Olson <br />DATE;July 8, 1981 <br />SUBJECT; #634 Lot Rearrangement Subdivision - Craig Winters et all <br />4100 Sixth Avenue North <br />BACKGROUND <br />Mr. Winters has purchased the large tract of land north of <br />County Road 6 known to us as the "TMG property". It contains <br />about 115 acres of which over 44 acres are wetlands, most of <br />which are on the DNR’s public waters inventory. Winters intent <br />is to build 1 house on the land. <br />This is a complicated set of properties with a very tangled <br />history of owners, subdivision applications, and unapproved lot <br />divisions. At one time, TMG applied for up to 112 units on <br />this property. They have had many different applications the <br />last of which was for 13 units in 1979. Since 1977, even before <br />TMG's last applications, they sold off parts of several parcels <br />to two neighbors (Peters and Gehrman) without City subdivision <br />approval. Gehrman inturn sold off part of his part to a third <br />neighbor (Hagfors). Tax records were never changed and in fact <br />Winters' first survey submitted for permit purposes included <br />all original TMG land including those parts in which Peters, <br />Gehrman and Hagfors have interest. <br />This application by all four parties is thus made to ratify <br />and properly record the unapproved subdivisions and sales <br />by TMG and Gehrman. Winters will end up with about 95 acres in <br />one parcel to be used for one building site. The Peters, Gehrman <br />and Hagfors parcels will be combined with their existing resi­ <br />dential lots to expand the currently undersized area of those <br />lots. Because of these combinations, no new building sites <br />are created and this proposal meets all RR-lA zoning standards. <br />It will probably simplify your review if you disregard the <br />past problems and concentrate on this simple proposal. If you <br />are interested in the history, a review of my March 18, 1981 <br />memo attached should bring you up to the date of this actual <br />application. <br />( <br />CURRENT PROPOSAL Zoninq District RR-lA, 5 acres/lot <br />This subdivision consists of combining 8 separate tax parcels <br />and then redividing into 4 resulting parcels as indicated on <br />the Jur, 25, 1981, topographical plan attached. After redivision, <br />lot combinations are to be completed with the following results:
