M4-2989 3 March 2004 Paga3 of 4 Rear Yard Setback 100’500’ +500’+ Surrounding Development The preliminary plat is surrounded by RR-IA, five acre minimum residential pro]^rty in all directions. Independence is to the west across Townline Road, and single hunily RR- 1A lots surround the property- on all sid«s. Lot Layout and Standards Two side-by-side lots are proposed to be served off an existing driveway which will be shared. The applicant has requested the variance for lot width as opposed to proposing a front lot/back lot configuration due to the topography and wetlands located to the rear of the property and at the NW comer. The plan in Exhibit B shows the required setbacks and primary and alternate septic locations. The applicants have shown that an adequate house can placed on these lots and staff is satisfied with the lot layouts as proposed. The lots meet all required lot standards as shown in the tables above. City Septic Inspector has submitted written comments regarding the locations of the septic sites and the applicant will be required to meet all recommendations of the City Engineer and the Septic Inspector prior to City Council review. Road Layout and Standards The applicant has proposed to use the existing driveway along the north boundary of the proposed Lot 2 (labeled as Tract B) for both lots. A driveway easement is required to be provided over the existing driveway for access to the northerly lot. Required Easements The applicant must dedicate the following easements: • Conservation and Flowage Easements over all delineated wetlands, ponding areas, and drainage ways. • Driveway Easement over the entire existing driveway. • Standard drainage and utility easements around all lot boundaries. This consists of 10’ around the plat boundary lot lines and S* on the interior lot lines. Storm Water, Drainage, and Erosion Control The applicant has contacted the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and has not yet received their comments. For final plat approval the applicant will be required to comply with MCWD recommendations. The subdivision is subject to the Storm Water and Drainage Trunk Fee established by City Ordinance. The fee is established at S2,160 per acre, with a cap of 7.0 acres to be charged per lot. For this property, two lots are being created: Lot 1 at 5.98 gross acres would be charged a fee of 5.98 acres x $2,160 = $12,917. Lot 2 at 7.33 gross acres would be charged a fee of 7.0 acres x $2,160 = $15,120.
