(Recess taken from 8:58 - 9:05 p.m.) SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING - 8:00 P.M. (89) 802-2788 BRAD AND CAROL PASS, 250 NORTH SHORE DRIVE WEST, PRELIMINARY PLAT 9:05 p.m.- 9:42 p.m. Brad and Carol Pass, Applicants, were present. Weinberger explained that the applicants have applied for a preliminary plat of the 14 acre property at 250 North Shore Drive West allowing it to be divided into two building sites, shared driveway, and conservation outlot. >Miile the property owners own 20.5 acres immediately east of the property, for a total of 34.5 acres, if the potential exists for future development a right of way should be considered. The general site plan meets all requirements for a front lot/back lot subdivision. Weinberger continued that the shared driveway also meets the minimum requirements. He added that outlot B is planned to be part of a much larger conservation easement area that will be dedicated to the Hennepin Conservation District. The Hennepin Conservation District would maintain and manage the conservation area. While Hennepin County has requested a land dedication totaling 60’ from the center line of C.R. 19, the City has not always required the land dedication for additional right of way. In fact, Weinberger explained, that no other areas along this right of way are dedicated more than 33’, and this might infringe on the current wetland area. Weinberger stated that a variance is required to permit land alteration in a designated wetland for driveway construction. Dave Zetterstrom, Entrance Permit Coordinator for Hennepin County, has reviewed the plans and noted in his letter dated May 21,2002 that the proposed driveway entrance if the only location along the roadway frontage where access can be permitted for the property.
