Date of Application/17/99 <br />Date Complete: 2/17/99 <br />120 day limit: 6/17/99 <br />Engineering Issues <br />The City Engineer has provided a letter addressing several engineering issues such as access, <br />stormwater management, grading and drainage for the previous 3 lot subdivision. He is reviewing <br />the two-lot proposal. <br />Dedication of Right-of-way <br />Access to both lots is from Watertown Road. The south 33' of the parcel should be dedicated as <br />right-of-way on the final plat. <br />Access <br />The City's subdivision ordinance limits the length of a cul-de-sac to 1,000 feet and the nun J .2 of <br />units to be served at 10. Crystal Creek Road was built with a temporary cul-de-sac to serve 11 <br />properties at a length of 1,400 feet. Therefore, this parcel cannot gain access from Crystal Creek <br />Road. Both lots are proposed to have frontage and access from Watertown Road. The Code requires <br />that the 30' portion of the back lot. Lot 1, be platted as an outlot, 30' wide, with a driveway at least <br />10' from v^ither lot line. The side yard adjacent to an access lot standard is 45' rather than 30'. <br />Future access to an additional lot created from the back lot would also be required to be provided <br />from the access outlot. No access from Crystal Creek Road shall be allowed. <br />Cul-de-sacs <br />The subdivision ordinance states that cul-de-sacs shall be discouraged. (Section 11.32, Subd. 2, B. <br />6). Proposed roadways shall be extended to the boundary lines of the tract to be subdivided, unless <br />prevented by topography or other physical conditions or unless in the opinion of the City such <br />extension is not necessary or desirable for the coordination of the layout of the subdivision with the <br />existing layout or the most advantageous future development of future tracts. <br />This parcel is adjacent to the cul-de-sac for Crystal Creek In considering this two lot subdivision, <br />the Planning Commission and City Council should address whether a 50' outlot shall be required <br />across the rear of Lot 1 in order to coordinate the layout of adjacent subdivisions. <br />H2466 Winston/Renckens <br />3020 Watertown Road <br />PC-3/15/99 <br />page-5
