Zoning File #1516 April 13, 1990 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />In early discussions with the applicants' representative <br />Herb Baldwin, staff indicated that within the boundaries of the <br />subdivision, the City would require that a 50' outlot be platted <br />and the standard private road and utility easements be granted <br />over the existing main private roadway. The applicants have <br />shown this outlot within their proposed plat, <br />Mr. Baldwin was advised that the City would likely also <br />request that a cul-de-sac be platted and that it was not <br />predictable whether the City would require actual construction of <br />the cul-de-sac and upgrading of the road to private road <br />standards, given the history of similar situations and the City's <br />growing awareness of private road issues. <br />In discussions with staff, the City Engineer initially, <br />although somewhat reservedly, recommended that the cul-de-sac be <br />constructed and the entire road within the subdivision be <br />upgaded. His reluctance again relates to the City's private road <br />policies being currently under scrutiny. In later discussions <br />with the Engineer, and per his letter received today, he has <br />revised his recommendation to include the following: <br />1. Re-alignment of the road outlot for a future westerly <br />continuation. <br />2. Upgrade of the currently gravelled portion of the <br />private road outlot and the cul-de-sac to City private road <br />standards, allowing the existing recently paved portions of <br />private road to remain as is. A developer's agreement and <br />letter of credit would be required. <br />B. Septic System Considerations <br />The new building site is proposed as Lot 2, Block 1. Both <br />primary and alternate drainfield sites, meeting all City <br />criteria, have been tested and found to be suitable for sewage <br />treatment needs of the proposed new house. <br />On Lot 1, Block 1, the existing house is intended to be <br />removed, which is appropriate since the new lot line will bisect <br />it. This property has an existing functional mound drainfield, <br />and has possible alternate sites to the east near the open tennis <br />court, just west of the Morrison residence. Septic test reports <br />for these sites have not been submitted, tj^t these are not <br />required since this lot exceeds 5 dry acres. <br />Lot 3, Block 1 has an existing functional septic system and <br />has a tested alternate drainfield site north of the house.
