RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A SUBDIVISION WAIVER
FOR 7225 1st AVENUE
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 7225 1st Avenue, legally
described as:
Parcel One: Lots 11 and 12, Block 1, Scheubles First Addition, Hennepin County,
Minnesota
WHEREAS, the applicant proposes to divide the above-described Parcel A into two
parcels, legally described as:
Parcel A: Lot 11, Block 1, Scheubles First Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota
Parcel B: Lot 12, Block 1, Scheubles First Addition, 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;
2. This waiver is subject to the following condition:
• That the HRA complete the purchase of the property; and
• That following the approval of the necessary demolition permits, the existing
home and garage located at 7225 1st Avenue are removed.
3. Once purchase and demolition are 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 23rd day of October,
2012.
