AA <br />EXfflBIT L Brief History of Property <br />H. <br />I. <br />J. <br />L. <br />M. <br />A. Was initially one 44+ acre tax parcel, lying on both sides of Watertown Road <br />B. Zoning pre-1967 was "Residual District" with no lot area standards in effect <br />C. Zoning from 1967-1974 was R-IC, Single Family, 1 acre minimum <br />D. ±5-acre parcel with old farmhouse (4480 Watertown) sold off prior to 1975 <br />E. Zoning from 1975 to present is RR-IA, Single Family, 5-acre minimum <br />F. 1978 - Ken Tumham constructed new residence on por*.* jn of property north of Watertown <br />Road; must have been credited for frontage along south side of Watertown Road, since north <br />side of Watertown frontage was/is only 277' where 300' is required; it's not as obvious <br />whether any credit was granted for dry buildable acreage across Watertown, and building <br />permit file has no indication on this <br />G. 1980 City condemnation for McCulley Road reduced property to 35.6 acres; as part of <br />condemnation settlement. City agreed to allow the 8-acre parcel to be split into tw'O 4-acre <br />lots in the future <br />Subdivision regulations in effect in 1980 would have allowed creation of 3 separate tax <br />parcels per road boundaries, without subdivision process <br />1984 - new subdivision code adopted (still in effect) which made such a division a Class III <br />subdivision because it results in three or more lots <br />1986 - Tumham created two separate deeds for (a) property with house north of Watertown <br />Road and (b) two property remnants south of Watertown Road; but did not do a subdivision <br />to create 3 separate tax parcels <br />K. Tumham quit-claim deeded house and land north of Watertowm Road to Van Moorlehem <br />February 1997 - City staff rejected County request for approval of division and advised <br />Tumham family members of need to complete a formal subdivision process in order that the <br />parcels be separated for tax purposes (and zoning purposes) <br />1997-98 - Hennepin County finalizing plans for Co. Rd. 6 improvements results in need for <br />2 acres of the 8 acre remnant between McCulley Road and Tumham Road to be acquired for <br />right-of-way; Tumham being paid for this 2 acres based on losing one of the two buildable <br />lots that could have been created from the 8-acre parcel.
