Zoning File #1093 December 5, 1986 Page 2 of 3 2. Septic testing for Lots 2 and 4. Staff has reviewed the septic testing for all lots and finds that both primary and alternate sites are provided. The sites on Lot 4 have been verified as to exact location on the slope, and are acceptable. A third site on Lot 2 has been tested and the original alternate site on Lot 2 has been revised and both are suitable for mound systems. The northeasterly alternate site on Lot 2 is most suitable due to its relatively flat slope, noting that this site would be detrimentally affected if the bas'_n was ever to be dammed to become a pond or wetland, hence no such land alteration would ever be allowed without a careful conditional use permit review. 3. Access to County Road 6. Planning Comm_sson recommended approval for the private roadway as proposed, on the basis that the City apparently has no legal right to force the Tanglewood Homeowners to allow a connection to their private road. The Tanglewood Homeowners object to the connection. In subsequent discussions with Hennepin County, the County has stated that they would approve this new r ad access for P & A Investments on a temporary basis, with the long-term goal of having one access serving both "Knoll Manor" and Tanglewood. On 12/5/86, Dave Zetterstrom of Hennepin County Department of Transportation verified that due to sight distance and topography, the Knoll Manor location is a better access than Tanglewood. Staff would present 4 access options Council to consider: a) Approve the proposal as -is with i consideration for a future shared road entrancF b) Accept the developer's suggestion to create a widened private road outlot abutting Tanglewood to provide space for a future access road link connecting one road to the other, but not stipulating when or how that connection will occur, or who will be financially responsible for the connection. c) Create an outlot connecting Tanglewood Road to Knoll Manor Road, requiring that the Tanglewood access be closed and the link constructed at P & A's expense because their development is making the Tanglewood access less safe. d) Create an outlot connr ting Knoll Manor to Tanglewood,' removing the existing dri eway at �80 County Road 6. P & A would ay in r;e expected to bear the v.,sts This proposal has been rejected a Tanglewood people who do no want more traffic on their road. Staff recommends, from a planning standpoint, that Option C is 1� e most appropriate, realizing th,-it: there may be much resistance from t..e Tanglewood Homeowners and reaIi,%ing there would be additional up -front costs to P & A.
