•f Planning Commission Minutes February 25, 1987 page 5 inesses are located on Highway 61, the land is too small for any farming, and that any increase in traffic would be limited to a small area of 170th St. Commissioner, Sullivan, Senkler, Olson, Rudisill felt this was an inappropriate use at this time considering there was no specific plan for development, the high water table and possible increased traffic. Motion made by Sullivan, seconded by Olson to recommend denial of the rezoning request by Forest Lake State Bank to rezone from Agriculture to Retail Business. AYE: Sullivan, Senkler, Rudisill, Olson NAY: Blanchard, Schreifels, Jesinski Motion carried. This item will be placed on the March 2, 1987 Council agenda. Subdivision Request - James and Diane Weber The public hearing was called to order at 7:37PM. City Administrator briefed the commission on the application and request. The public hearing was held February 25, 1987 at 7:37PM to consider the request of James & Diane Weber to subdivide a 10.5 acre tract of land in an RR2 district. The parcel of land in question is described as Parcel A cer- tificate of survey approved by the Hugo City Council on June 16, 1986. The original survey involved two parcels of land, one containing 10.5 acres and the other containing 5.4 acres. It is the applicants intent to subdivide Parcel A of the previous certificate of survey into two tracts of land one containing 5 acres and one 5.5 acres. RR2 zoning districts require a min- imum 5 acre lot size and 300 feet of frontage on a public roadway. It would appear that the lot width for parcel A as shown on the original certificate of survey is only 578.35 ft. and cannot accommodate the subdivision into two 5 acre tracts and still meet the required 300' minimum. The property in question is on Oneka Lake and is subject to compliance with lakeshore and shoreland regulations as described in Chapter 320, Article 3 of the Muni- cipal code. The required hearing notices were sent to adjoining property owners and the legal notice was published in the White Bear Press. There were no residents in attendance to comment on this matter. Mr. Weber stated their purpose in subdividing was to sell the two vacant lots. The applicants were informed of the lack of required lot width on one of the proposed lots. They did not feel a variance would be appropriate as there is no hardship to the land. The required 300 feet of frontage can be obtained by changing the lot line on the north side of Parcel B. The appli- cants will withdraw their application as presented this evening and have it resurveyed to meet the required lot size and road frontage. Webers will provide the complete legal description for Parcels A and B, these will then be published, barring any further complications. A public hearing may be scheduled for the meeting of March 25. Motion made by Olson, seconded by Senkler to adjourn at 7:57PM. All aye, motion carried. Carole LaBelle, Secretary Hugo Planning Commission
