Brenshell Homes, appeared. <br />Weinberger stated Brenshell Homes has filed a sketch plan to create a four lot subdivision of a <br />6.87 acre parcel located within the LR-1B zoning district. Three of the proposed lots would <br />require variances for lot width and direct access to Wildhurst Trail. A fourth lot with access to a <br />driveway located in the platted but undeveloped Garden Lane is also proposed. All lots meet the <br />minimum one acre requirement as shown. <br />Weinberger stated the major issues relating to this proposed subdivision include a major ravine <br />that intersects the north end of the property. The City will be requesting a drainage easement over <br />this ravine. City Staff will also need to review the proposed building pads in relation to the <br />topography to see whether they are suitable. A major portion of this property drains to the south <br />and east, with some concerns about erosion occurring on the east side of Wildhurst Trail due to <br />stormwater flows. Grading and drainage plans must be submitted to City Staff and to the Minnehaha <br />Creek Watershed District for review and approval. <br />Weinberger stated another issue would relate to whether this should be a private road versus a <br />public road.
