.:'1 ",' February 15, 2000 Ms. Claudette Denesen Ramsey County Property Records & Revenue 50 West Kellogg Boulevard Saint Paul, MN 551102 RE: Acceptable combination o/two lots located at 1323 Burke Avenue, Roseville. Dear Ms. Denesen: The City of Roseville has been working with Mr. Tom Coil to accommodate his proposal of creating an additional single family residential lot at 1323 Burke Avenue. The history of this parcel, Lots 16 - 20, Block 2, Midway Hills Rearrangement of Como Garden Lots, dates back to before 1952. However, the exact approval date this subdivision is a mystery. The City is unable to locate the initial subdivision file and corresponding date. The City of Roseville has determined Midway I-Ii Us Rearrangement of Como Garden Lots to be a legal plat of record. This status would allow certain lots to be combined under the requirements of the Roseville City Code. Section 1012.0lC of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance states: Contiguous Vacant Lots: Where two (2) or more contiguous vacant lots are held in single ownership within a subdivision which was duly recorded prior to May 21, 1959, which lots are individually not of the required minimum area or width for the district in which they are situated, no special exceptions shall be required for the issuance of building permits provided that such lots shall be developed in groups or fractions of groups, as single lots, to provide the minimum lot frontage and area required for each structure. The purpose of this provision is to permit utilization of isolated recorded lots which lack adequate width or area so long as reasonable living standards can be provided and to widen substandard-sized vacant lots wherever practicable so that they will be in harmony with the existing or projected character of the neighborhood in which they are situated. (Ord. 275, 5-12-1959)
