AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: DJR Approved By DJR <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this item is consider a sketch plan prepared for 1003 Wildhurst, and to <br />provide non-binding feedback to the applicant and property owner. <br /> <br />2. Background. The City has received a sketch plan that proposes the consolidation of 4 lots privately <br />held by Chris Morgart and adjacent rights-of way, to be subdivided into 8 single family lots. The 4 lots to <br />the west (Lots 1-4) of a proposed expansion of Wildhurst Trail are zoned RR-1B and require a minimum <br />2 acre area and 200 feet width. The 4 lots (lots 5-8) to the east are zoned LR-1B, and require minimum 1 <br />acre, 140 feet width. <br /> <br /> <br />Note: Figures in red are non-conforming. Lot sizes may fluctuate, based on wetland delineation, slopes <br />greater than 18%, and bluffs, which are not included in the minimum lot area. <br /> <br />Access to the site will be via the extension of Wildhurst Trail, a public street. The plan shows a cul de sac <br />at the northern terminus of Wildhurst. The eastern 4 lots are within the MUSA boundary, and therefore <br />have access to sanitary sewer. The lots to the west are not. To be served by sanitary sewer, the MUSA <br />boundary will need to be adjusted. <br /> <br />The developer has indicated they have developed a plan to follow zoning requirements as closely as <br />practical, though some flexibility is requested: These main policy questions identified are: <br />a. Vacation of Right of Way. There are several platted rights of way for streets and alleys that are <br />proposed to be vacated. Does the Council find vacation of rights of way desirable? <br />b. Lot width flexibility. The Plan shows the 4 western lots to be less than the 200 feet of width <br />required by the Zoning Code. Does the Council support flexibility in the lot width for these <br />parcels, currently showing widths of 156.75 feet or 157.42 feet? The western lots appear to <br />exceed the minimum 2 acre area. <br />c. Lot width flexibility. The plan shows the 4 lots to the east of Wildhurst to be between 120-245 <br />feet in width, measured at the street. Lot 7 touches Forest Lake, thereby establishing that lot as a <br />lake lot. Lot frontage is measured at the OHWL and 75 feet back. The property contains only 90 <br />feet of Lakeshore frontage. It does not seem possible to achieve the lake frontage requirement <br />without expanding the Lake. Aside from the Lake frontage requirement, does the Council <br />support lot width flexibility for the remaining lots? <br /> <br />The Planning Commission staff report, included as Exhibit B, provides additional information. <br /> <br /> <br />Width Area MUSA Width Area MUSA <br />Lot 1 156.75 2.33 No Lot 5 124.74 1.07 Yes <br />Lot 2 156.75 2.31 No Lot 6 120 1.01 Yes <br />Lot 3 156.75 2.3 No Lot 7 145 1.00 Yes <br />Lot 4 157.42 2.26 No Lot 8 245 1.01 Yes <br />RR-1B (200 feet width, 2 acres)LR-1B (140 feet width, 1 acre) <br />Item No.: 13 Date: October 8, 2018 <br />Item Description: LA18-000065 – Jim Koch o/b/o Christopher Morgart, 1003 <br />Wildhurst Trail, Sketch Plan <br />Presenter: Jeremy Barnhart, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br />Agenda <br />Section: <br />Planning Department <br />Report
