Zonine File #2029 June 9^ 1995 Page 4 3.Back lot/front lot with 30’ driveway outlot (Exhibit O). This option would satisfy access requirement for the division of this propert>\ Only Lots 1 aiKl 2 shall achieve access via the driveway. Lot 2, Beau Marais would retain access from the existing casement drive. There would be minor encroachment of the 26 ’ setback and a need to intersect drainageway at northern border of outlot to allow Lot 1 to use existing northern portion of driveway. Since our sketch plan review, this City Engineer, applicant and applicant’s consultant have met on the site and walked the eastern portions of the property. A driveway along the east side could be installed and does not appear to be a major engineering feat. The narrowest part of the wetland would have to be intersected by a driveway ihat would extend to Lot I’s driveway. If one just deals with a back lot configuration, this would appear to be a means of satisfying the ordinances but what of the aesthetic impact? 4.Individual curb cut to serve proposed Lot 2. Proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2 of the Beau Marais plat would continue to use the easement drive. The City Engineer has reviewed the area to the west of the easement driveway and finds no sighting problems with the selection of a curb cut to the west side of Lot 2. This option appears to be a rather contrived means of circumventing the demands of the ordinance, and in many ways is in direct opposition to the goals and intent of the Comp Plan. 5.No acceptable access plan. Property cannot be subdivided Options of Action The Planning Commission members must select an access option or deny plat. If an access option is approved, then the necessary vanances must also be granted, refer to Section 11.02, Subdivision 10 (A) (1-7) for required findings. If any upgrades of existing improvements are considered in your option, please include them in conditions of approval.
