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 ar..1 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 basin was ever to be dammed to become a pond or wetland, he:,ce no such land alteration would ever be allowed without a careful conditional use permit review. 3. Access to County Road 6. Planning Commisson 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 roa,1. The Tanglewood Homeowners object to the connection. In subsequent discussions with Hennepin County, the County has stated that tht y would approve this new road access for. P & A Investments on a temporary basis, with the long-term goal of having one access serving both "Knoll Manor" nd Tanglewood. On 12/5/86, Dave Zetterstrom of Hennepin County Departm_ t 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 for Council to consider: a) Approve the proposal as -is with no consideration for a future shared road entrance. b) Accept the developer's cuggesti.on to create a widened private road outlot abutting Tanglewood to pi o.'ide space for a future access road link connecting one road to th` ctner, but not stipulating when or how that connection wi 11 occur, or ','io wi l l 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 connecting Knoll Manor to Tanglewood, removing the existing driveway at 1380 County Road 6. P & A would again be expected to bear the costs. This proposal has been re;ected by the Tanglewood people who do not want more traffic on their road. Staff recommends, from a planning standpoint, that Option C is the most appropriate, realizinu that there may be much resistance from the Tanglewood homeowners and realizing there would be additional up -front costs to P & A.
