r :-V L r 3 t- rr t'y--•.‘/i •.v7^ J »*«•«»»« wo I property for several years as Hurd aerial surveys show. The Keeslings (owners of a home on a 50'loti lot 19) have a few feet of the road now on their property. Wendy Sterling (owner of a 50' lot plus portions of lot 21) stated that we have no easment across her property. I stated that was not the case and she was fully aware of the easement which is recorded against her property and is an attached Exhibit A for your reading with this sketch plan. Hie Keeslings and Wendy stated they would not give an easement. I have an easement across lot 20 and if I steer a little to the left I don't touch the Keeslings foot or so. Please note that Wendy must trespass (if they want to use that word) onto my property (lot 21) to get out of her garage. I searched the Torrens Certificates and The Sterlings and Keeslings do not have a recorded easement to cross lot 17 & 18. However/ in consulting Robert Mitchell from the Linquist-Vennum law firm/ he feels access is not the problem. The public use of said property for more than 15 years allows access. In addition the City has maintained winter snow removal up to and through lot 20 for more than 6 years thereby meiking that portion a public street. As you can see by the survey/ I have a nonexclusive driveway easement for the rest. If the City must condemn the necessary land so be it. To minimize environmental impact and hardcover/ I am proposing a 50' surfaced cul de sac with 100' right of way as indicated on the sketch plan and a 16' hard surfaced private drive following basically the same path as the existing road (which is partially hard surfaced already). The position of the cul de sac will provide a greater road distance from Wendy Sterling's property. Entrance enhancements and gates will be constructed as to City approval. Hie issue of the access road hardcover was accepted by the Planning Commission previously. Water run off from the road will be collected into a drainage pipe and directed to a holding pond. I called John Gairhartson (sp) to inquire on the depth of the sewer manhole nearest the project (lot 20 la hooked to the sewer). He stated the depth to be 4 1/2 feet/ so a lift station will be necessary to provide waste disposal from the sites. With sewer being brought out to the point/ the existing home (lot 30) will now have sewer available and should share in the expense of providing such. Sewer and other utilities access will come along the southwest shoreline side of the porperty to avoid damage to the root system of the large trees along the road area. Environmentaly/ great care is to be taken to preserve the natural setting that makes this site desireable. At Jeanne Mabusth's suggestion/ other than existing/ only a 50' strip of grass will be allowed arouxxl the home site. The shoreline vegetation will remain intact. Dockage will be along the norhteast shore with three private docks positioned along the 400'shoreline. The homeowners associatin for this project will be jointly responsible for maintainer.ee and upkeep. Hie large outlet A includes the road and open space areas from the cul de sac cn up to the first homesite. Ihe out-lot would be kept natural and as is (minus brush arx3 debris presently onsite.) Hie site name of "San De Mar" stands for sand and marsh representing the substantial sandhill/ sandy shoreline and the marsh like area. Hie marsh area is not a dedicated marsh area as far as the DNR is concerned/ however it will be maintained as such. Land contours will not be altered as in the Marco Franklin proposal, we will build on slabs for site one and two and excavate for a basemente for site three/ leavinct all other A.
