A meeting of the Grow Township Zoning and Planning
Commission was held May 4, 1971 at Crooked Lake School. Chair-
man Norm Stout called the meeting to order at 7:45 PM with
Commission members Bradley, Christenson, Holasek, Jones, Langseth,
and Rither present.
Robert Johnson appeared before the Co~~ission. Johnson
stated that he had purchased a lot located on the south side of
165th Ave. NVl between 7th Ave. and Valley Drive. Johnson stated
that Langseth told him in June of 1970 that the lot size was OK
and had signed a purchase agreement at that time. Johnson presented
a drawing of subject lot noting that the lot was 104 feet wide by
419 feet deep. Subject location is in the R-I Zoning District.
Stout stated that it would require a variance in that a deed or
contract for deed had not been recorded. Johnson stated that the
seller is involved in probate and that the abstract is currently
being brought up to date.
Stout read letter to audience regarding cigarette burns
on floor tiles caused by smokers snuffing out cigarettes. Stout
announced that there would be no smoking. The letter was signed
by Wally Johnson, Principal of Crooked Lake school.
Attorney stated that the Ordinance only speaks of
deed or contract for deed and that a purchase agreement is not
recordable. Johnson stated that the problem is that the land is
in probate and that recording another deed would present more
problems. Discussion was held regarding 2t acres. A representative
of Smith realty asked if they could get a description of a ?t
acre plot, ask for a building permit, fulfill the requirements
and then sell back to the origina~ owner that portion of the lot
not required. Attorney stated that it would not be proper to
do so. Stout noted that if the lot was 2t acres a building permit
must be issued. Johnson stated that they would see about increasing
the size of the lot.
Lawrence Carlson appeared before the Commission regarding
preliminary plat legally described as the mq! of Section 2 T32R24.
Carlson explained to the Commission the protective covenants
which would accompany each deed, i.e., minimum square footage,
value of homes, and location of accessory buildings. Carlson
noted that he had applied for a variance on lots in Block 1, Lots
1,6,7,10,11,16, and Block 2 lots 1,6,7,9,10,11,13, and 14. Holasek
stated that we should get a copy of the variance to see what the
variance is asking. Carlson noted that the plat as presented is
the variance. Carlson noted that the road in Block 2 will bp-
redrawn in order to save more of a high ridge which is located at
the point of curve. Holasek stated that we should have the plat
as it will be in final form. It was mnved by Jones and seconded
by Langseth to recommend to Town Board to accept preliminary plat
legally described as the mv! of Section 2 T32R24 Anoka County
Minnesota including variances on frontage and lot sizes. Christenson
stated that it is not the proper procedure. Rither stated that
under the terms of the Ordinance he would have to say no. Four ayes,
two nayes, motion carried.
John Wallenbecker appeared before the Commission regarding
a metes and bounds ~lat, Oak Ridge ~funor North Sectionl North of
161st Ave. wa at SE4 of mv! of Section 17, E 1/3 of SW4 of IfNi
Section 17, T32R24 Anoka County Minnesota. Subject subdivision
is located in the R-2 Zoning District. It was moved by Jones,
seconded by Christenson to recom'1lend approval of preliminary
-2-
May 4, 1971
metes and bounds plat of Oak Ridge Manor North Section North of
161st Ave. mi. Motion carried unanimously. One copy of said metes
and bounds plat left with Zoning and Planning Commission and
endorsed with Commission resolution and signed by Norm Stout.
Stout noted that buidlings must conform to the Ordinance requirements
of the R-2 Zoning District.
Eldon Hall and attorney Bill McPherson appeared before
the Com~ission regarding a variance. McPherson stated that they
do not presently have adequate information and would like to pass
and return later. McPherson later returned and asked to be placed
on the agenda for the next meeting.
Mr and ~trs Douglas Bonde appeared before the Cowmission
regarding a variance application. Discussion was held regarding
lot size noting that the average dimensions were 118 feet wide by
151 feet deep. Subject lot is located in the R-I Zoning District.
Langseth suggested buying an additional lot. Jones, Stout discussed
swamp areas; Bonde stated that his lot is high land. Bonde stated
that the lot was recorded in November of 1970. Stout discussed
the 40,oon square foot lot provision without sewer and water,
noting that in the area of the Bonde lot the water table was high
and that the chances of polluting the ground water was good. Jones
stated that we should insure that 40,000 square feet should be
considered. Stout explained Menkveld and Bonde applications, that
both variances cover the the same lot, and asked if one should be
considered before the other. Attorney noted that the 40,000 square
foot provision does not apply in the R-l District and that the
Ordinance does not address priorities with respect to variance
applications, only that it be a lot of record prior to January 1,
1971. Holasek noted that variances are granted on characteristics
of land; subject lot is a lot of record prior to January 1, 1971;
lot does not meet the sixty percent requirement of 5.04 and that
it requires a variance. Holasek stated that it does not meet
the requirements of paragraph 5.04 of the Ordinance. Commission
to submit report of findings to the Town Board of Supervisors.
Terry Luke appeared before the Commission regarding plans
to build a house on lot 13, Block 2, Oak Ridge Manor. Luke stated
that the house would measure 26x40 with an attached 6X12 foyer,
split entry. Discussion was held regarding the square footage
requirement for the floor area with Holasek stating that it is
up to the building inspector to interpret code and Stout stating
that the code is specific on the matter of basement and living area.
Stout read definitions of cellar, basement, and floor area. Jones
noted how the floor plan could be changed to comply with the code.
Rither stated that the Building Inspector issues the permits, not
the Com~ission, and that the Ordinance sets forth the requirements.
Stout noted that the matter of floor area is before the court by E-V
Builders and will be decided by the court one way or another.
,John Boros and Harland Nelson appeared regarding a lot on
the east line of County Rd. #9, on the Hughes property. Boros noted
that Nelson would like to build but must vacate his present home by
July 1. Stout noted the predicament but the Com~ission must consider
it on an individual basis. Location of lot is in the R-I or R-3
District, with some question as to the location of the south line
of the R-3 District. Wallace Hughes asked for the procedures for
rezoning the area if not in the R-3 District. Stout told Hughes to
obtain zoning forms from the Town Clerk. Attorney to examine
Zoning Map and determine south line of the R-3 Zoning District.
It was moved by Rither, seconded by Christenson to adjourn.
Motion carried. Meeting was adjourned at 9:57 PM.
