Zoning File #1821 May 10, 1993 Page 3 The original application was withdrawn when applicants pursued the building permit for the new construction and you should be aware that once a subdivision has been commenced, building permits cannot be issued for any new construction until the subdivision has been approved. The former residence on the property (Lx)t 1) has been demolished. Access As already noted, the access shall be shared via the private driveway outlot. Note accessory su jcture is only 5’ from lot line. Private driveway outlot can be reduced to 25’ in width. The City has no required standards for driveway outlot widths. Applicants have advised that 14’ X 26.4’ addition to the bam can easily be removed and is in a serious state of disrepair. This would reduce the accessory structure to 627.9 s.f. requiring only a 10’ setback. By reducing outlot width to 25’, structure will meet required 10 setback. Owners to immediate east had voiced concern that a driveway could be placed so close to a property line. The City has no standards for setbacks for private driveways to adjacent lot lines. In order to provide adequate distance from adjacent property, outlot may remain at a 30’ width along the portion that abuts the residence strucmre to the east and then reduced to a 25’ width as it approaches the accessory structure. Please review Exhibit H, the Engineer has recommended that the size of the culvert to be placed under the drive that extends southward be designed by an engineer in order to assure that upstream storage is not increased. Access and utility easements will be taken at a 10’ width along all pvrimeter property lines. Drainage Issues Review Exhibits D and E. drainage was the major concern during the earlier 1990 review. Specifically, the area along the northwest lot line where drainage originally traveled northward collecting within the northwest comer of property before it drained through 12" culvert. Concern was raised because of the location of the septic site areas proposed for Lot 1 and the need to keep the flooding elevation below the 974.5. Upon application for the new residence, the applicants were required to install a new septic system. If the principal dramfield site was to be used, the drainage improvements had to be completed. Drainage improvements consisted of the plugging of the 12" culvert, the installation of an underground tile drainage swale redirecting drainage to tributary to the south along the proposed shared lot line. The drainage way must be maintained if the proposed septic areas are to remain conlorming. It w ill be necessary to take a 20’ drainage easement over the drainage way along the west lot line.
