1 <br />Zoning File #1475 <br />January 11, 1990 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />However^ if White's contention that the R.L.S. and <br />subsequent ownerships created "landlocked" lots is correct^ <br />and if it is in the City's best planning interest to have <br />these lots use the existing private road, then absent <br />private easement agreements the City could consider roadway <br />condemnation and charge tha costs back to the benefitting <br />properties. <br />To summarize, the Planning Commission is presented with the <br />following options: <br />a. Approve plat as proposed with outlets for Bayside Ridge <br />Road and Outlet A, access to Lots 2 and 3 via a 30' easement <br />across the White property east of the wetland. <br />b. As (a) above, but require an extension of Outlet A along <br />the north end of Lot 2 so that Lot 3 has a continuous legal <br />outlet access to Bayside Road. <br />c. As in (b) above, but extend Outlet A across the north <br />end of Lot 2 all the way across to Lot 1 as proposed by <br />Hennepin County. <br />d. Recommend approval subject to acquisition condemnation <br />of public road access over the existing private road, force <br />all lots to use "Bayside Ridge Road", keep Outlet A as <br />proposed for Lot 2's access to "Bayside Ridge Road". <br />e. Request that applicant consider some other option. <br />Staff Reconmendation ~ <br />If the Planning Commission can resolve the access issues, <br />staff would recommend approval of the proposed subdivision and <br />lot line rearrangement, finding that each lot exceeds the <br />required 200' in width, each lot has frontage on an acceptable <br />access road or driveway outlot, that each lot contains the <br />required 2 acres of dry buildable land, and each lot has suitable <br />house locations and tested drainfield sites. The following <br />conditions of approval are recommended if one of schemes a, b, or <br />c is chosen: <br />1. Designate Bayside Ridge Road on the plat drawings as an <br />outlot rather than a named road. This outlot road and any <br />other outlets created within the subdivision are intended to <br />remain in private ownership and be privately maintained. <br />(Since under the first three schemes noted above, no <br />additional lots will be created that access to Bayside Ridge <br />Road, it would appear that under current policy, no <br />upgrading of Bayside Ridge Road is required as part of this <br />subdivision.)
