zoning File #1096 <br />February 2, 1987 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Review Exhibit F, Cook is concerned with the drainage that <br />is channeled to the southeast corner of the Rosch property. We <br />have inspected the site and would recommend that a drainage ditch <br />also be installed along the edge of the right-of-way of Watertown <br />Road up to the east side of the Rosch's driveway. The ditch <br />along Watertown Road would be just to the north of the larce <br />trees along the road. Cook advises that Ms. Rosch would hav• <br />grant a temporary construction easement along the south ad, <br />her property line to permit the installation. In addition, <br />Engineer states that a larger sized culvert would have to be <br />installed under the Rosch driveway. <br />Staff has er _losed a copy of the private road easement and <br />covenants for maintenance of the road (Exhibit D), that was <br />executed by the applicants with the first plat. Note on page 2, <br />first paragraph the reference to Lot 2 Hallson Estates' future <br />use of the private road. <br />The issue of future access was not introduced by staff. The <br />Peterman Addition was a recent plat and the directives of the <br />previous Council were realized. The minority opinion of one (3 <br />to 1 vote) voted for the designation of an outlot that would <br />extend to north boundary line of the subject property. The <br />minority opinion felt that it is the primary role of this <br />Commission to plan for the future. The property to the north may <br />not be developed at current rural standards based on preliminary <br />tests that suggest very poor soils and high water tables. If <br />sewer is available at a distant future time, the property may <br />very well be developed at even greater densities than the current <br />2 acre minimum. The minority opinion felt that the City would be <br />remiss to not designate the access to the north with this plat <br />since the subject property is now platted at maximum density. <br />Staff would concur with the minority opinion. The majority of <br />the Planning Commission recommended that the road outlot remain <br />as proposed. Council must direct staff to incorporate the <br />appropriate language regarding the road outlot in the enclosed <br />resolution granting preliminary approval of the six lot plat. <br />The applicant has submitted a letter (Exhibit F), requesting <br />a variance to the required paved width standard for a private <br />road that would serve 6 lots. <br />Rc aired - 24' <br />Proposed - 20' <br />
