VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> 3. 09-3412 CORTNEY SCOTT LeNEAVE ON BEHALF OF CORTNEY WAYNE <br /> LeNEAVE,360 WAKEFIELD ROAD, SUBDIVISION—SKETCH PLAN <br /> Coriney Scott LeNeave and Coriney Wayne LeNeave,Applicants,were present. <br /> Turner stated the applicant is requesting sketch plan review on a proposal to divide the property located at <br /> 360 Wakefield Road into two lots. The property consists of 7.07 acres and is located in the RR-1B zone. <br /> There are two wetlands on the property. A wetland delineation has been completed and accepted by the <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. <br /> Turner illustrated the configuration of the two lots that would be created and the location of the wetlands. <br /> Access for Lot 1 would remain as is. A new driveway would provide access for Lot 2. It appears that the <br /> driveway would need to meander to reduce its slope to the maximum allowed 10 percent. <br /> Approximately 5,900 square feet of wetland is proposed to be filled to provide a driveway to the new lot. <br /> This will require a rezoning to remove that portion of the property from the wetland overlay district and to <br /> add the mitigation area to the wetland overlay district. A permit from the MCWD will also be required. <br /> PAGE 3 <br />
