TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jeanne A. Mauusth DATE: June 17, 1982 SUBJECT: #685 Charles V. Krogness, 185 South Brown Road - Subdivision Zoning District - RR-1B Application - plat - 2 lots Area - 8 acres Review - Work Session List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Septic Report Exhibit D - Septic Map Exhibit E - Preliminary Plan The applicant proposes a 2 lot plat of his 8 acre homestead. Mr. Krogness plans to construct a new home on Lot 1 and sell the existing nomu on Lot 2. The newly created lots satisfy all standards of the RR-lB zoning district. All existing structures, except for a playhouse on Lot 2, meet the required setbacks from the proposed division line. Access via the location at the 40' corridor at Brown Road is not acceptable. This access will be subject to review by Hennepin County and that report should be received by the night of our public hearing. I would suggest a shared access at the existing dri,,•eway to Lot 2. Lot 2 can grant an exclusive access easement in favor of Lot 1. Access via the 40' corridor is limited by a steep sl-)pe, powfr pole, proximity to bridge over Luce Line and a heavy buffer of mature trees. The access question is similar to the concerns expressed by the Planninq Commission and Council during the subdivision review for Bob White's 2 lot plat. In that application, the City required portions of one lot to abutt the public road but required access to that same lot via a safer existing driveway on the other lot. The septic review found Lot I able to support a standard septic system (shallow trench design recommended). Our site inspection found Lot 2 with more serious problems. Portions of the existing dra4`ield appear to extend 10' to 20' into Lot 1. The proposed nee for Lot 1 will be located or rather squeezed into the eas corner of the lot :iangerously close to the existing sepLIC iine. Rearranging the lot line will not help the applicant as it will do away with his potential hou:. location. The septic consultant is wary of merely closing off the encroaching septic lines 10' from the lot line because the soil disturbance may create a seepage point if lines fill up. He also is cautious of the nearness of those existinq lines to potential run off from the new home and the usual disturbance of lands associated with construction.
