The property is located in the 2 acre zone and will result in two <br />buildable lots. The existing former homestead buildings within proposed Outlet A are to be <br />removed. The 2-lot subdivision is a front^ack split, hence the back lot meets the 150% (3- <br />acre) area requirement. Both lots meet or exceed the standards of the Zoning and <br />Subdivision Codes for such a division. Both lots are provided access off Watertown Road <br />via Outlot A. <br />Wetland Variance Required: <br />Outlot A will be commonly owned as an access outlot for the shared driveway. The City’s <br />front lot/back lot standards require a minimum 30’ width for access outlets to accommodate <br />drainage, snow removal and screening without encroaching on neighboring properties. <br />Outlot A is 110’ wide, meeting the 30’ requirement. <br />The surveyed area on the preliminary plat drawing reflects the recent wetland delineation. <br />Each of Lots 1 and 2 and Outlot A contain City-protected wetlands, which are also subject to <br />Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) regulations. There is an existing access driveway within <br />Outlot A that is intended to serve Lots 1 and 2. Air photos indicate this access has crossed <br />through a portion of wetlands on the property for many years. The Fire Code requires a <br />minimum 20’ driveway access, including the portion that crosses the wetland. It is staffs <br />understanding that the driveway has had additional gravel placed on it within the past year.
