File #2340 March 13, 1998 Page 4 Area of 75-250' zone in Lot 2 = 12,915 sf 25%=3,229 sf Proposed hardcover in 75-250' zones = 1,830 sf Excess available allowance = 3,229 sf - 1,830 sf = 1,399 sf (Credit to 250-500' zone) Total area of 250-500' zone in Lot 2 = 8,865 sf 30% = 2,660 sf Add credit from 75-250' zone: 2,660 sf + 1,399 sf = 4,059 sf Proposed 250-500' hardcover = 3,970 sf, which is less than 4,059 sf, hence the proposal should be considered as meeting the intent of the hardcover ordinance. Outlot B does not meet the 30' w idth requirement and requires a variance, and use of Outlet 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 necessar)'. Outlot A is being platted as a 40' private road outlot, requiring a variance to the road width standard, but containing a 24' paved road which does meet the paved width standard. Outlot A currently contains a narrow^ gravel driveway seizing three residences to the east of this site, plus the garage for the adjacent house directly east of Outlot A. Since applicant does not control the remaining properties which w ould 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. Outlot C is being provided at the request of Hennepin County Public Works for needed sight distance improvements and added right-of-way at this location. The hill along North Shore Drive needs to be cut down to provide adequate sight distance. This excavation would be the responsibility of the developer. General Comments and Issues 1.Both proposed buildings appear to avoid existing sewer lines by at least 15'. The survey must show all utility easements of record; no existing easements are shown on the current preliminary plat drawing. 3.This group of four properties previously contained a total of three residences and was fully assessed for municipal sewer in 1963-64. No additional connection charges are required. The property has three SAC units credited from demolition of the pre-existing homes, hence no SAC charges will be required. Existing sewer stubs are available to serve all three proposed units. The site will be served with private wells.
