FILE #18-3998 <br />February 20, 2018 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br />District Tier <br />Tier 1 25% 31,776 (21%) 31,776 (21%) <br /> <br />Hardcover sheets have been provided as Exhibit J. The structural and hard cover <br />limitations are met with the proposed subdivision. <br /> <br />Septic System Status <br />All five lots will be served by municipal sanitary sewer. The sanitary sewer line will be <br />relocated to the middle of the peninsula, with the relocation of the road. The existing <br />main will be abandoned. <br /> <br />Vacation and Relocation of the road. The significant feature of this development <br />proposal is the relocation of the Bracketts Point Road to the center of peninsula. To <br />vacate a public right of way, the City Council must first determine that the existing right <br />of way serves no public interest. In this case, Staff supports the vacation because the <br />right of way will be relocated as illustrated in Exhibit I, preserving the public interest while <br />removing hardcover from the lake. <br /> <br />The relocation will trigger the need to relocate utilities, including the sanitary sewer trunk <br />line. The relocation of the trunk line will require the need for a second lift station serving <br />the area. For the city, this lift station is preferable to a deep trunk line and potential <br />conflicts with water table and soil stability. <br /> <br />The proposed relocation also allows for a more efficient connection with the private <br />portion of Bracketts Point Road, serving the three existing lots on the south side of the <br />peninsula. Access to all lots will be maintained, as will utility connections. The Planning <br />Commission and Council should discuss whether a public wayside is necessary to be <br />retained. The Comprehensive Plan does not identify this existing wayside as a lake access. <br /> <br />The DNR did provide comment, attached as Exhibit S. They are not opposed to the <br />vacation. <br /> <br />Analysis <br />Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use of the property is consistent with the <br />comprehensive plan, in terms of use and density. The net density is 2.54 units per acre. <br /> <br />Zoning Ordinance. The applicant approached this project with the goal of avoiding <br />variances. The lots meet the minimum width and area requirements. Each lot allows <br />sufficient area for development of an in character home without the need for setback <br />variances. <br /> <br />Average Lake Shore Setback. When developing new lakeshore lots, it is often beneficial
