. <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATS: <br />Planning Commission <br />Jeanne A. Mabusth <br />June 17, 1982 <br />SUBJECT: #685 Charles V. Krogness, 185 South Brown Road <br />Subdivision <br />Zoning District - RR-IB <br />Application - plat - 2 lots <br />Area - 8 acres <br />Review - Work Session <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A <br />Exhibit B <br />Exhibit C <br />Exhibit O <br />Exhibit E <br />Application <br />Plat Map <br />Septic Report <br />Septic Map <br />Preliminary Plan <br />The applicant proposes a 2 lot plat of his 8 acre homestead. <br />Mr. Krogness plans to construct a new home on Lot 1 and sell <br />the existing nome on Lot 2. The newly created lots satisfy <br />all standards of the RR-IB zoning district. All existing <br />structures, except for a playhouse on Lot 2, meet the required <br />setbacks from the proposed division line. <br />Access via the location at the 40* corridor at Brown Road is <br />not acceptable. This access will be subject to review by <br />Hennepin County and that report should be received by the night <br />of our public hearing. I «K>uld suggest a shared access at the <br />existing driveway to Lot 2. Lot 2 can grant an exclusive access <br />easement in favor of Lot 1. Access via the 40* corridor is limited <br />by a steep slope, power pole, proximity to bridge over Luce <br />Line and a heavy buffer of mature trees. The access question <br />is similar to the concerns expressed by the Planning Commission <br />and Council during the subdivision review for Bob Vfhite*s 2 lot <br />plat. In that application, the City required portions of one lot <br />to abutt the public road but required access to that same lot <br />via a safer existing driveway on the other lot. <br />The septic review found Lot 1 able to support a standard septic <br />system (shallow trench design recommended). Our site inspection <br />found Lot 2 with more serious problems. Portions of the existing <br />drainfield appear to extend 10* to 20* into Lot 1. The proposed <br />new home for Lot 1 will be located or rather squeezed into the <br />east high corner of the lot dangerously close to the existing <br />septic line. Rearranging the lot line will not help the applicant <br />as it will do away with his potential house location. The septic <br />consultant is wary of merely closing off the encroaching septic <br />lines 10* from the lot line because the soil disturbance may create <br />a seepage point if lines fill up. He also is cautious of the <br />nearness of those existing lines to potential run off from the <br />new home and the usual disturbance of lands associated with <br />construction.
