Zoning File #1321 <br />May 10, 1993 <br />Page 2 <br />6. Section 11.08 - Definition 24 - Lot area - minimum. All lots must contain a <br />minimum of 2 acres of dry contiguous buildable land e.xclusive of wetlands, <br />public and private rights-of-way, vehicular or pedestrian easements, surface areas <br />below the ordinary high water mark of any surface water or areas at or below the <br />flood plain elevation for a specific property. In cases where rural lots are <br />encroached by drainage easements, areas of drainage ways are excluded from dry <br />buildable but areas on either side of drainage way are considered inclusive within <br />contiguous dry buildable inventory. Per the definition, lands divided by wetlands, <br />floodplains or lake areas cannot be credited. <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Application <br />B - Property Owners List <br />C - Plat Map <br />D - Plan of Drainage Improvements Along West Lot Line <br />E - Topographic Map of Area <br />F - Map of Surrounding Area <br />G - Original Plat for 1990 Review <br />H - Engineer ’s Report <br />I - Septic Report <br />J - Current Preliminary Plan <br />Description of Current Application <br />Review Exhibits G and J, the original application proposed . a straight line division <br />line further south. The current proposal shows the proposed division line to the center line of <br />the existing drainage way that drains from east to west through the property. The drainage way <br />^“fines the actual physical barriers to both properties. Boih rural lots maintain the required 2 <br />acres of dry contiguous land. The division line along the drainage way creates a need for a lot <br />width variance of 28’ at the 50 ’ front setback line for proposed Lot 2. The City has approved <br />lot width variances with the creation of new lots when it can be found that the lots could be <br />configured to meet tne lot width requirement. The acnial boundaries of the properties are now <br />defined by a physical barrier of the drainage way and would reflect the actual usage of each lot. <br />Access to the property is via a shared private driveway outlot shown at a 30’ width along the <br />east side of the property. Current driveway is located outside of the outlot and it is <br />recommended that the shared drive be reinstalled within the driveway outlot. The City will ask <br />for a dedication of the 33’ of right-of-way of Watertown Road. Note property line runs to the <br />center of the roadway.
