This application <br />request is for the purpose of allowing Minnkota Power Cooperative, Inc. to purchase the subject property and <br />develop the site to construct an electrical substation that would replace the existing electrical substation directly <br />north of the subject property across County Road 6. The applicant submitted a minor subdivision application in <br />October 2018 for the same purpose, however reconsidered the development proposal to request a variance which <br />requires the variance application to be submitted concurrently with a new minor subdivision application. <br /> <br />The proposed tract encompasses approximately two (2) acres of land and Minnkota Power Cooperative, Inc. <br />would maintain responsibility of the subdivision. The subdivision will use county road access and will not have a <br />waste water treatment system, utilize storm sewers, or rural water. <br /> <br /> <br />Agenda Item No. F.1
