WHITE 180 WORTH SWORE DRIVE WEST PRELIMIHART SOBDIVISIOW-SECOWD REV 191 COHTIWDATIOH OF PUBLIC HEARIW6 The applicant was present for this matter. Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron reminded the Planning Commission that this matter had been discussed at the August 15, 1988 Planning Commission Meeting. At that time the proposal Involved a configuration for 2 lots and an out lot. The Planning Commission had requested a topographical map to aid in the division of the property. The applicant has now revised the lot lines to create only a single lot, dividing the existing house from the whole parcel. Staff has reviewed access possibilities with Hennepin County. Originally it was surmised that an access site could be at the very south of the applicant's property. It has since been determined that the best access location would be off of Bayside Road at the northeast corner of the property. The Planning Commission also had requested information concerning future plans for development of the neighboring properties. Gaffron depicted on a sketch where the possible road placements could occur to access these potential new developments. However, Hennepin County has indicated that 2 of those possibilities would be undesireable due to accessing near high-traffic areas. It is likely that accesses would not be determined until such time that the properties are individually subdivided and the City required a dedicated interior road. One of the concerns of this matter is whether the large lot becomes an out lot with development stipulations or merely becomes Lot 2. An outlot with stipulations could disallow any construction until the lot became subdivided. This would allow the City to consider whether a proposed development fit the scheme for future subdivisions. If this other lot was considered Lot 2, presumably development could occur in any location within that lot. Chairman Kelley inquired as to how many acres consisted in Lot 1 and the undesignated Lot. Gaffron responded that Lot 1 was 2 acres of dry and approximately 1.5 acres of wet. Lot 2, or the Outlot, has approximately 10 acres of dry. Planning Commission member Johnson asked whether Orono would grant a building permit on an outlot. Gaffron stated that if the lot were designated as an outlot, the City would request conditions be established for development. Planning Commission member Bellows asked what the purpose was for accomplishing the subdivision at this point. Gaffron explained that the applicant had a contract to sell his house with a parcel of property that meets the City's standards for a 2 acre lot. Kelley stated that he would be in favor of this proposal if
