To:Planning Commission From:Michael P. GaCfron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Date:March 12, 1985 Subject: #895 Thomas Crosby, Jr., 1240-1260 Brackett's Point Road Subdivision of a Lot Line Rearrangement Zoning District - I.R-IA, 2 Acre Lakeshore Residc'ntial Unsewered Application - Lot line rearrangement between existing property with house and adjacent vacant land. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application & Transmittal Letter Exhibit B - Property Owners List and Plat Map Exhibit C - Survey Exhibit Dl, D2, D3 - Plat Maps V^ith Proposed Realignment Exhibit E - Elevations, Pillsbury Lot Exhibit F - Drainfield Site Locations, Pillsbury Lot The applicant is requesting approval of a lot line rearrangement on Brackett ’s Point. The involved properties include the 0.92 acre Crosby lot with existing house, and the vacant Pillsbury property consisting of 3 parcels totaling 2.01 acres. The proposal would result in an increase in size of the Crosby lot to 1.15 acres and reduction of the Pillsbury lot to 1.78 acres. Both the properties arc relatively low, mostly loss than 5' above lake level. The existing septic system for the Crosby house was inspected in Fall 1984 and appears to be quite functional. A new water softener discharge drainfield was added last fall. Because of the low elevations, Mr. Pillsbury did have septic testing done on the south end of his vacant property. A specially designed "mound” drainfield system would be required in order to meet current codes if a now house is ever constructed. In addition, por tions of the southwesterly quadrant of this lot are below elevation 931.5, or within the protected Flood Fringe District, hence any fil ling or grading in this area would be subject to a CUP, and MCKD and DNR review. The low area does not continue to the lakeshore, and will need some study to determine whether filling would be detrimental. Based on the drainfield site locations and the low land at the site, the subdivision does slightly decrease the possible building envelope for the Pillsbury lot. Note, however, that a lino of existing trees near the north end of the lot does seem to move the logical house site further to the south. In addition, the subdivision does decrease this lot to under two acres, so that any future proposal to build on it will also require a lot area variance. Mr. Pillsbury should be made aware of this now to avoid any future surprises. i
