Three of the proposed lots would <br /> require variances for lot width and direct access to Wildhurst Trail. A fourth lot with access to a <br /> driveway located in the platted but undeveloped Garden Lane is also proposed. All lots meet the <br /> minimum one acre requirement as shown. <br /> Weinberger stated the major issues relating to this proposed subdivision include a major ravine <br /> that intersects the north end of the property. The City will be requesting a drainage easement over <br /> this ravine. City Staff will also need to review the proposed building pads in relation to the <br /> topography to see whether they are suitable. A major portion of this property drains to the south <br /> and east, with some concerns about erosion occurring on the east side of Wildhurst Trail due to <br /> stormwater flows. Grading and drainage plans must be submitted to City Staff and to the Minnehaha <br /> Creek Watershed District for review and approval. <br /> Weinberger stated another issue would relate to whether this should be a private road versus a <br /> • <br /> public road.
