ZoT^ing File #1007 <br />February 1, 1986 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />From a future planning standpoint, there are two areas of proposed Lot <br />2 for which the City will require either a road and utilities easement or <br />dedication. During the initial review in 1980, it was determined that a <br />corridor along the east boundary of this division, to connect with <br />undeveloped Highview Lane to the south, would not be a good location for a <br />through road due to 1) poor sight distance at the driveway entrance to West <br />Branch Road; and 2) too close to County Road 19. The better possibilities <br />are to extend Garden Lane or Highview Lane northward further east, and/or <br />continue Highview Lane bacft. to the south through the "Valek” property. <br />However, with the potential that the existing driveway will serve a third <br />house, namely for the adjacent Lot 2 of "West Branch Hill", we will require <br />that a road and utilities easement 25' wide be granted over the 25' wide <br />portion of Trapp's Lot 2. Coupled with an existing 25' R & I easement over <br />the west 25' of West Branch Hill, a 50' corridor would exist in which to <br />upgrade the driveway to serve the 3 properties at some point in the future. <br />We also will require a 30' road dedication over the south 30' of Lot 2 <br />for future Highview Lane purposes. Note that the 40' to be dedicated for <br />West Branch Road meets with all City and County requirements. <br />The proposed lots are unsewered and have been tested for primary and <br />alternate drainfield sites. Proposed Lot 2 has suitable sites for a <br />shallow trench drainfield on the primary site, and a mound system at the <br />alternate site. Proposed Lot 1, with the existing house, has a suitable <br />site for a future mound system. Note that the existing house had a new <br />trench-type drainfield system installed in 1984, and it is functioning <br />correctly. <br />With the exception of the horse barn location, the proposed sub­ <br />division meets all City requirements for a 2-lot rural plat, and could be <br />developed for single family residential use without variances. Staff <br />recommends approval per the following conditions: <br />1. Flowage and Conservation Easement to be granted over the wetlands. <br />2. Variance for animal barn of 80' from Lot 2 property line - hard­ <br />ships : <br />a) location of existing fencing along east-west property line <br />b) animal barn was located 130' from existing east property <br />line. <br />3. Dedication of right-of-way for West Branch Road of 40'; dedication <br />of future right-of-way for Highview Lane of 30' along the south <br />property line (not shown on preliminary plat); granting of a road and <br />utilities easement over the portion of Lot 2 that is 25' wide. <br />4. Lot 2 to grant access easement to Lot 1 over existing driveway <br />This shall remain as a shared driveway access. <br />5. Park Dedication Fee for Lot 2 of $100.
