Tonka Lake Properties 1340 Baldur Park Road September 9, 1982 Page 2 3. The City is in receipt of a letter of credit for $5,000 to insure connection of the Olson home to City sewer with a deadline date of November 1, 1982. If this deadline is to be met as Council required, then work must begin no later than September 30, 1982. Engineered plans for the extension of City sewer (existing house and two stubs for Locs 2 & 3) must be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer prior to construction. 4. The hardcover issue was never adequately addressed in the original subdivision review. a) Your Planner has the following comments: Staff has a problem in reviewing this three -lot proposal for potential hardcover. There is a loss of control over what development may occur on each lot since, by ordinance, each lot is viewed individually and can have up to 25% hardcover (outside the 75' line). The common driveway hardcover excess is not deductible against the lots. The potential is actually for more hardcover in this three -lot design than was possible in the last four -lot design. Also, we have already had a potential purchaser of Lot 1 (the existing house) ask about major additions only to find that the proposed lot line locations restrict that lot so much as to prevent almost any changes without setback and'or hardcover variances, which we have said would not be approved. We suggested a lot line change now if any changes to that house are really expected. What has happened is that the minimum area of Lot 1 is strung out along the shoreline and driveway making this "area" effectively unusable. Recause this existing house is mostly within the 75' setback, designinq the lot lines as proposed acts to ignor this existing hardcover encroachment while increasing the lot area, and h,_nce, allowable hardcover for the two new lots. For the above reasons, staff would still recommend a PRD-style plat where each actual building env`lope is platted now, defining for all time the actual extent of future construction and hardcover. This is the only way actual buliding locations can be defined and platted. The four -unit layout was turned down because of excessive hardcover. Platting the PRD-style house locations is the only way Council can effectively control hardcover for the proposed threes -unit design.
