Building envelope. The potential building envelope for <br />proposed Lot 1 would appear to be east of the area dedicated <br />for drainfield sites. An area of approximately 10,000-* <br />12,000 square feet appears to be available, meeting the <br />required setbacks. A second potential alternative building <br />site would be just southwest of the pond on higher ground, <br />but this site would require a driveway along the proposed <br />division line or an extremely long driveway along the north <br />and west sides of the pond. Note that the northerly 70* of <br />the property is covered by a power line maintenance <br />easement, with the existing power line being approximately <br />35' south of the north lot line. The easement language <br />suggests that development is not disallowed within the 70' <br />corridor so that a house could be built within that easement <br />area. Those power line easements run in favor of Wright <br />Hennepin Electric Co-op and Rural Co-op Power Association. <br />Because of the Glencoe-type high water table soils in the <br />potential building sites, one would expect that a residence <br />would be constructed with a very shallow (if any) basement, <br />and we would expect significant filling around the <br />foundation of the house to elevate it. This would be <br />typical of the houses successfully developed to the <br />i^edlate west of the property in the same soil types. <br />5. Willow Drive is currently a City road, and Public Works <br />Director John Gerhardson notes that a new driveway curb cut <br />at virtually any location along Willow Drive to serve Lot 1 <br />will be suitable. The existing driveway for the house on <br />Lot 1 is located on Willow Drive about 75' north of the <br />int<ursection with County Road 6, and would not be a suitable <br />Ircation for a shared driveway. With this information, <br />^itaff would recommend approval of a new separate curb cut to <br />serve proposed Lot 1. <br />Miaa'^Maaaaaamamrn^aamm-
