Our current review is based on the following submittal items: <br />• Certificate of Survey prepared by Gronberg & Associates, dated 7/30/13 <br />• Architectural Plans prepared by Joe's Drafting & Design, dated 7/15/13 <br />We offer the following observations, comments, and recommendations for your consideration: <br />The Applicant is proposing extensive additions to the existing home, which is located in the RR-lB <br />(One Family Rural Residential -2 Acre) zoning district. <br />PC Exhibit F <br />1. <br />2. The existing house and lot are currently out of compliance with required lot standards. Since the <br />proposed additions would also not meet required lot standards, the City should consider the following <br />lot characteristics: <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />Standard Required Existing Proposed <br />Lot Area 2 ac 0.321 ac 0.321 ac <br />Lot Width 200' 160' 160' <br />Front Setback 50' 15.8' 15.8' <br />Side Setback 30' 4.1 '/87.8, 14.4'/70' <br />Rear Setback 50' 16.7 19' <br />The perimeter siltfence should be inspected by the City prior to any land altering activities. <br />Since this project will disturb the majority of the lot, it is recommended that a financial security of <br />$3,000 for erosion control and engineering oversight be required of the Applicant. The financial <br />security is intended to provide protection in the event that it becomes necessary for the City to install <br />or maintain erosion and sediment control within the project area and covers the cost of turf re- <br />establishment if the applicant is unable to follow through with the conditions of approval. <br />The applicant may be required to obtain Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) approval and <br />permitting for their Erosion Control Rule. A copy of any required permits should be submitted prior to <br />any land altering activities.
