Zoning File #967 & #968 March 4, 1986 Page 2 of 3 off a 3rd lot in the future. Note that with the current division the City will require the dedication of approximately 18.7 feet of right-of-way over the traveled portion of Fox Street. (Fox Street is platted at 66' wide, but the traveled portion actually extends a few feet into the Idstrom property.) This will reduce the area of the "future" potential lot to 2.0 acres, still meeting the 2-acre requirement.. Also note the surveyor has designated a "barn zone" which would meet the 150' setback requirements for an animal barn. The Public Works Coordinator has rev' ed the proposed driveway access location and finds it very Euita iith good sight distance both directions. The applicant's engineer has submitted a soils report indicating that suitable areas exist on both lots for shallow trench drainfieid systems. fie has also provided information regarding the necessary culvert sizing for the area where the proposed driveway will cross the designated wetland in order to access the rear building site. This is not a DNR protected wetland. The Watershed District has given their approval of this crossing and culvert proposal, and City Engineer, Glenn Cook, has recommended that a corridor 32' wide be allowed for the propose-," driveway, with conservation and flowage easements taken over all the wetlands on the property. Note that the pror �,_d driveway location creates the least disruption of wetlands necessc.ry to access the back portion of Lot 1. In discussing the reasoning behind accessing onto Fox Street rather than onto the private ; oad abutting the property, applicant noted he preferred the privacy of a long driveway. Although accessing onto the existing private road seems more logical from a maintenance and cost standpoint, staff does not see any compelling reason to deny the new Fox Street access. Planning Commission reviewed this subdivision at their February 18, 1986 meeting and recommended preliminary plat approval subject to the following: 1. Submittal of driveway access easement documents between Lot 1 and Lot 2 as appropriate. 2. Dedication of standard drainage and utilities easements at the property boundaries. 3. Dedication of standard conservation and flowage easement ver the wet lands on the property, allowing a 20' corridor for _riveway purposes. 4. Dedication of 18.7 feet of right-of-way for Fox Street. 5. Payment of Park Fees in the amount of $200 for the 3.4 acre lot and $100 for the 10.1 acre lot.
