r Driveway Acccss/Oullot A: The City Fire Marshal and Long Lake Fire Department are reviewing the individual access for each lot. The Fire Marshal and Fire Department are being asked to comment on the driveway length/width and ability to turn emergency vehicles on each lot. It is likely that a circular driveway will be required for each lot. A detailed grading plan and driveway construction plan will require further engineering review. The City Engineer has recommended each driveway be designed to not exceed a 10% grade. Outlot A would be commonly owned as an access outlot for the driveway. The City’s front lot/back lot standards require a minimum width of access outlets to be 30’ to accommodate drainage, snow removal and screening without encroaching on neighboring properties. Outlot A is 110 ’ wide meeting the 30’ requirement. Staff does not believe additional screening to the driveway will be required since the property is heavily wooded. Some existing trees will be required to be removed to accommodate a wider road surface and grading improvements to reduce driveway slope. Easements and Covenants: 1 . Standard drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated on the final plat 10 ’ along the exterior property lines. Ten-foot drainage and utility easements along the . A drainage and utility easement 5 ’ either side of the boundary between Outlot A and Lot 12 shall be granted. 2. The delineated wetland in the north and west quadrant of Lot 1 shall be subject to a protective covenant filed in the chain of title of the affected property, as an advisory to property owner and future owners that said wetland is subject to WCA regulation and/or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction. 3. Covenants shall be filed on the chain of title for each lot as an advisory to future property owners that a primary and secondary drainfield site exist on the property and are protected. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat and a wetland alteration variance for the shared driveway based on the following findings: 1. 2. 3. The layout of the lots meets the Zoning Code requirements for a fronl1)ack lot subdivision. The proposed use of the land is consistent w ith the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The variance for the wetland crossing is justified based on the fact the w etland crossing is required for access and the access minimizes impact on the wetland and buffer area. 4. Each lot has demonstrated two septic sites for each lot meeting local and state standards. ; trp #02-2139 Bo)cr Building Corp 3320 Watertown Road SiMhilioo Odote 11,2002 Ri«e3or4
