The applicant is requesting preliminary approval <br />based on the previous information on file. <br />This is a 2 lot plat. Lot 1 contains the existing residence and barn, <br />and includes a wetland which discharges eastward through a culvert under <br />the existing driveway. Note that the driveway is proposed to be included <br />as part of Lot 2 and will be shared by Lots 1 and 2. This is an existing <br />driveway entrance and the County Highway Department has noted no problem <br />with it at a 2-unit level of use. <br />City Engineer, Glenn Cook, reviewed the existing 48" culvert in 1980 <br />and found it to be adequate for continued use. <br />The existing house on Lot 1 meets all required setbacks. The barn, <br />which is used for horses, is proposed to be located 70' from the new <br />eastern boundary of Lot 1 based on the existing fence location in that <br />area, also noting that the barn is 130' from the original side lot line. <br />This would require a variance of 80' to the 150' standard for horse barns. <br />Because any buyer of Lot 2 will be aware of the horse barn location, staff <br />recommends approval and formal recognition of this variance.
