Zoning File #2355 <br />April 13,1998 <br />Page 2 <br />Brief History of Property <br />Please review Exhibit L for an overview of the historj of this property ’ as regards its zoning, <br />development, and acquisition by public bodies for roadways. <br />In 1980, the City' condemned a diagonal corridor for McCulIey Road through the 16.5 acres south <br />of County Road 6, which could have been subdivided into three 5+ acre lots prior to the <br />condemnation. As a result of the condemnation proceedings, the 16.5 acres was segmented into a <br />5+ acre portion located west of the intersection, and an 8+ acre portion located between McCulley <br />Road and Tumham Road. The City ultimately agreed to the conditions established by the <br />condemnation commission which required that the 8 acre parcel be allowed to be split into two 4 <br />acre parcels in the future (Exhibit F). <br />Currently, the 8 acre portion of the property is being reduced by 2 acres in order to accommodate <br />a relocated connection between Watertow'n Road and McCulley Road. The County has acquired a <br />road easement over 2 of the 8 acres, functionally leaving a 6 acre parcel. This easement is not <br />reflected in the subdivision proposal submitted by the applicant, since it was only formalized within <br />the last tw'o weeks. <br />Impacts of Current Right-of-Way Acquisition <br />The County Road 6 improvements occurring this year result in the need for Hennepin County to <br />acquire additional right-of-way, which impacts the proposed plat as follows: <br />Lot 1, Block 1 as proposed will not be affected. <br />Lot 1, Block 2 will lose approximately 0.13 acre according to staff calculation, <br />reducing it to about 5.09 acres. <br />The 8 acre parcel proposed to become Lots 1 and 2, Block 3, will lose about 2.09 <br />acres per staff calculation, reducing it to about 6.05 acres. <br />Lot 1, Block 3 as proposed will lose one of the two drainfield sites identified by <br />applicant’s site evaluator. Further, once the 100' street yard and side street yard <br />setbacks as well as septic system setbacks are accommodated, there is virtually no <br />buildable envelope left. This proposed lot is reduced to 2.06 acres in area. <br />Lot 2, Block 3 as proposed will be slightly reduced in area from 4.07 acres to 3.99 <br />acres, and the buildable envelope is slightly reduced due to the 100' required setback <br />firom the new roadway.
