Zoning File #1407 <br />Hay 12, 1989 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />7* Additionally, as we are doing with the Hayzata County <br />subdivision, a 25* private road outlot snould be dedicated <br />on the plat for the private road along the north end of the <br />property. This 25* outlot would provide a corridor for the <br />southerly half of that existing road. The north lot line <br />would then still be approximately be 65* from the existing <br />house• <br />8. City Engineer Glenn Cook has walked the site of the new lot, <br />and feels that site has drainage concerns similar to the <br />Wayzata Country Club subdivision. Glenn is recommending <br />that a retention basin be provided near the southwest corner <br />of Lot 2, where a natural basin now exists. In order to <br />allow drainage to leave the site at a controlled ratw. As <br />in the Wayzata Country Club subdivision, the development of <br />Lot 2 with a new house and driveway is not expected to <br />significantly change the amount of drainage leaving the <br />property, and construction of a retention basin will to a <br />certain extent decrease the pre-existing drainage problems <br />for the neighbors to the south. <br />9. Staff early on explored the possibility of serving both the <br />Wayzata Country Club lot and this proposed lot via a new <br />private road between Lots 1 and 2. Because this area is <br />being developed to its densest potential development under <br />current zoning standards, and because both new lots have <br />access from either public or private roads, there seems to <br />be no good reason to create such a short new road to serve <br />just one or two residences. City codes would certainly not <br />require such a road. Furthermore, creation of such r road <br />would not be feasible without destroying the septic system <br />sites for the Wayzata Country Club lot, and would impact the <br />most appropriate building site for the Hauser lot. Based on <br />these considerations, staff feels there is no good reason to <br />further consider a new private road in this area. <br />Discussion - <br />Lots 1 and 2 both meet the required acreage and lot width <br />standards of the RR-IB zoning district. Septic testing has found <br />suitable drainfield sites. The City Engineer is addressing <br />drainage concerns in his review of the proposal, and is <br />recommending that applicant have his engineer design a retention <br />basin based on minimum requirements to be determined by the City <br />Engineer. New access roads are not necessary. Dedication for <br />existing public and private roads is necessary as part of the <br />platting process. The City is recommending that a shared <br />driveway between Lots 1 and 2 be developed rather than a separate <br />driveway for Lot 2.
