Steve Evans <br /> August 28, 2003 <br /> Page 4 <br /> This area is not provided with municipal sewer. The post-taking lot size of 1.2 acres is <br /> nonconforming.If MnDOT can show that suitable primary and alternate drainfield sites are <br /> available, and that a new home can be constructed meeting all City location requirements, <br /> then a variance for lot area might be granted if applied for.The alternative is to sell this land <br /> to an adjacent property owner as additional yard area. <br /> 365 Old Crvstal Bav Road N. (Developed residential lot) <br /> Legal Description: (metes and bounds) <br /> - Gross area(no wetlands): 9.3 acres <br /> -Approximate area in r-o-w: 2.0 acres <br /> -Net dry area after taking: 7.3 acres <br /> - Existing house has been removed by MnDOT <br /> - Substantial area of topsoil has been removed from site, which may severely limit <br /> the capability for septic systems. <br /> This area is not provided with municipal sewer. The post-taking lot size of 7.3 acres is <br /> conforming. City does not have enough information to know whether 200' lot width will <br /> remain.If MnDOT can show that remaining site has 200'width at 50'front setback line,and <br /> that suitable primary and alternate drainfield sites are available,then this site could be used <br /> for a conforming building site. It is unknown whether the property is subdividable without <br /> additional detailed information. <br /> You also questioned whether the City has an interest in acquiring any of these properties. The City <br /> does have an interest in the 365 Old Crystal Bay Road property, as it would provide access to City <br /> open space parkland immediately west of that properly. This has been discussed in the past with <br /> MnDOT staff. As to the other properties,the City may have an interest in acquiring trail easements <br /> along the south side of the corridor east of Old Crystal Bay Road. I am not aware of the latest <br /> discussions on this, and will attempt to follow up as soon as possible. <br /> Please feel free to contact me at 952-249-4600 if I can be of further assistance. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ��, <br /> Mike Gaffr n <br /> Planning Director <br /> cc: Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />
