r-' h ‘zoning File #1779 November 6, 1992 Page 3 Judicial Marker at the east corner was removed when the sewer was installed and the City, should have it accurately replaced. City Council Resolution No. 1178 determined that only one sewer unit would be provided to the property, and indicated that a future subdivision would create a 1 acre sewered parcel with the existing house and a 2 acre unsewered lot to the west. The MUSA boundary was later placed (somewhat arbitrarily) to .eflect the directives of that resolution. There is no provision y'iw » • the project area for a direct service stubb for the west h>, the property. Provision of sewer to the west parcel would require a MUSA amendment and Council approval. The connection charge for the Minnetonka Bluffs Project is currently $8,991.00 per unit. The options for physically making such a connection would appear to be either a 300~400' long gravity line through the east lot to the lift station; an extension of the existing line up Barrett Avenue and west along Pox Street (would be extremely deep); or construction of an individual injector station into the MWCC forcemain in Orono Orchard Road (would require MWCC approval, would be expensive). Existing and Proposed Setbacks, Lot 2 Proposed Lot 2 contains an existing house, shed, and garage. The existing garage near Fox Street is intended to be removed. The existing shed technically is nearer the front lot line (Fox Street) than the existing residence. The house is 46.6' from the north lot line where a 50' setback would be required for any new construction • The proposed dividing line leaves the existing house approximately 48' from the side lot line (30' required). The ramifications of widening the right-of-way and providing a cul-de-sac are discussed below. Additional Right-of-Way for Fox Street Recoanended Please review the City Engineer's recommendation (letter dated November 3, 1992). Fox Street is a 30' wide platted corridor, containing a 20' gravel road surface extending approximately 320' eastward from the Orono Orchard Road right-of- way. Pox Street is not developed east of its intersection with undeveloped Barrett Avenue. The City Engineer is recommending that an additional 20' of right-of-way be granted from the Goetten property in addition to a cul-de-sac located mostly within the Goetten property. He is further recommending that the abutting and neighboring property owners who gain access from Fox Street (which is currently
