U /I TO:p nPlanning Coininission and Council . ^ h I«• /II .. iC A a fi- FROM:Jeanne A. Mabusth, Asst. Zoning Administrator DATE: SUBJECT: December 29, 1978 Steven F, Valek, Tonkaview Lane Subdivision Sketch Plan Review (#449) Zoning District LR-IB. Mr. Valek proposes a division of 12.6 acres into eight lots. Lot 1, Block 1 (originally I^ts 4 and 5 of the Bergquist & Wicklund Addition) with an existing house included in the plat because of its involvement with the plat road (see attached letter from Winton Palmer). Portions of the property are sewered and there is approximately a 1/4 to 1/3 acre wetland within subject property. All lots meet the zoning district requirements. Sewer Extension - The applicant requests extension of sewer service to each of the seven lots. There is a total of two unit charges against original Lots 1, 2 & 3 Bergquist & Wicklund Addition. The request would be for five additional units. Mr. Palmer’s lot is already sewered. The Public Works Director will be asked to determine if existing system could handle the additional units. The Planning Commission must make a recommendation to Council designating approval or disapproval of sewer service to the five additional lots. Applicant is aware that he must pay for entire installation of sewer line through property. Plat Road - The access point for plat road onto Tonkaview Lane will have to be moved further west because proposed access is in an extremely hazardous location. The City engineer and staff will make a final determination and report back to the Commission. Staff recommends a 60' road easement for this eight lot plat because of probable development pressure resulting from the proposed road opening land-locked property to the east and north. Unfortunately, the City does not have a Comprehensive Transportation Plan for reference, but earlier plattings in area reveal networks of unimproved 60' wide road easements that suggest future city involvement (see Exhibit B). We will also ask for a 30' road easement along northern border of property for future extension of Highview Lane. If the Planning Commission does not feel this plat road fits into this network of city roads and services, then the road easement need only be 50*. Wetlands - There is a designated wetland within parcel. The applicant has been advised of the 26' setback requirement. Until we determine the extent of the road easement, there may be a need for a setback variance for road. J
