r <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Department Approval: <br />Name: Michael P. Gaffron | <br />Title: Senior Planning Coordinator <br />Administrator Approval: <br />Date: March 4, 1998 <br />Item No.: /O <br />Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Description: #2339, James Render, 1365 Tonkawa Road - Preliminary Plat Review <br />Zoning District: LR-IC, Single Family Lakeshore Residential, 1/2 acre, sewered. <br />Proposal: Subdivide this 1.9 acre parcel into three building sites. <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Notice of Planning Commission Action 2/26/98 <br />B - Planning Commission Minutes 2/17/98 <br />C - Hennepin County Public Works Comments 2/12/98 <br />D - Applicants Letter to Planning Commission 2/12/98 <br />E - Revised Preliminary Plat Drawing 2/13/98 <br />F - Memo and Exhibits of 2/13/98 <br />Brief History of Application <br />At the January 20 meeting. Planning Commissi jn reviewed the applicant's three sketch plan concept <br />drawings and some additional conceptual sketches by staff. Since all lots were proposed to meet the <br />1/2 acre/100’ lot standards of the LR-IC zone, the primar>' issues surrounding the subdivision were <br />related to access, as well as buildability of the lots in relation to hardcover allowance. <br />Planning Commission expressed a concern that a full cul-de-sac as recommended by staff might be <br />excessive to serve just these three units. Planning Commission suggested that use of a private <br />driveway, with a "T" emergency vehicle turnaround and a shared driveway for Lots 2 and 3, is likely <br />more appropriate than a cul-de-sac for this magnitude of development. <br />The formal plat application was reviewed by Planning Commission at a public hearing on February <br />17. At that time staff again recommended that a full private road and cul-de-sac be developed for <br />these three lots, with additional right-of-way dedicated for a future public road connection to Birch <br />Lane (see discussion in staff n.ujno of February 13). Long Lake Fire Chief Mike Brown made a <br />presentation to the Planning Commission regarding the need for adequate emergency vehicle access <br />(see Planning Commission minutes).
