REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Name Michael P. Gaffron Title Senior Planning Coordinator DATE: December 10, 1998 ITEM NO.: Agenda Section: Zoning Item Description: Mike Hilbelink/Mark Johnson, 4461 Bayside Road -Request to amend or rescind Condition 2 of Resolution No. 3346 -Resolution Zoning District: RR-IB, 2 acre rural residential List of Exhibits A -Draft Resolution B -Letter of Request C -Resolution No. 3346 D -Site Evaluation/Site Plan E -Plat Drawing F -Topographic Map Summary of Request Resolution No. 3346 approved the plat of Johnson Wheeler 1st Addition in October 1993. Condition No. 2 of that approval required that the driveway to serve Lot 2 be located at the southeast comer of the lot to avoid conflicts with the tested and approved drainfield sites. The City code requires a minimum separation of 20' between drainfield sites and driveways or other hard surfaces. Because this required driveway location would yield a circuitous route and have a potential negative impact on the neighboring residence due to auto headlights, the property owner is having additional septic testing performed to determine whether the approved sites can be relocated. If the approved sites can be shifted or new sites found that will meet code requirements, there may be no further need for this approval condition. In that case, the property owner would like the condition revised. As of this writing, no new information has been provided as to the actual feasibility of relocating the drainfield sites. There is a dug pond on the site which may impact the feasible locations. The applicant notes the goal is to establish a driveway at a location somewhere between the originally approved primary and alternate drainfield sites. There is no stated intent to establish a new driveway access onto Bayside Road, and it was concluded during the 1993 subdivision review that the best access would be via sharing the existing driveway.
