3HIT33M J!3H ’J90 i%wJyVfibZonin Jun Page 2 of 4 DRAIHAGB ISSUE - Similar to the Wayzata Country Club proposal, contributes run-off to properties to the south. The cm Engineer has recommended that a small detention basin be P at the southwest corner of Lot 2, to collect run-off from the Hauser property and discharge it at a controlled rate. The Planning Commission recommendation included the condition that the detention basin be designed by applies engineer and reviewed and approved by ^he City Engineer p -ior t rnnnr.<l preliminary plat approval. In discussions with the applicants after the Planning Commission "'®®bing of May 15tn, this application was scheduled for the Ju"® anticiMting a potential reconfiguration of the property by combining this subdivision with that of ?°""*^howevM^^Such a proposal does not now appear to be forthcoming, however, specific issues regarding the need for new roads etc., affected the parameters of design for the desired detention basin, hence a detention basin has not yet been designed. Council may wish to table this application and approval of the detention basin design, or could |° “bead with preliminary plat approval. Note also that the easement for such a basin would be excluded from the 2 a^re lot area hence the proposed dividing line would have to move slightly northward, perhaps 10-15 feet, to maintain the 2 acre minimum. DRIVENAY ACCESS ISSUE - In his review of the site, the City Engineer has jeco^ended that a shared driveway access serve both Lots 1 and 2. Such an access would moat logically use ®^^®V^\f^m.'^ved^fSrthe^point onto North Ferndale Road, which ^ould be moved f^^^her south to avoid the need for an easement across Lot 1. From a consistent policy standpoint, it would be appropriate for these two lots to share one access curb cut. 'ihe applicants have submitted a sketch and a '®^ reques. expressing their desire for a separatemid-way along the east line of Lot 2. J^eir reasons for such a request include privacy, topography and ease of. maintenance concerns, and their hope to create the least disruption of the property. The proposed driveway would avoid conflict with drainfield sites. Note also that from a ®>9ht dist^ -e stan point, the proposed entrance is a very safe l°®“bion, but does add one more access point that Ferndale traffic must contend with.
