• <br /> €1, <br /> To: Chair McCutcheon and Planning Commission Members <br /> Adam Edwards, City Administrator yFrom: Laura Oakden, Interim Community DevelopmentkESHO ` <br /> Director <br /> Date: June 21, 2022 <br /> Subject: #LA22-000027,Amy Swanson,4025 4025 Watertown Rd, <br /> Sketch Plan <br /> Application Summary: The applicant is requesting sketch plan review on a proposed <br /> subdivision that would subdivide a parcel into a front lot/back lot subdivision. <br /> Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff requests non-binding feedback from the <br /> planning commission. Planning Staff does not support the lot split as non-conforming lots <br /> would be created, inconsistent with the zoning code and the comprehensive plan for the area. <br /> Background <br /> The property is unplatted and roughly 13.07 total acres and roughly 270'wide at Watertown <br /> Road based on Hennepin County information.The property is in the RR-1A zoning district which <br /> • requires 5 acres and 300' of lot width. The current property is substandard to the district due to <br /> the lot width.The area is served by well and septic. There is also potential wetlands on the <br /> property per Hennepin county maps. In areas not served by sanitary sewer, each lot much <br /> contain 2 acres f dry contagious buildable land. Any wetland areas are not counted toward the <br /> required dry-buildable acres for the creation of new lots. As this is a sketch plan, No wetland <br /> delineation has been completed on the property, nor have two septic sites for each lot been <br /> verified. <br /> Application <br /> The applicant is looking for feedback on the proposed application. <br /> The applicant's propose to split the current parcel with an existing home into a front lot and a <br /> back lot. The front lot would front on Watertown Rd. Lot width is measured at the front <br /> building setback line. The back lot would have street access from a shared driveway established <br /> in an outlot. The back lot is required to meet 150% lot area standards which would require 7.5 <br /> acres. Each lot would have its own septic and well.The proposed use of the property is <br /> anticipated to be single family residential. <br /> The table below summarizes the proposed lot area and width, and shows the required <br /> standards, including setbacks. Items in red denote non-conforming standards. <br /> Area (5 Acre Lot Width (300' Meets <br /> Required) Required) Requirements <br /> Existing Lot 13.07 270' No <br /> • Proposed Front Lot 3.65 240' No <br />
