Rosella Sonsteby Rezoning Public Hearing (Comm. #3-83-9) Chairman Bosell opened the public hearing. Rosella Sonsteby, 4151 - 141st Avenue N.W. - stated that she would like to have the property known as Shirley's Estates rezoned from R-l to R-4 for the purpose of platting smaller lots. The property will be served by sanitary sewer. Chairman Bosell asked if all of the lots are stubbed. Mrs. Sonsteby replied that 4 or 5 are now stubbed and 1 or 2 more will be put in. She also noted that Jeff Caine of Caine and O'Malley has the soil borings and they are satisfactory. Chairman Bosell asked if there will be a problem because this area is in the CAB service area. City Engineer Schrantz noted that we already have the sewer stubs in so there won't be any problems. John Zillhardt, 3753 - 145th Avenue N.W. - was concerned that he would be getting city water because of the plat. Chairman Bosell explained that the ordinance says you have to hookup to city water if it's available and it is not available in that area as yet. MOTION by Spotts, seconded by Rogers to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Apel, seconded by Spotts that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the request of Rosella Sonsteby, 4151 - 141st Avenue N.W., Q,o rezone the property described as 'That part of the east 400.00 feet of Government Lot , Section 29, Township 32, Range 24, Anoka County, Minnesota, lying northerly of the following described line: Beginning at a point on the east line of said Government Lot 2, distant 473.00 feet northerly of the southeast corner thereof, for the purposes of this description the east line of said Government Lot 2 is assumed to bear N. 1008'32" east; Planning and Zoning commissio\.-,'{eeting April 26, 1983 - Minutes Page 2 u rSonsteby Rezoning, Cont.) \ ,-,I thence N. 88051'28" W. a distance of 150.00 feet; thence N. 69000'00" W. a distance of 265.81 feet to the west line of the east 400.00 feet of said Government Lot 2, said line there terminating.' from R-l to R-4 pursuant to Ordinance 8G, Section 5.02, for the following reasons: 1) It would not adversely affect the health, safety or general welfare of the residents of the City of Andover; 2) It would not cause undue hazards or serious traffic congestion; 3) It would not have a significant impact on the value of adjacent homes; 4) It is in compliance with the intent and general purpose of the zoning ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. A public hearing was held and no significant opposition was voiced. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council on May 17, 1983. Rosella Sonsteby Variance (Comm. #4-83-4) Rosella Sonsteby, 4151 - 141st Avenue N.W. - stated that she wants to deed a 10 foot strip of her property to John Johanson so that he has a bigger lot. Commissioner Spotts asked how this would affect the cul-de-sac that is shown in the plat of Shirley's Estates. Chairman Bosell noted that it would have no affect at all. MOTION by Knutson, seconded by Rogers that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of a variance requested by Rosella Sonsteby to transfer a ten foot strip of property from Plat 65929, Parcel 5400 to Plat 65929, Parcel 1800, con- tingent upon it being combined, for the following reasons: 1) It will not adversely affect the existing or potential use of adjacent land; 2) It is in conformance with the Comprehen- sive Plan; 3) It is necessary to the reasonable use of the land; 4) It will make the parcel it is being attached to a more suitable parcel of land as it will have a wider side yard setback. Motion carried unanimously. This will go to the City Council on May 17, 1983. Shirley's Estates Preliminary Plat Public Hearing (Comm. #3-83-5) Chairman Bosell opened the public hearing. City Engineer Schrantz reviewed his memo regarding this plat, noting the following: 1) Access is from 143rd Avenue to Xenia Street. Questioned whether the easement should go all the way back to the park property; 2) The flood hazard elevation is 870. Lot 6 is below the flood hazard; according to the grading plan that lot will be filled. The preliminary plat needs to have this lot shaded to indicate filling; 3) Soil borings are needed to establish the highest known water table; 4) Drainage should go between the lots rather than across the back yards; 5) Sanitary sewer with services has been constructed; however, we will need to construct two more services. 6) The owner's contiguous property to the west is not shown on the plat - this will require a variance; 7) The park land as shown in planned to satisfy the park dedication for Rosella's Addition and Shirley's Estates; 8) Lots 1 and 2 are twice the average size lot, requiring a variance (it was noted that this requirement for a variance has been eliminated from the ordinance). Mr. Schrantz noted that the low part of the park marked wetland will be graded. This was negotiated with the Park Board. \ , /lairman Bosell stated that Lots 1 and 2 have to meet the shoreline requirements, which -require a 75 foot setback. She also noted that this plat needs to be submitted to the State Division of Waters. She noted that the front yard setback has to be 35 feet and in the legend it should state that the rear yard setback for Lots 1 and 2 will be 75 feet from the ordinary high water mark. U Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting April 26, 1983 - Page 3 u (Shirley's Estates, Cont.) , I , / City Engineer Schrantz asked if the street and utility construction for Shirley's Estates will be done at the same time as the construction for Rosella's Addition. Mrs. Sonsteby replied that it will. Steve Wood, 3723 - 145th Avenue N.W. - felt that the easement up to the park land was a good idea as an access to the park is needed. Mrs. Sonsteby noted that the easement will be deeded outside of the plat. It should not be a part of the plat. City Engineer Schrantz questioned whether that street should be built. Mrs. Sonsteby noted that it will be graded and will be a dirt road. She doesn't want to seed the park property and then have people driving back in there tearing up the seed. Chairman Bosell asked Mrs. Sonsteby if it is her idea that when the mobile home park comes in that the park land will increase. Mrs. Sonsteby stated it will be increased at that time. Chairman Bosell noted that we could approve the plat contingent on the 66 foot road easement being graded and constructed for fire fighting accessibility to the park land. MOTION by Spotts, ,seconded by Rogers to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Chairman Bosell noted that there are some corrections that need to be made on the plat. They include deleting the comment about the variance for Lots 1 and 2 because of their size; the 75 foot setback for the lake lots; shading of the property that needs to be filled; and, the 35 foot front yard setback. City Engineer Schrantz also noted that the soil borings need to be provided and the drainage along Lots 3, 4, 5 and 6 needs to be changed. Commissioner Rogers asked if the culvert off 143rd will need to be extended. Mr. Schrantz stated yes. Chairman Bosell asked if the Commissioners wanted to review this at the May 10th meeting to make sure that all of the revisions and corrections were made. It was the concensus of the Commission that this should be on our May lOth agenda and that it would then go to the Council on May 17th. MOTION by Schreiner, seconded by Knutson that the Andover Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the preliminary plat known as Shirley's Estates, developer Rosella Sonsteby, legally described as 'That part of the east 400.00 feet of Government Lot 2, Section 29, Township 32, Range 24, Anoka County, Minnesota, lying norther- ly of the following described line: Beginning at a point on the east line of said Govern- ment Lot 2, distant 473.00 feet northerly of the southeast corner thereof, for the purposes of this description the east line of said Government Lot 2 is assumed to bear N. 1008'32" east; thence N. 88051 '28" W. a distance of 150.00 feet; thence N. 69000'00" W. a distance of 265.81 feet to the west line of the east 400.00 feet of said Government Lot 2, said line there terminating'.
