the abbreviated subdivision of "Woodridge Estates Fourth Addition" a preliminary
plat, according to the provisions of Subdivision Ordinance 87-10, Section 6-3-1; and
WHEREAS:
notice of the proposed preliminary plat and lot width variances were published and
posted in accordance with MS 462.358, Subd. 3b and Subdivision Ordinance 87-10;
and
WHEREAS: the public hearing was continued to February 5, 1996; and
WHEREAS:
persons interested in said public hearing were afforded the opportunity to present their
views related to the preliminary plat and lot width variances; and
WHEREAS:
the City Council approved the preliminary plat of Woodridge Estates on September 3,
1991, indicating seven, 10,000 square foot single family lots to be developed on the
subject site following filling of the existing wetland; and
WHEREAS:
the subject site was not developed within two years of preliminary plat approval and
therefore is subject to the current Wetland Conservation Act, Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances; and
WHEREAS:
substantial physical activity and investment have occurred in reasonable reliance on the
approved preliminary plat of Woodridge Estates and the current applicant, who is not
the original developer, has redesigned the site to create three lots consistent with
current Zoning standards with the exception of 86' lot width for proposed Lots 2 and 3;
and
WHEREAS:
strict application of current Zoning Ordinance standards to the remaining part of the
subdivision of Woodridge Estates would create an excessively large lot, (41,750 square
feet) which would be out of character with other approved lots within the subdivision;
and
WHEREAS:
Subdivision Ordinance 87-10, Section 6-9-1 allows the City Council to grant a variance
in a particular case where the subdivider can show by reason of exceptional topography
or any other exceptional and undue hardship, provided such relief may be granted
without detriment to the public welfare and without impairing the intent and purpose of
