The City normally does not accept such easements for access across a property, but requires them to be platted as outlots (Section 11.31 Subd. 5). Also, the location of that private driveway in Lot 9 leaves little room between the driveway and the proposed septic system sites for house construction. The driveway should be an outlot. It should be relocated through a different portion of Lot 9. Lot 9 should contain 2 acres all on one side of the driveway, not split by it. Although these are 2 acre lots in 1 acre zone, their use of septic systems suggest that they should probably be developed to meet all of the 2 acre zone standards. The proposed driveway from the westerly cul-de-sac to Lots 9 and 10 extends over Lots 8 and 11. Again that driveway easement should be an outlot. The area of the outlot must be excluded from the attributable areas of Lots 8 and 11. Lots 4 and 7 contain a stormwater basin, and easements to accommodate that pond appear to have been correctly excluded from the net areas of Lots 4 and 7. The stormwater pond appears to be in the location that would take most of the natural drainage, and appears to be appropriately located. Please review the City Engineer's comments regarding drainage. The City will require its standard 10 ’ perimeter and 5’ interior lot line drainage and utility easements. Sheet 3 of 5 indicates the location of proposed houses on each lot, and their orientation. In Lots 6. 7 and 8, construction will involve the creation of a defined house pad. and in those lots the house locations will have only a minimum of flexibility. For the remaining 1 acre lots, the standard front and rear, 10 side, 35 side street setbacks would apply. For the two 2 acre lots, staff would recommend that the standard 50' front and rear. 30' side setbacks be applied. The orientation of Lots 9 and 10 as to what is front, side and rear is unclear. The City will require a Conseiwation and Flowage Easement over the wetlands in Lots 1,2 and 3. It appears that it will be critical to determine the 929.4 contour for defining the lake shoreline, specifically in relation to the vacation request. Lots 9 and 10 meet a 200' width standard for lots in the 2 acre zone. Lot 3 has a defined width of 120 ’ measured along the 35' setback curve, or 142’ measured in a straight line from side lot line to side lot line at the front setback line. However, Lot 3 is ftmctionally 160' in width and if it is concluded a variance is required, it is staffs '* r *9 ".rm
