The c.xisting lot was platted as part of the Und'crhil' Farms Addition in 1976. A pond is <br />located on the property located on what would be the southern lot, with a flowage and <br />conservation casement being granted at the time the Underhill Farms Addition was recorded. <br />Weinberger stated Lot 1 would be the nc.\t building site and would meet the minimum lot size <br />and width for lots in the RR-IB Zoning District. Based on the survey submitted, the building <br />pad is located within the required setbacks and all setbacks arc met to the drainficld sites. This <br />lot w'ould share a drivewav with Lot 2, with an casement being granted in favor of Lot 2 for• * <br />access over Lot 1. Using the existing driveway would eliminate the need to cut down any trees <br />and works w ell with the existing house. Relocation of the driveway would result in the driveway <br />completely circling the house and come close to encroaching into the wetland setback area.. <br />Weinberger noted there is an existing storage building that would be located on Lot 1 w ithout a <br />principal building. Weinberger suggested the building remain for a defined length of time before <br />the principal building is constructed on the property or if the ow nership changes between Lot 1 <br />and Lot 2. <br />Weinberger stated Lot 2 would not have direct access to Tamarack nor to County Road 6. The <br />property ow ners would prefer to use the existing driveway located on Lot 2. Lot 2 also meets the <br />minimum requirements for subdivision. Hennepin County may have additional requirements for <br />that portion of property located along Count\' Road 6. Weinberger noted according to the survey <br />PAGE 11
