Zoning File #2279 August 14,1997 Page 3 Access to Lot 3 with the existing ’"luse is proposed to continue via the existing driveway which is partially located on an easement on the adjacent neighboring property to the east. An option for access to Lot 3 would be relocation of the driveway to extend along the east from Outlot A. as shown on the grading plan. Lot 3 has 79' of frontage on Outlot A. The applicant would prefer not to change the location of the driveway. Lot 4 could be accessed via Outlot A. via existing Lyman Avenue, or via Outlot B, depending upon orientation of the house, and limited by septic system needs and steep topography. The grading plan proposes a narrow driveway exiting to Outlot A just north of the curve. This driveway access location begs the question of upgrading Lyman Avenue to handle the additional traffic created bv this subdivision. m Lot Width: Based on the proposed layout, all 4 Lots abut a private or public road. As measured per code requirements at the 50' front setback: Lot 1 has a defined lot width of approximately 160' Lot 2 has a defined lot width of approximately 130' Lot 3 has a defined lot w idth of approximately 140' Lot 4 has a defined lot width in excess of the required 200' Lots 1,2 and 3 require a lot width variance. On-Site Sewage Treatment. Septic system site evaluation was provided in 1990 for a 4-lot proposal which never went forward. The currently proposed subdivision shov\3 2 proposed drainfield sites in each of Lots 1 and 2. a replacement site for the existing conforming mound system in Lot 3, and only one proposed drainfield site in Lot 4. Revised site evaluation information has not been provided to coincide with the significantly revised orientation and shape of the proposed drainfield sites in each of the properties, as compared to the 1990 testing. This application must be considered as incomplete until new updated testing information has been provided that coincides with the proposed sites, or until the plans have been revised per the existing testing. Applicant has confirmed that no alternate drainfield site exists for Lot 4, and is requesting City consideration for platting Lot 4 subject to a co\ enant restricting its use as a building site until/unless it is ser\ ed by sewer at some time in the future. Comment 14 of the applicants' "general notes" o i the preliminary plat drawings, suggests anticipation that public sanitary sewer will ab-i Lot 4 on Lyman Avenue around 1999. Although staff has discussed the potential for sewer in this area and the recent MUSA amendment to include properties to the south and southwest within the MUSA, it remains the City's policy not to extend municipal sewer to provide for new development in the rural area. This lot would not qualify for one of the 50 "floating" connections available to the City, because it does not meet the three criteria for sewering outside the MUSA, i.e. adjacency to municipal sewer; an existing failing system; and no alternatives for replacing that system.
