Code and Minot City ordinances.
Staff Recommendations:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the staff findings of fact and recommend approval of
this preliminary plat application and rezoning, subject to the following conditions, to the City Council:
1. Abandoned utility services must be capped at the utility mains per Public Works Policy.
2. Developers Agreement is required to identify the required infrastructure improvements.
3. No later than six months after a subdivision design has been approved by the City Council, the
applicant for design approval may submit the final form of the instrument or document to the City
Engineer which is to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder in order to accomplish the
subdivision or to establish the necessary predicate for the later accomplishment of the subdivision.
That is, the subdivider shall submit the final form of the original of the appropriate instrument of
conveyance, auditor’s outlot plat, or plat, and the necessary copies thereof required by ordinance or
by way of regulation. The City Engineer shall indicate his approval on the original by signing his
name under a suitable statement or legend that expresses approval. However, if the documents or
instrument for which approval is sought is a plat, then before the City Engineer approves it he shall
first satisfy himself that the technical requirements of Section 28-27 have been complied with and
that monuments have been placed at all block corners, lot corners, angle points, points of curves in
streets which are depicted in the plat, and at such intermediate points as may be required.
Chairman DeMakis asked the Principal Planner for staff comments.
The applicant is requesting approval to replat and rezone fourteen (14) existing lots described as; Lots 8A
thru 14B, Block 2, Statesboro Addition into seven (7) R1S Lots to be known as Ramstad Heights 7th
Addition. The purpose of this project is to create a single-family residential subdivision with smaller, more
affordable lots. The existing lots are located at 3501 to 3529 Kodiak Street.
The developer is requesting rezoning from the existing defunct zoning district R4, Planned Residential
District, to District R1S, Single-Family Residential with Small Lot Flexibility. Fourteen (14) existing twin
home lots will be combined to form seven (7) new R1S lots for the new subdivision plat to be known as
Ramstad Heights 7th Addition.
The proposed development concept follows the trend set by recent subdivision plats in this area
including; Ramstad Heights Addition and Ramstad Heights 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Additions wherein
existing lots were combined to form larger lots. Combining two of the existing lots into one allows the
proposed lots to meet the reduced minimum width and lot area requirements of the R1S district. The
proposed lots meet the bulk requirements for R1S Zoning. The smaller lot size flexibility offers a more
affordable starter home for empty nesters and young families. Currently, all fourteen (14) lots are
designated “Medium Density Residential” (MDR) on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive
Development Plan. Single-family housing is allowed in this land use category along with two-family or
duplex zoning. The R1S District supports a higher density of development than typical single-family
development. Therefore, staff does not feel the land use map needs to be amended at this time.
The developer has contacted Planning Staff with concerns regarding the requirement for a Development
Agreement as part of the land subdivision process. Staff advised the developer that this is an issue to be
discussed with the Engineering Department. As this item moves forward to the City Council there will be
an opportunity for the developer to discuss his concerns with the Engineering Department prior to the City
Council meeting.

This item is a “cookie-cutter” application to the first item- combining lots to build single-family homes and
rezoning to R1S to take advantage of the smaller lot size standards. In this application, the applicant is
requesting approval to replat and rezone eighteen (18) existing lots described as; Lots 10A thru 18B,
Block 7, Statesboro Addition into nine (9) R1S Lots to be known as Ramstad Heights 8th Addition. The

Chairman DeMakis asked the Principal Planner for staff comments.
Again, this is a very straight-forward application, in this case a lot line adjustment to shift the lot line
between two existing lots, Lots 5A and 5B, Block 4 of The Bluffs 2nd Addition. The two new lots will be
known as Lots 1A and 1B of The Bluffs 13th Addition. These properties are located at 3509 and 3515
Waggle Way.
The two existing lots are under common ownership by the applicant, both of the lots are currently vacant.
The new common lot line is platted to add lot area to proposed Lot 1B such that the two now lots become
more comparable in lot size. The shift in the lot line makes it easier to accommodate the proposed
duplex on the two lots making the amount of square footage for each of the two units more balanced.
The existing common side lot line will be shifted approximately 14.85 feet to the north west as measured
from its existing position along the rear lot line. Proposed Lot 1A will contain approximately 10,165
square feet or 0.23 acres of land while proposed Lot 1B will contain approximately 10,317 square feet or
approximately 0.24 acres. Both of the proposed lots exceed the minimum lot size requirements of 3,500
square feet in R2 zoning by a considerable margin. The location of the new lot lines meets all setback
requirements in R2 zoning bulk regulations.
Both of the properties involved in this subdivision are zoned R2, Two-Family Residential district and shall
remain so. The land use designation on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Development
Plan depicts these properties as “Low Density Residential.” The use of these properties is in
conformance with the land use map designation and it will not be amended.

7 and all of Lot 1, Jack’s 4th Addition to create Lot 1. Lot 2 will consist of the remainder of Lot 6 of Jack’s
3rd Addition, to be known as SRT Addition, Lots 1 & 2, and to pass an ordinance of first reading to annex
Lot 1 in to the City of Minot corporate limits.
This property is located 3615 N. Broadway extending approximately 1,254 lineal feet west along the north

been complied with and that monuments have been placed at all block corners, lot corners, angle
points, points of curves in streets which are depicted in the plat, and at such intermediate points
as may be required.
Chairman DeMakis asked the Principal Planner for staff comments.
The applicant is requesting approval of a new subdivision to create two new lots, Lots 1 and 2 of SRT
Addition from part of Lots 6 and 7, Jack’s Third Addition and all of Lot 1, Jack’s 4th Addition. Lot 1 of the
SRT Addition is going to be annexed into city limits now while Lot 2 will be annexed in at a later date.
These properties are located at 3615 N Broadway and along the north side of 36th Ave NW.
The South 200 feet of Lot 7, Jack’s Third Addition and all of Lot 1 of Jack’s 4th Addition are currently
owned by SRT while the South 323.95’ of Lot 6, Jack’s Third addition is currently owned by William
Papineau. The portion of the subdivision that is currently owned by SRT was previously annexed into the
city while the remainder has not. After the East 668’ of the South 323.95’ of Lot 6, Jack’s Third Addition
has been annexed into city limits it will be combined with Lot 7 of Jack’s Third Addition and Lot 1 of Jack’s
Fourth Addition to form Lot 1 of the SRT Addition. The remainder of the South 323.95’ will form Lot 2 of
the SRT Addition.
Proposed Lot 1 will contain approximately 658,017 square feet or 15.01 acres of land while proposed Lot
2 will contain approximately 377,796 square feet or 8.673 acres. Both of the proposed lots exceed the
minimum lot size requirements of 2 acres within Minot’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction and minimum lot width
of 100’ in C2 zoning by a considerable margin. The location of the new lot lines meets all setback
requirements in C2 zoning bulk regulations.
The existing SRT property currently has a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a 70’ tower and a
communication building that will now apply to the entire new lot, Lot 1 of SRT Addition. All of the
properties involved in this subdivision are zoned General Commercial District and shall remain so. The
land use designation on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Development Plan depicts
these properties as being a varying combination of Commercial, Industrial, Low Density Residential, and

Public/Semipublic. These land use designations need to be amended to “Commercial”, but this
application does not require rezoning. City staff will address the land use issues with the next update to
the Comprehensive Plan.
Access to Lot 8 of Jacks 3rd Addition must be established on the final plat because a subdivision plat
cannot result in any “landlocked” lots.
