Zoning File #1470 <br />October 10, 1989 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />D) Variance to Section 11.10, Subdivision 21 (c) to allow 3 <br />lot development without a private road outlet. <br />Discussion - <br />In early discussions with staff, the applicant was advised <br />that complete septic testing would be required for this 5 ticre <br />subdivision due to the slope concerns on the property. <br />Additionally, it was suggested to applicant that a Planned <br />Residential Development (PRD) be considered for this property due <br />to its unique natural characteristics and unusual boundary <br />configuration. As of a week before this writing, applicant had <br />been requested by staff to provide a revised proposal showing <br />outlot roads rather than road easements to serve the subdivision. <br />In your discussion of the issues noted previously, staff <br />would suggest reviewing sketches FI througii F7. FI notes the <br />neighborhood ownership pattern and the location of neighboring <br />residences to the north. F2 notes the acreages of the three <br />blocks of property within the subdivision. F3 is a reduced <br />version of the applicant's concept plan for two new building <br />sites. F4 Indicates the existing and proposed driveway system. <br />Especially note the extreme length of driveway that would serve <br />Lots 2 and 3. From Bayside Road, the driveway serving Lot 3 <br />would be about 2,100 feet (or four-tenths of a mile) in length. <br />Sketch F5 is the first of three conceptual layouts provided <br />by staff for discussion purposes. This layout provides a 50* <br />road outlot to the Reiersgord boundary, and uses the applicant's <br />proposed 30' corridor for Lots 2 and 3. The alternate site for <br />Lot 1 is within Lot 1, although the contiguity is merely through <br />a 10' wide neck. With this configuration, there is still an <br />apparent need for an outlot east of the 30' driveway corridor, <br />and this outlot would need to become part of Lot 1 to make up the <br />required 5 acres for Lot 1. This sketch shows Lots 2 and 3 <br />abutting the private road outlot and containing significant <br />frontage on that outlot. The required 50' side and 100' rear <br />setbacks for the existing house would be maintained. Please note <br />that staff is not recommending this configuration, it is only for <br />discussion purposes. <br />Exhibit F6 is staff conceptual sketch B, which shows a <br />typical "block" subdivision configuration that ignores the <br />topography concerns for road construction. Each lot would have <br />the required frontage on a private road and meet the lot width <br />requirements. Also, the Asao property would have frontage and <br />required width on the private road.
