WHEREAS, an application has been filed with the City of Richfield which
requests approval of a subdivision waiver for the division of certain parcels of land
located at 6812 14th Avenue, legally described as:
Parcel One: The East 1/2 of Block 6, except the North 126 feet thereof
and except the South 320.3 thereof, RICH FIELDS, Hennepin County, Minnesota

and except the South 320.3 feet thereof, RICH FIELDS, Hennepin County,
Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the City has fully considered the request for approval for the
subdivision waiver; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that compliance with the City Code Section
500.05, Subdivision 1 would result in substantial hardship and that failure to comply
therewith will not interfere with the purposes of the platting regulations of Section
500.01.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the parcel of land to be subdivided is
surrounded by such development and unusual conditions as to make compliance with
minimum lot area requirements a substantial hardship and that failure to comply with
minimum lot area requirements will not injure the public welfare and that the interests of
the city and surrounding area are protected and the general intent and spirit of minimum
lot area requirements is preserved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Richfield, Minnesota, as follows:
1. A waiver for the subdivision of the Subject Property legally described above
is hereby granted;

• That following the approval of the necessary demolition permits, the
existing home and garage located at 6812 14th Avenue are removed.
3. Once demolition is completed, City staff is authorized and directed to take
any action necessary to effectuate this Resolution and to authorize the
recording of conveyances complying with the terms of this Resolution.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 14th day of
