MINOR SUBDIVISION -- DELMAR STRANDBERG
Ruby and Delmar Strandberg, 7018 Wyoming Trail, Wyoming, Minnesota, and
Alton and Anna Schoch, 340 9th St. West, Dickinson, North Dakota, have
requested a minor subdivision with a variance for road frontage for
property they own in the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of
Section 7, T31N, R21W, Washington County. The property in question
consists of 21.8 acres and is zoned agriculture. The applicants have
requested subdivision of the property into one 10.8 acre parcel and one 11
acre parcel. Due to a previous subdivision of the property, the
applicants cannot provide the 300 feet of road frontage required for each
parcel and have requested a variance to 320-4, Subdivision O, of the city
code to allow subdivision as proposed. There is an existing home on
parcel A and percolation tests have been performed for parcel B but no
approval has been received for construction of the septic system from
Washington County.
During the public hearing on the proposed subdvision, Marvin LaValle,
representing the applicants stated that the one acre lot was created prior
to 1973. Commissioners concurred that because the lots met all other
requirements, they did not have a problem with the subdivision as
requested. Chairman Peltier closed the public hearing.
Motion made by Kellison, seconded by Peltier to recommend approval of the
request of Ruby and Delmar Strandberg to subdivide 21.8 acres into two
lots of 10.8 and 11 acres subject to the following conditions:
1. Septic system approval from Washington County for Parcel B.
2. Approval from Rice Creek Watershed District.
All aye, motion passed.
MINOR SUBDIVISION - GROVER STORM
Grower and Lorraine Storm, 8047 132nd St. North, have applied for
subdivision of 24.2 acres located in the southwest quarter, of the
southeast quarter of Section 21, T31N, R21W, Washington County, into one
10 acre parcel and one 14.2 acre parcel. The property is zoned RR2.
Though application for the subdivision has been made to the RCWD, no
response has been received on this action by the City. The proposed 10
acre parcel is the site of the Storm's home. The'City has not yet
received adequate septic site proof for the 14.2 acre parcel.

REZONING/MINOR SUBDIVISION/VARIANCE - YOUNG
Terrance and Josephine Young, 17396 Ingersoll Ave. No., have applied for
rezoning, subdivision and variance pertaining to their property located in
the southwest quadrant of Ingersoll Ave. and 175th St. The area is
currently zoned Conservancy. The Young's intention is to rezone to
agriculture, subdivide into one lot of 10.9 acres and one lot of 9.1
acres. The permit has been received from the RCWD, as well as statements
of suitability for septic sites on each lot from Washington County. The
Young's requested a variance to lot size for parcel A, in order to align
the property description with the north quarter section line.
Commissioners Agness, Malaski and Kellison expressed their concern
regarding rezoning 20 acres which is largely wetland. Commissioners
Peltier and Schumann felt that the applicants have met the burden of proof
that the property is suitable for two homesites, providing a permit from
RCWD and septic approvals from Washington County.
Motion made by Schumann, seconded by Peltier to recommend approval of the
request of Terrance and Josephine Young, to rezone 20 acres from
Conservancy to Agricultural.
AYE: Schumann, Peltier
NAY: Malaski, Agness, Kellison
Motion failed.
Commissioners expressed concern that the Richard Granger fast food
restaurant site plan was not referred to the Planning Commission. Mr.
Mwseus stated that the Council has the option to refer the plan to the
planning commission or act on the request without a recommendation. The
Planning Commission requested that they have the opportunity to review
site plans, as well as other applications.
Motion made by Agness, seconded by Schumann to adjourn at 8:45.
