Legal Description of Property Existing Parcel Description- The East Half of the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 30, Township 33, Range 26, Sherburne County, Minnesota. The narrative is your opportunity to describe, promote, and sell your proposal to the Board of Adjustment and City Council (if needed) and should explain your request in detail and how the five criteria are met in order to be granted a variance. I am proposing to split a total Site area of 5.03 AC into total lot area of 4.18AC into two separate lots equal lots of 2.09 AC. Lot 2 of Perkins Acres that currently has no buildings on it I would propose if this variance got approved will eventually be developed into a single family residence property. A variance may be granted by the board only if it finds that: The variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance This Variance I believe to be in Harmony with the General purpose intent ordinance of the City of Elk River. The variance is consistent with the City of Elk River Comprehensive Plan (discuss with city staff if needed) My request in addition to allow the subdivision of this property into two smaller parcels than the 2.5 AC minimum for this Zone Would be to Allow the Proposed Cul-de-sac in the preliminary plat to shift south enough so it's no longer in proximity of the edge of the wetland. I also am curious to know if the Cul-de-sac could be smaller than whats on the preliminary plat drawing or is that a fixed code requirement? If so I would propose to make the Cul-de-sac as small as the city would allow. Also if the City would permit the well to exist within the easement zone of the Cul-de-sac so that the Cul-de-sac could shift as far south as possible that the city would allow as well as avoid relocating utilities near the western border of the proposed Cul-de-sac Page 70 of 83
