The lot <br /> is currently developed as a single residential site with a tennis court, driveway and paved walk to <br /> the lake. The Applicant has indicated that all existing structures and hardcover will be removed <br /> from the property prior to final plat based on subdivision approval,with a new residence being <br /> constructed on Lot 2 and Lots 1 and 3 being available for purchase. <br /> Weinberger stated that a previous applicant had requested a subdivision for this property <br /> previously but had withdrawn his request prior to City Council approval of the final plat. The time <br /> limit has expired on that previous application. <br /> Weinberger remarked that all lots within the LR-1 B zoning district are required to meet a minimum <br /> • of one acre dry buildable and 140 feet of width at the lakeshore. Each proposed lot in this <br /> subdivision does exceed the minimum standards for lot width and size and appears to demonstrate <br /> suitable building sites. The surrounding properties are also zoned LR-1 B. The proposed <br /> subdivision is consistent with the Tonkawa area, and access is proposed off of Tonkawa Road. <br /> Weinberger stated that the property was assessed for three sanitary sewer units in 1976, and all <br /> assessments have been paid. Sanitary sewer to Lots 1 and 2 should be provided from Tonkawa <br /> Road, with the existing sewer on Tonkawa Road east of Lot 1 being extended to the south <br /> approximately 100 to 200 feet to serve Lot 2. Sewer connection for Lot 3 should be extended over <br /> the southwestern portion of the property. <br /> This property is subject to a bluff impact zone, with the bluff line being depicted on the survey. <br /> The existing topography is very steep extending to the lake, and all structures are required to meet <br /> a 30 feet top of bluff setback. No land alteration or construction is allowed within the bluff impact <br /> zone. <br /> Staff is requesting the standard drainage and utility easements along the property line prior to <br /> final plat. <br /> Weinberger stated the newly created lots will need to meet all the zoning district requirements <br /> for developments in the LR-1 B zoning district, and is recommending approval of this application <br /> based on the conditions outlined in the August 9, 1999 Planner's Report. The Applicant will <br /> need to submit a grading and erosion plan for the entire site subject to review and approval by the <br /> City Engineer as well as obtain a permit from Hennepin County Department of Transportation for <br /> the new curb cut and access to Lots 1, 2, and 3. The Applicant is further required to submit plans <br /> • for extension of the sanitary sewer service for review and approval by the City Engineer and Public <br /> 6 <br />
