File #2340 February 3,1998 Page 4 Total area of 75-250' zones in Lot 2 = 532 sf + 12,248 sf = 12,780 sf 25%=3,195 sf Proposed hardcover in 75-250’ zones = 900 sf Excess a\ailable allowance = 3,195 sf - 900 sf = 2,295 sf (Credit to 250-500' zone) Total area of 250-500' zone in Lot 2 = 9,000 sf 30% = 2,700 sf Add credit from 75-250' zone: 2,700 sf + 2,295 sf = 4,995 sf Proposed 250-500’ hardcover = 4,500 sf, which is less than 4,995 sf, hence the proposal should be considered as meeting the intent of the hardcover ordinance. Outlot B meets the 30' width requirement; however, use of Outlot B to serve as access to all three units does not meet code standards as noted above. At least one of the units must have its access other than Outlot B or a variance would be necessary. Outlot A is being platted as a private road. Outlot A currently contains a narrow gravel driveway serving three residences to the east of this site, plus the garage for the adjacent house directly east of Outlot A. The City Engineer has correctly noted that the City's road standard applicable to Outlot A is a 24' paved width for up to seven units. Since applicant does not control the remaining properties which would be served by the road, it may be unreasonable to force him to create a cul-de- sac, but it is reasonable in staffs opinion to require that a 24' paved road be constructed the length of Outlot A, and at the north end connect to the existing private driveway system. Hermepin County Public Works viewed the proposed private road access location with staff in January. The hill along North Shore Drive needs to be cut down to provide adequate sight distance. This excavation would occur potentially within the County road right-of-way and within Lot 2, and is the responsibility of the developer. Hennepin County's written comments had not been received as of this writing. General Comments and Issues 1.No grading or drainage plans for the site has been submitted, but is required. The City Engineer has asked for stormw'ater ponding for this site, although MC WD has considered it to be exempt due to the size of the site 2.Both proposed buildings appear to avoid existing sewer lines by at least 15'. The survey must show all utility easements of record; no easement are showTi on the current preliminary plat drawing.
