AL for-ETING AP? 81?n5 MNO To: City Council From: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Date: March 29, 1985 Subject: #896 James N. Anderson, 2300 Fox Street - Preliminary Subdivision Application - Create two new building sites from 8.1 acre parcel Zoning District - RR-1B - 2 Acre Rural Residential Total. Parcel Area = 8.1 Acres +/- (west) Lot 1 = 3.1 +/- acres dry, 0.95 +/- acre designated wetland (east) Lot 2 = 2.1 +/- acres dry, 1.95 +/- acres designated wetland Proposed Lot Width (both lots) = 182.5' (200' width required) List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survey with Proposed Division Exhibit E - Flowage and Conservation Easement The applicant is requesting a two lot subdivision of a vacant parcel noy.th of Fox Street. The total existing width of the property is 3651, hence meeting the 200' width requirement appears impossible. No additional land is available for pur- chase, hence a lot width variance is requested. While lot lines could be gerrymandered to create 200' widths at the building sites, there really seems to be no point in creating odd shaped lots in this instance. Each lot would have a lot width at the building site of 182.5. The City has approved similar subdivisions in th, past. A 2.9 acre wetland exists on the rear of the property over which a f lowage and conservation easement was granted during a previous subdivision of the property in 1977. The easement was filed with the County as Document No. 4342719 on December 19, 1977 (Exhibit E). (This information was submitted at the Plan- ning Commission meeting by the applicants.) The applicants have stated their intent to provide a single shared driveway access onto Fox Street, which is a City sheet at this location. The Public Works Coordinator has reviewed the site and notes that a shared driveway should be located not less than 50' east of the division line to maintain adequate site distance. :f each lot was to have a separate driveway, the westerly lot should have access at the southwest corner which is the crest of the road at that point.
