Zoning File #1875 <br />October 14, 1993 <br />Page 2 <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />This subdivision results from a 19S4 purchase agreement between the Whites and Don <br />Kempf for sale of the existing house with a two-acre parcel of land. The application <br />originally came to the City in 1988 proposing a three-acre lot w ith the house, a four- <br />acre lot to the north and east, and the remaining nine acres as an outlot. <br />One can trace the discussions that Planning Commission had in 1988 through the attached <br />memos and minutes. Briefly. City requirements for an internal road system, defining <br />septic sites, etc. convinced the applicant to revise the request to merely splitting off a lot <br />for the house, leaving the remaining property as an outlot for future development. The <br />Planning Commission and Council both agreed to this proposal since the wetland at the <br />south end of the property makes it unlikely that the house would ever be served by an <br />interior road. Therefore, it seemed reasonable to allow it to be split off w ith enough <br />acreage to meet City requirements and include an alternate drainfield site. <br />The original preliminar>' plat approval in 1988 (see Resolution No. 2508) included the <br />following unique conditions; <br />d.17’ of right-of-way for County Road 19 to be dedicated on the plat. Although the <br />applicant feels this is not a reasonable dedication, the City has deemed County <br />Road 19 and its "ring-route" connection to Highway 12 as a major traffic <br />corridor, and 100 ’ right-of-way is consistent with the McCulley Road right-of- <br />way. Further, Hennepin County DOT has requested the additional 17’. <br />b.All future development in Outlot A must be served by interior roads, but the <br />existing house may continue to access onto County Ro^ 19. <br />c.A conservation and flowage casement shall be granted over the wetland located <br />in Lot 1 and Outlot A. <br />d. No building pennils will be issued for Outlot A until it is further subdivided and <br />served by an interior road. <br />Additionally, note that this outlet status results in no park land dedication or fee being <br />required until the future subdivision of Outlot A. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />This application is submitted as a simple renewal of the approval granted in 1988, with <br />no changes. Planning Commission has the option to address any or all of the development issues <br />noted in the previous application documents if you so desire. <br />Any recommendation for approval should include the findings, conditions and <br />requirements as outlined in Resolution No. 2508, subject to the update fees, etc. noted in the <br />March 18, 1993 letter to Don Kempf.
