r » Zoning File #2355 April 13,1998 Page 3 The current County right-of-way acquisition obviously has the greatest impact on the development potential of the southeasterly 8 acres. Reducing it to 6 acres in a 5-acre zone and leaving Lot 1, Block 3 without a second drainfield site, makes it impossible to meet City standards for creation of two conforming lots from this portion of the property. The solution that staff has concluded is most appropriate, is to acknowledge the apparent loss of a building site, and allow the platting of a single 6 acre lot from what remains of the 8 acre parcel. The County reached the same conclusions in determining the value of the 2-acre easement acquisition. Although approximately 0.13 acre will be lost to right-of-way in Lot 1, Block 2, the area of Lot 1, Block 2 will remain at 5.07 acres. The wetland delineated by applicant’s consultant is not protected on the City’s inventory, and would therefore be creditable towards dry buildable acreage per City policy. This wetland would, however, be subject to a covenant warning the property owner of the need for permits from other agencies before impacting that wetland. Septic Systems Please review Steve Weckman's comments (Exhibit H). Each proposed lot has primary and alternate drainfield sites available. The existing residence has a nonconforming system which would have to be replaced by the end of 2007 under current code. The alternate sites for the existing residence are slightly limited and would require either a variance or driveway relocation if the house was expanded beyond its current 3-bcdroom status. As noted above, the northwesterly site for Lot 1, Block 3 will be eliminated by road construction. Dry Buildable Acreage for Lot 1, Block 1 The submitted wetland report does not purport to exactly define the boundary of the wetland for proposed Lot 1, Block 1, but is an estimate of the approximate boundary. Staff has calculated the dry buildable area of Lot 1, Block las 4.77 acres based on the submitted survey ^d approximate boundary. The zoning code requires that building lots in the RR-IA zone contain 5 acres of dry buildable land. Applicant’s wetland consultant must confirm the boundary of the wetland and applicant s surveyor must determine whether Lot 1, Block 1 contains the required 5 acres of dry buildable land. If not. Planning Commission should consider whether any of the following options is appropriate: 1. Can applicant acquire additional land from a neighboring property? 2. Should area within Lot 1, Block 2 be credited toward Lot 1, Block 1 via an outlot with Special Lot Combination across the road? If this results in Lot 1, Block 2,
