City Council meeting of October 6, 1997 Page 2 Barnes made motion to deny the variance request of Burns and Therese Rudy because variance request does not meet criteria of hardship to the land, as required by ordinance. Motion failed for lack of second. Barnes made motion, Leroux seconded, to approve the variance of Burns and Therese Rudy, 7375 165th Street, to construct.a 24' x 24' square foot garage 10 feet from the rear property line. Variance approval is based on the following: location of gas and telephone lines, trees, and pond on the property. VOTING AYE: Goiffon, Leroux, Miron VOTING NAY: Barnes Motion Carried. SUBDIVISION (COLONNA) Emanuel R. Colonna, 4720 170th Street, requested a minor subdivision to establish two 2.5 acre lots on his approximately 40 acre parcel located at the above address. This would establish a density of three units for 40 acres on the parcel. Driveway permits for the two new lots were provided by the Washington County Public Works Department, as the project fronts CR4. Washington County HELM has certified that the two new parcels being created meet current ordinance requirements for installation of individual sewage treatment systems. Approval of the subdivision by the Rice Creek Watershed District has not been received. A wetlands delineation of the property has been accomplished. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this request at their meeting of September 24, 1997, and recommended approval of the subdivision conditioned upon approval of the project by the RCWD and a Development Agreement between the City of the property owner, limiting further subdivision of the 36.5 acre lot to one additional homesite until such time as public sewer and water become available and its zoning classification changes allow denser development. Council member Barnes stated that at some time, she would like to discuss the urban reserved area as it applies to this request. Barnes made motion, Goiffon seconded, to approve the request of Emanuel Colonna to subdivide 40 acres into two 2.5 acre lots, establishing a density of three units for 40 acres. Approval is subject to the following: 1. Applicant obtain approval of the subdivision from the RCWD. 2. The applicant enter into a Development Agreement with the City, prepared by the City Attorney at the applicant's expense, limiting further subdivision of the 36.5 acre lot to one additional homesite until such time as public sewer and water become available, and its zoning classification changes allow denser development. All aye. Motion Carried.
