highway <br />Department be notified that the Council will be considering a preliminary <br />and final plat on this development with the anticipation of approving <br />a 100 foot corner lot on County Road J and if they have anyobjections <br />they should be encouraged to inform us of these objections. <br />MSP (Baumgartner- Hodges) to amend the motion to maintain a 33 foot road <br />easement on County Road J. 5 Ayes <br />
