BUSCHBOM TRUST, <br /> 1150 HOMESTEAD TRAIL AND 3020 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH,LOT LINE <br /> REARRANGEMENT,8:11 P.M.—8:21 P.M. <br /> Richard Brama, Applicant, was present. <br /> Gaffron stated this is a subdivision for a lot line rearrangement resulting in an approximate equalization of <br /> the acreage between two existing tax parcels, each of which had or has an existing residence. The <br /> property at 1150 Homestead currently has a house on it. The result of the lot line rearrangement will be <br /> two conforming buildable lots. The applicant owns both subject properties. <br /> Gaffron stated the applicants are proposing to relocate the lot line further north. There were still be two <br /> separate tax parcel, with the existing house being in the south parcel. Gaffron stated the lot line <br /> rearrangement essentially creates a new developable lot. Both the lot with the existing house and the <br /> proposed northerly lot have been tested and approved for primary and alternate septic sites. <br /> Driveway access to the existing residence will not change. Prior to construction of a new home on the <br /> northerly lot, however, a Hennepin County driveway access permit will be required. Gaffron noted there <br /> are a number of locations where that driveway could be located. <br /> Gaffron noted this lot line rearrangement does not result in new lots and therefore no park fees and no <br /> stormwater trunk fees will be due. There are also no wetlands within the property boundaries. A wetland <br /> does exist on the adjacent property to the northwest of the site but does not impact any anticipated future <br /> site improvements. Hardcover is not at issue. <br /> The applicant's surveyor has described perimeter drainage and utility easements proposed to be granted. <br /> Such easements do not currently exist as these properties were never platted. The City Engineer has <br /> recommended that the drainage and utility easement along the north boundary of the north parcel be <br /> expanded to ten feet, as this is abutting Baker Park. <br /> Staff recommends approval. The property owner has provided new proposed legal descriptions for each <br /> property. As part of this approval, the applicant will be required to file new deeds based on the new legal <br /> descriptions. Staff will work with the property owner and the City Attorney to ensure that the necessary <br /> documents are prepared and filed. <br /> The Planning Commission should hold the public hearing regarding the lot line rearrangement and make a <br /> recommendation to the City Council. <br /> Landgraver asked how big the property across the street is. <br /> Gaffron stated to his recollection it is approximately 30 acres. <br /> Page 15 of 53 <br />
