^ This is the only property in this neighborhood that meets the City's frontage and lot square footage requirements for a subdivide. o Lot 23 Block 2 =Homestead in 2007 but recently sold, remodeled and rented out. Assuming 2008 taxes will reflect a non homestead (rentals) o Lot 24 Block 2 of the original Ridgewood East Plat has been allowed to be subdivided into 4 parcels (A-D), all of which are now homestead properties. There are currently 2 sets of twin homes on these 4 parcels, and 2 of the 4 are well /septic properties (see below) and do not meet frontage or lot square footage requirements. The other set of twin homes may or may not be well septic, but they too do not meet city guidelines. o Lot 24 Block 2 (11868 192°d Ave NV~ =Homestead and Subdivided ^ Lot Sq Ft = 8,276 per tax records ^ Dimensions 53x142x64x142 per lot drawing in this file at the City (this property was allowed to be subdivided with 53' of road frontage, less than 10,000 sq feet on the lot and it too is a well and septic property.) o Lot 24 Block 2 (11866 192° Ave NW) =Homestead and Subdivided ^ Lot Sq Ft = 4,356 per tax records ^ Dimensions 32.02 x 142.09 (this property was allowed to be subdivided with only 32' of frontage, less than 10,000 sq feet on the lot, and it too is well and septic.) j~~ ~~ ;as • There are several properties on this same street (and in this same plat) that are currently subdivided that do not meet city guidelines for a single family split. o My property at 11948 / 11938 192°d Ave NW in Elk River meets the square footage requirements for both lots should a subdivide be allowed. o The only variance that needs to be given is for frontage requirements on the property at 11938192"d Ave NW. After the property is split, this lot would have approximately 70' of frontage versus the 80' offrontage required by the city on a single family lot split o Currently both units have their own private sewer systems but share one well. The property to the east, 11938 192nd Ave NW would then need to have its' own private well installed prior to the sale /split. ^ All properties that have been allowed to be subdivided are currently homesteaded properties and those that are still one PID are investment /rental properties. It will only help the neighborhood values to allow for a subdivide and sell each unit as a homesteaded property. 3. No special conditions or circumstances are due to my own actions or inactions. 4. Other properties in this same district have been allowed to be subdivided and do not meet the city's frontage and lot square footage requirements. By allowing this property to also be subdivided, you are only helping to increase property values in this neighborhood, not putting any home owners at risk in the least bit. 5. The variance will not be injurious to or adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of any of the residents of the City or the neighborhood.
